Genesis 8:8-11 And he sent forth a dove from him,––to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ And he sent forth a dove from him,––to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground; ⁹ but the dove found no resting–place for the sole of her foot, so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark. ¹⁰ Then stayed he yet seven days more,––and, again, sent forth the dove, out of the ark. ¹¹ And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive–leaf, in her mouth,––so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.
