was restrained; ,

3 And the waters returned from if cll,b' off the earth l continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

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 2 decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

6 IT And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened g the window of the ark which he had made:

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth * to and fro, untd the waters were dried up from off the earth.

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.

10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark:

II 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.

13 IT 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 01 the month, was the earth dried.

15 II 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 crecpeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and A be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and liis 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.

20 "IT And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of i every clean beast, and of eveiy clean fowl, and offered burnt-oiferingson the altar.

21 And the Lord smelled a 6 sweet savour; k and the Lord said in his heart, 1 will not again I curse the ground any more for man's sake; 'for the mimagination of man's heart is evil fromhis youth; neither willl again nsmite anymore every tiling living, as I have done.
