This show is about Genesis 8:1-14 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts:

(H) 8:1 Then God began remembering Noah and every living thing, even every land animal which was with Noah in the box vessel. So God started to cause a wind [or, “a spirit”] to pass over the earth and it began to decrease the waters.
(G) 8:1 Then God had to remember Noe and all of the wild animals and all of the pack animals and all of the birds and all of the reptiles, as many as there were with Noe in the wooden box vessel. God brought a spirit [or, “a wind”] upon the earth, and the water receded.

(H) 8:2 The water sources of the abyss and the windows of the sky heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky heavens was held back.
(G) 8:2 The water sources of the abyss and the downward gates of the sky heaven were covered up, and the rain from the sky heaven was held back.

(H) 8:3 Then the waters began to turn away from being against the earth; they began to move and to turn.
Now at the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters started to become less noticeable.
(G) 8:3 And the water began to weaken, going away from the land. It weakened and after one hundred and fifty days it started to have less presence.

(H) 8:4 So the box vessel began to rest upon the mountains of Ararat in the seventh month during the seventeenth day of the month.
(G) 8:4 The wooden box vessel sat down upon the Ararat mountains during the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh of the month.

(H) 8:5 The waters had become as though they were leaving when they started to become less noticeable during the tenth month. In the tenth month, during the first part of the month that is when the tops [or, “heads”] of the mountains had appeared.
(G) 8:5 Then the water continued having less presence until the tenth month, and during the tenth month in the first part of the month the tops [or, “heads”] of the mountains were seen.

(H) 8:6 So it came to be at the end of forty days when Noah started to open up a window of the box vessel which he had put together.
(G) 8:6 After forty days it happened: Noe opened the window of the wooden box craft which he had made.

(H) 8:7 He started by sending away a raven, and it would go out and return as long as it took for the waters to be dried up from upon earth.
(G) 8:7 He sent forth a raven to see if the water had withdrawn, and after it left it would not return until the water had dried up from the earth.

(H) 8:8 Then he began sending out the dove bird with the raven to see if the waters had lessened from upon the surface of the ground.
(G) 8:8 Then he sent the dove bird behind the raven to see if the water had withdrawn from the surface of the earth.

(H) 8:9 Now since the dove had not found a resting place for the bottom of its foot, then Noah began to take it back to him into the box vessel, because waters were upon the surface areas of all of the earth. So he started to put out his hand and he would take the bird and bring it in with him into the box vessel.
(G) 8:9 Not finding a resting place for its feet the bird returned to Noe into the wooden box craft, because water was upon every surface area of the earth. After stretching forth his hand, Noe received the dove and he brought the dove with him into the wooden box craft.

(H) 8:10 So he waited around another seven days and he started to do it again: Noah sent away the dove from the box vessel.
(G) 8:10 After waiting yet another seven days he again sent out the dove from the wooden box craft.

(H) 8:11 Now the dove was coming back toward Noah around late afternoon and, behold! a freshly plucked leaf from an olive tree was in its mouth. So Noah started to realize the waters had lessened from upon the surface of the ground.
(G) 8:11 Then the dove returned to Noe near evening and it had a leaf of an olive tree in its mouth, a small branch. So Noe knew the water had withdrawn from the earth.

(H) 8:12 Then he waited around another seven days and he sent away the dove, but it did not anymore return to him again.
(G) 8:12 After waiting yet another seven days he again sent out the dove and it did not anymore return to him again.

(H) 8:13 It came about in the six hundredth and first year, in the first part of the first month the waters had dried up from upon the ground. Noah took away a covering part of the box vessel and he started to look and, behold! the waters had dried up from upon the surface areas of the ground.
(G) 8:13 And it came to be in the six hundredth and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on day one of the month the water withdrew from the earth. Then Noah revealed the roof of the wooden box craft which he made and he saw the water withdrew from the surface of the earth.

(H) 8:14 It was in the second month, during the twenty-seventh day of the month, the ground had become dry.
(G) 8:14 In the second month, during the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried up.
