an <​And​> Lo! in her mouth an olive leaf (plucked off) so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the Earth. <​/​> <​23/​> And he stayed yet other seven days & sent forth a dove which returned not again unto him any more. <​/​> & And it came to <​24/​> pass in the Sixhundreth & 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 & looked & behold the face of the ground was dry. And in the second Month on the seven & twentieth day of the Month was the Earth dried. <​/​> And God spake unto Noah Saying, go forth 1 out of the ark, thou & thy wife, & they Sons & thy sons wives with thee. Bring forth with thee evry living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both of fowl, & of cattle, & of evry creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth; that they may breed abundantly in the Earth, & be fruitful & multiply upon the Earth. <​/​> And Noah went forth, & his sons, & his wife, & his sons <​2/​> wives with him. And evry beast, & evry creeping thing, & evry fowl, <​and whatsoever creepeth​> upon the Earth after their kind<​s​> went forth out of the ark. <​/​> And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord, & took of <​3/​> evry clean beast, & of evry clean fowl, & offered burnt offer ings on the altar; And gave thanks unto the Lord, & rejoiced in his heart. <​/​> And the Lord spake unto Noah, & he blessed him <​4/​> And Noah smelled a sweet saviour, & he said in his heart I will call on the name of the Lord that he will not again curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the imagination of mans heart is evil from his youth. And, that he will not again smite any more, evry thing living, as he hath done, while the Earth remaineth. And, that seed time & harvest, & cold & heat, & summer & winter, & day & night may not cease with man. <​/​> <​9:7​>
