Genesis

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the Ark; and God caused a Spirit-wind to pass over the earth, and the waters receded.

Also the fountains of the Great Deep and the sluice-gates of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.

The waters receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

And the Ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

The waters continued to recede until the tenth month; on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

After forty days Noah opened the light-opening he had made in the Ark

and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.

But the dove could find no place to set its foot because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to him in the Ark. He reached out his hand and took it into the Ark.

He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the Ark.

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but it did not return to him anymore.

In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the Ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

Then God said to Noah,

Go out from the Ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and cattle and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, so they can swarm on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on the earth."

So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives.

Every living thing and every creeping thing and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, came out of the Ark, one kind after another.

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean cattle and clean birds, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And the LORD smelled the aroma of rest; and the LORD said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, even though the inclination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; neither will I again strike every living thing as I have done.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
