God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.
God called the dry ground "land" and the gathered waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.
The flood engulfed the earth for forty days. As the waters increased, they lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.
The waters completely overwhelmed the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
The waters completely inundated the earth so that even all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.
The waters rose more than twenty feet above the mountains.
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and domestic animals that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to blow over the earth and the waters receded.
The waters kept receding steadily from the earth, so that they had gone down by the end of the 150 days.
The waters kept on receding until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
and sent out a raven; it kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up on the earth.
Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
When the dove returned to him in the evening, there was a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak! Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
In Noah's six hundred and first year, in the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth, and Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
I confirm my covenant with you: Never again will all living things be wiped out by the waters of a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth."
then I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures of all kinds. Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy all living things.
