Genesis 8

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

And he remembered God Noah and every animal and all the livestock which [were] with him in the ark and he made to pass God a wind over the earth and they subsided the waters.

2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

And they were shut up [the] springs of [the] deep and [the] floodgates of the heavens and it was restrained the rain from the heavens.

3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.

And they turned back the waters from on the earth going and turning back and they decreased the waters from [the] end of fifty and one hundred day[s].

4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.

And it rested the ark in the month seventh on [the] seven-teen day of the month on [the] mountains of Ararat.

5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.

And the waters they were going and decreasing until the month tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] one of the month they were seen [the] tops of the mountains.

6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

And it was from [the] end of forty day[s] and he opened Noah [the] window of the ark which he had made.

7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

And he sent out the raven and it went out continuously and returned until dried up the waters from on the earth.

8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

And he sent out the dove from with him to see ¿ were they abated the waters from on [the] surface of the ground.

9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

And not found the dove a resting place for [the] sole of foot its and it returned to him into the ark for water [was] on [the] surface of all the earth and he stretched out hand his and he took it and he brought it to him into the ark.

10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.

And he waited again seven days other and he repeated to send out the dove from the ark.

11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

And it came to him the dove to [the] time of evening and there! a leaf of olive freshly plucked [was] in mouth its and he knew Noah that they were abated the waters from on the earth.

12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

And he waited again seven days other and he sent out the dove and not it repeated to return to him again.

13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

And it was in one and six hundred year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month they were dried up the waters from on the earth and he removed Noah [the] covering of the ark and he saw and there! they were dried up [the] surface of the ground.

14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

And in the month second on [the] seven and twenty day of the month was dry the earth.

15 God spoke to Noah, saying,

And he spoke God to Noah saying.

16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

Go out from the ark you and wife your and sons your and [the] wives of sons your with you.

17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”

Every animal which [is] with you some of all flesh among the bird[s] and among the livestock and among every creeping thing which creeps on the earth (bring out *Qk) with you and they will swarm on the earth and they will be fruitful and they will multiply on the earth.

18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.

And he went out Noah and sons his and wife his and [the] wives of sons his with him.

19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

Every animal every creeping thing and every bird every creeping [thing] on the earth to families their they went out from the ark.

20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And he built Noah an altar to Yahweh and he took some of all - the livestock clean and some of every bird clean and he offered up burnt offerings on the altar.

21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

And he smelled Yahweh [the] odor of soothing and he said Yahweh to heart his not I will repeat to curse again the ground for sake of humankind for [the] inclination of [the] heart of humankind [is] evil since youth his and not I will repeat again to strike down every living [thing] just as I have done.

22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Again all [the] days of the earth seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night not they will cease.
