Genesis 8:8-12

Genesis 8:8-12

[8] Also he sent forth  a dove  from him, to see  if the waters  were abated  from off the face  of the ground;  [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.  [10] And he stayed  yet other  seven  days;  and again  he sent forth  the dove  out of the ark;  [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.  [12] And he stayed  yet other  seven  days;  and sent forth  the dove;  which returned  not again  unto him any more.
