Genesis 8:6-12

Genesis 8:6 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

Genesis 8:7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.

Genesis 8:8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.

Genesis 8:9 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.

Genesis 8:10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.

Genesis 8:11 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.

Genesis 8:12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
