8Verse 1Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.Verse 2The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,Verse 3And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.Verse 4And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.Verse 5And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.Verse 6So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,Verse 7And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.Verse 8Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.Verse 9But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.Verse 10And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.Verse 11And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.Verse 12Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.Verse 13And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.Verse 14And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.Verse 15Then God spake to Noah, saying,Verse 16Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.Verse 17Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.Verse 18So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.Verse 19Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.Verse 20Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.Verse 21And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.Verse 22Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
