Genesis 8

1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

וַיִּזְכֹּר אֱלֹהִים אֶת־נֹחַ וְאֵת כָּל־הַחַיָּה וְאֶת־כָּל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו בַּתֵּבָה וַיַּעֲבֵר אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ עַל־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּשֹׁכּוּ הַמָּיִם׃ (4525)

2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

וַיִּסָּכְרוּ מַעְיְנֹת תְּהֹום וַאֲרֻבֹּת הַשָּׁמָיִם וַיִּכָּלֵא הַגֶּשֶׁם מִן־הַשָּׁמָיִם׃ (3227)

3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

וַיָּשֻׁבוּ הַמַּיִם מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ הָלֹוךְ וָשֹׁוב וַיַּחְסְרוּ הַמַּיִם מִקְצֵה חֲמִשִּׁים וּמְאַת יֹום׃ (2751)

4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

וַתָּנַח הַתֵּבָה בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּשִׁבְעָה־עָשָׂר יֹום לַחֹדֶשׁ עַל הָרֵי אֲרָרָט׃ (3659)

See also: Isaiah 37:38, Jeremiah 51:27, 2 Kings 19:37, Genesis 7:17-19, 1 Samuel 25:9

5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

וְהַמַּיִם הָיוּ הָלֹוךְ וְחָסֹור עַד הַחֹדֶשׁ הָעֲשִׂירִי בָּעֲשִׂירִי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ נִרְאוּ רָאשֵׁי הֶהָרִים׃ (3426)

See also: Psalms 104:8

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

וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים יֹום וַיִּפְתַּח נֹחַ אֶת־חַלֹּון הַתֵּבָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה׃ (2985)

See also: Genesis 6:16, Daniel 6:10

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

וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעֹרֵב וַיֵּצֵא יָצֹוא וָשֹׁוב עַד־יְבֹשֶׁת הַמַּיִם מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ׃ (2877)

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

וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הַיֹּונָה מֵאִתֹּו לִרְאֹות הֲקַלּוּ הַמַּיִם מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה׃ (2486)

9But 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.

וְלֹא־מָצְאָה הַיֹּונָה מָנֹוחַ לְכַף־רַגְלָהּ וַתָּשָׁב אֵלָיו אֶל־הַתֵּבָה כִּי־מַיִם עַל־פְּנֵי כָל־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּשְׁלַח יָדֹו וַיִּקָּחֶהָ וַיָּבֵא אֹתָהּ אֵלָיו אֶל־הַתֵּבָה׃ (4043)

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

וַיָּחֶל עֹוד שִׁבְעַת יָמִים אֲחֵרִים וַיֹּסֶף שַׁלַּח אֶת־הַיֹּונָה מִן־הַתֵּבָה׃ (2738)

11And 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.

וַתָּבֹא אֵלָיו הַיֹּונָה לְעֵת עֶרֶב וְהִנֵּה עֲלֵה־זַיִת טָרָף בְּפִיהָ וַיֵּדַע נֹחַ כִּי־קַלּוּ הַמַּיִם מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ׃ (3123)

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

13And 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.

וַיְהִי בְּאַחַת וְשֵׁשׁ־מֵאֹות שָׁנָה בָּרִאשֹׁון בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ חָרְבוּ הַמַּיִם מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ וַיָּסַר נֹחַ אֶת־מִכְסֵה הַתֵּבָה וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה חָרְבוּ פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה׃ (5479)

17Bring 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.

כָּל־הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר־אִתְּךָ מִכָּל־בָּשָׂר בָּעֹוף וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל־הָרֶמֶשׂ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל־הָאָרֶץ [הֹוצֵא כ] (הַיְצֵא ק) אִתָּךְ וְשָׁרְצוּ בָאָרֶץ וּפָרוּ וְרָבוּ עַל־הָאָרֶץ׃ (5900)

21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

וַיָּרַח יְהוָה אֶת־רֵיחַ הַנִּיחֹחַ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־לִבֹּו לֹא־אֹסִף לְקַלֵּל עֹוד אֶת־הָאֲדָמָה בַּעֲבוּר הָאָדָם כִּי יֵצֶר לֵב הָאָדָם רַע מִנְּעֻרָיו וְלֹא־אֹסִף עֹוד לְהַכֹּות אֶת־כָּל־חַי כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי׃ (6087)

22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

עֹד כָּל־יְמֵי הָאָרֶץ זֶרַע וְקָצִיר וְקֹר וָחֹם וְקַיִץ וָחֹרֶף וְיֹום וָלַיְלָה לֹא יִשְׁבֹּתוּ׃ (2915)
