8. [Genesis 8:1-22 KJV*]

1. [Genesis 8:1-22 KJV] 1 And Alahym remembered[h2142] Aleph/Tav–Noah, extending to {Vav/Aleph/Tav} every living thing, and Aleph/Tav–all the animal that [was] Aleph/Tav{/Vav} with him in the ark: and Alahym made [h7307]a spirit to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2. 2 And fountains of [h8415]abyss, [h699]and windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from the heavens was restrained;
3. 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and from the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4. 4 And the ark rested[h5117][ותּנח] in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5. 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.
6. 6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window[h2474] of Aleph/Tav of the ark which he had made:
7. 7 And he sent forth the raven of Aleph/Tav, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8. 8 Also he sent forth the dove of Aleph/Tav from him of Aleph/Tav, to see if the waters [h7043]were lightened^[cb] from off the face of the ground[h127];
9. 9 But the dove found no rest[h4494][מנוח] 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 of Aleph/Tav in unto him into the ark.
10. 10 [h2342]And he writhed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove of Aleph/Tav out of the ark;
11. 11 And the dove came in to him [h6256]for the time of evening[h6153]; and behold, in her mouth an olive leaf [h2965]torn off: so Noah knew that the waters [h7043]were lightened^[cc] from off the earth.
12. 12 [h3176]And he waited^[cd] yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove of Aleph/Tav which returned not again unto him any more.
13. 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[h2717]up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering[h4372] of Aleph/Tav of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry[h2717].
14. 14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth [h3001]dried up.
15. 15 And Alahym spake unto Noah, saying,
16. 16 Go forth of the ark, you of Aleph/Tav, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you of Aleph/Tav.
17. 17 Bring forth with you of Aleph/Tav every living thing that [is] with you of Aleph/Tav, of all flesh, [both] of flying creature, and of animals, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that [h8317]they may teem abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him of Aleph/Tav:
19. 19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20. 20 And Noah built an altar unto YAHUAH; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21. 21 And YAHUAH smelled a sweet savour of Aleph/Tav; and YAHUAH said in his heart, I will not again [h7043]make light the ground of Aleph/Tav any more for the Adam’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.
22. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
