- Kapitel 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.
2
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
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.

Noah Sends a Raven and a Dove

6
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship 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.
8
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from 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.
10
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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.
12
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

Exiting the Ark

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.
14
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives 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.”
18
Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

Noah Builds an Altar

20
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD 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.
22
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
1
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.(a)
4
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.(b)

Noah Sends a Raven and a Dove

6
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.(c)
8
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.(d)
10
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

Exiting the Ark

13
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.(e)

Noah Builds an Altar

20
And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord ; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21
And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.(f) (g)
22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.(h)
