Genesis 8:11
Compare all
9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.
10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Go out of the ark, ayou and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.  
17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and abe fruitful and multiply on the earth.”  
18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.

God’s Covenant with Creation

20 Then Noah built an aaltar to the Lord, and took of bevery clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered cburnt offerings on the altar.  
21 And the Lord smelled aa soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again bcurse the ground for man’s sake, although the cimagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; dnor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. 
22 “While the earth aremains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And bday and night
Shall not cease.”
