It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
