Genesis_Chapter 8

God remembers Noah and all the animals and livestock in Noah’s ark. God calls the wind to blow the earth, and the water gradually falls.

Yuanyuan and the windows in the sky have been closed, and the heavy rain in the sky has also stopped.

The water is gradually receding from the ground. After 150 days, the water gradually dissipated.

On July 17th, the ark stopped on Mount Ararat.

The water gradually dissipated again, and on the first day of October, the mountaintop appeared.

After forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark,

Release a crow. The crow flew back and forth until the water on the ground had dried up.

He released another pigeon to see if the water had receded from the ground.

But there was water all over the ground, and the dove couldn’t find a place to settle. So it returned to Noah in the ark, and Noah reached out and took the dove into the ark.

He waited for another seven days before releasing the pigeon from the ark.

At night, the dove returned to him, holding a freshly twisted olive leaf in its mouth, and Noah knew that the water on the ground had receded.

He waited for another seven days and released the dove, but it never returned.

At the age of six hundred and one, on the first day of the first month, all the water on the earth had dried up. Noah removed the cover of the ark and saw that the ground was dry.

On February 27th, the land was already dry.

God said to Noah,

You, your wife, son, and daughter-in-law can all go out of the ark.

Every living creature with flesh and blood among you, including birds, livestock, and all insects that crawl on the ground, shall be brought out, so that it may multiply and prosper greatly on the ground.

So Noah, his wife, son, and daughter-in-law all came out.

All beasts, insects, birds, and all animals on the earth, each according to their own kind, have also left the ark.

Noah built an altar for the Lord and offered all kinds of clean livestock and birds as burnt offerings on the altar.

When the Lord heard the fragrant aroma, he said in his heart, I will no longer curse the earth for the sake of men (who have evil thoughts in their hearts from a young age), nor will I destroy all living creatures according to what I have done.

When the land is still alive, farming, cold and summer, winter and summer, day and night will never cease.
