7and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the surface of the ground,
9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ark; 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 ark.
10He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11The 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 off the earth.
12He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn`t return to him any more.
13It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.
