Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.

Gen.8.8

He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.

Gen.8.8

Then he sent out a dove to see if it could find dry ground.

Gen.8.9

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.

Gen.8.9

but it couldn't even find a place to perch--water still covered the Earth. Noah reached out and caught it, brought it back into the ship.

Gen.8.9

But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.

Gen.8.9

But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

Gen.8.9

But the dove found no place to land because the water was still too high. So it returned to the boat, and Noah held out his hand and drew the dove back inside.

Gen.8.10

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

Gen.8.10

He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again.

Gen.8.10

He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

Gen.8.10

And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.

Gen.8.10

Seven days later, Noah released the dove again.

Gen.8.11

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.

Gen.8.11

It came back in the evening with a freshly picked olive leaf in its beak. Noah knew that the flood was about finished.

Gen.8.11

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

Gen.8.11

Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

Gen.8.11

This time, toward evening, the bird returned to him with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Noah now knew that the water was almost gone.

Gen.8.12

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

Gen.8.12

He waited another seven days and sent the dove out a third time. This time it didn't come back.

Gen.8.12

He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

Gen.8.12

So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

Gen.8.12

A week later, he released the dove again, and this time it did not come back.

Gen.8.13

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.

Gen.8.13

In the six-hundred-first year of Noah's life, on the first day of the first month, the flood had dried up. Noah opened the hatch of the ship and saw dry ground.

By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Gen.8.13

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

Gen.8.13

Finally, when Noah was 601 years old, ten and a half months after the flood began, Noah lifted back the cover to look. The water was drying up.

Gen.8.16

"Leave the boat, all of you.

Gen.8.17

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.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Gen.9.3

All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else.

Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Gen.9.5

"But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.

Whoever sheds human blood, by humans let his blood be shed, Because God made humans in his image reflecting God's very nature.

Gen.9.6

"Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Gen.9.6

"Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

Gen.9.10

along with everything alive around you--birds, farm animals, wild animals--that came out of the ship with you.

Gen.9.10

and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-every living creature on earth.

Gen.9.10

and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.

Gen.9.10

and with the animals you brought with you--all these birds and livestock and wild animals.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

Gen.9.14

From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud,

Gen.9.14

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

Gen.9.14

It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

Gen.9.14

When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the clouds,

Gen.9.15

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Gen.9.15

I'll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life.

Gen.9.15

I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Gen.9.15

and I will remember my covenant with you and with everything that lives. Never again will there be a flood that will destroy all life.

Gen.9.16

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

Gen.9.16

When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I'll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth."
