Genesis 8

vayyizkor elohim et-noakh ve'et kol-hakhayyah ve'et-kol-habbehemah asher itto battevah vayya'aver elohim ruakh al-ha'arets vayyashokku hammayim

God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark, and God caused a wind to blow across the earth, and the waters subsided.

vayyissakheru mayenot tehom va'arubbot hashamayim vayyikkale haggeshem min-hashamayim

The fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were stopped up, and the rain from the sky was held back;

vayyashuvu hammayim me'al ha'arets halokh vashov vayyakhseru hammayim miqtseh khamishim ume'at yom

the waters then receded steadily from the earth. At the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters diminished,

vattanakh hattevah bakhodesh hashevi'i beshivah-asar yom lakhodesh al hare ararat

so that in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

vehammayim hayu halokh vekhasor ad hakhodesh ha'asiri ba'asiri be'ekhad lakhodesh niru rashe heharim

The waters went on diminishing until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.

vayehi miqqets arba'im yom vayyiftakh noakh et-khallon hattevah asher asah

At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made

vayeshallakh et-ha'orev vayyetse yatso vashov ad-yevoshet hammayim me'al ha'arets

and sent out the raven; it went to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.

vayeshallakh et-hayyonah me'itto lirot haqallu hammayim me'al pene ha'adamah

Then he sent out the dove to see whether the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground.

velo-matse'ah hayyonah manoakh lekhaf-raglah vattashov elayw el-hattevah ki-mayim al-pene khol-ha'arets vayyishlakh yado vayyiqqakheha vayyave otah elayw el-hattevah

But the dove could not find a resting place for its foot, and returned to him to the ark, for there was water over all the earth. So putting out his hand, he took it into the ark with him.

vayyakhel od shivat yamim akherim vayyosef shallakh et-hayyonah min-hattevah

He waited another seven days, and again sent out the dove from the ark.

vattavo elayw hayyonah le'et erev vehinneh aleh-zayit taraf befiha vayyeda noakh ki-qallu hammayim me'al ha'arets

The dove came back to him toward evening, and there in its bill was a plucked-off olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the waters had decreased on the earth.

vayyiyyakhel od shivat yamim akherim vayeshallakh et-hayyonah velo-yasefah shuv-elayw od

He waited still another seven days and sent the dove forth; and it did not return to him anymore.

vayehi be'akhat veshesh-me'ot shanah barishon be'ekhad lakhodesh khorvu hammayim me'al ha'arets vayyasar noakh et-mikhseh hattevah vayyar vehinneh khorvu pene ha'adamah

In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the waters began to dry from the earth; and when Noah removed the covering of the ark, he saw that the surface of the ground was drying.

uvakhodesh hasheni beshivah ve'esrim yom lakhodesh yaveshah ha'arets

And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

vayedabber elohim el-noakh lemor

God spoke to Noah, saying,

tse min-hattevah attah ve'ishtekha uvanekha uneshe-vanekha ittakh

“Come out of the ark, together with your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives.

kol-hakhayyah asher-ittekha mikkol-basar ba'of uvabbehemah uvekhol-haremes haromes al-ha'arets (hvts) [hayetse] ittakh vesharetsu va'arets ufaru veravu al-ha'arets

Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds, animals, and everything that creeps on earth; and let them swarm on the earth and be fertile and increase on earth.”

vayyetse-noakh uvanayw ve'ishto uneshe-vanayw itto

So Noah came out, together with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives.

kol-hakhayyah kol-haremes vekhol-ha'of kol romes al-ha'arets lemishpekhotehem yatse'u min-hattevah

Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that stirs on earth came out of the ark by families.

vayyiven noakh mizbeakh la-Adonai vayyiqqakh mikkol habbehemah hattehorah umikkol ha'of hattahor vayya'al olot bammizbeakh

Then Noah built an altar to GOD and, taking of every pure animal and of every pure bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

vayyarakh Adonai et-reakh hannikhoakh vayyomer Adonai el-libbo lo-osif leqallel od et-ha'adamah ba'avur ha'adam ki yetser lev ha'adam ra minne'urayw velo-osif od lehakkot et-kol-khay ka'asher asiti

GOD smelled the pleasing odor, and GOD resolved: “Never again will I doom the earth because of humankind, since the devisings of the human mind are evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living being, as I have done.

od kol-yeme ha'arets zera veqatsir veqor vakhom veqayits vakhoref veyom valaylah lo yishbotu

So long as the earth endures, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Summer and winter, Day and night Shall not cease.”
