Genesis 8:1-19

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 God remembered Noah and all the wild and domestic animals with him in the ship. So God made a wind blow over the earth, and the water started to go down.

2 The deep springs and the sky had been shut, and the rain had stopped pouring.

3 The water began to recede from the land. At the end of 150 days the water had decreased.

4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship came to rest in the mountains of Ararat.

5 The water kept decreasing until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

6 After 40 more days Noah opened the window he had made in the ship

7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the land had dried up.

8 Next, he sent out a dove to see if the water was gone from the surface of the ground.

9 The dove couldn't find a place to land because the water was still all over the earth. So it came back to Noah in the ship. He reached out and brought the dove back into the ship.

10 He waited seven more days and again sent the dove out of the ship.

11 The dove came to him in the evening, and in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf. Then Noah knew that the water was gone from the earth.

12 He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but it never came back to him.

13 By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water on the land had dried up. Noah opened the top of the ship, looked out, and saw the surface of the ground.

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was dry.

15 Then God spoke to Noah,

16 "Come out of the ship with your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives.

17 Bring out every animal that's with you: birds, domestic animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth. Be fertile, increase in number, and spread over the earth."

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

19 Every animal, crawling creature, and bird--everything that moves on the earth--came out of the ship, one kind after another.

New International Version NIV

1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.

2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.

3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,

4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

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

6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark

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

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

9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.

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

11 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.

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

13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

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

15 Then God said to Noah,

16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.

17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”

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

19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
