Genesis 8:8-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.

⁹ But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.

¹⁰ And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

¹¹ And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.

¹² And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
