Genesis 8:6-12
Noah Sends a Raven and a Dove

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

6:

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

7:

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

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.

9:

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

10:

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.

11:

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

12:
