Open this scene in the reader →8Then he sent out the dove from him to see whether the waters had subsided from the surface of the ground.
9But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him, to the ark, because the waters were on the surface of all the earth. Then he stretched out his hand and took her and brought her to himself into the ark.
10Then he waited another seven days, and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11And the dove came to him at evening time, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.
12Then he waited another seven days, and sent out the dove, and it did not return to him again.
