Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the ^(C1)window of the ark which he had made;

and he sent out a raven, and it ^(F1)flew here and there until the water was dried up ^(F2)from the earth.

Then he sent out a ^(F1)dove, to see if the water was low on the ^(F2)surface of the land;

but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him in the ark, for the water was on the ^(F1)surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took it, and brought it into the ark to himself.

So he waited another seven days longer; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.

And the dove came to him in ^(F1)the evening, and behold, in its ^(F2)beak was a fresh olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was low on the earth.

Then he waited another seven days longer, and sent out ^(C1)the dove; but it did not return to him again.
