Elohim remembered Noach, and all the beasts and all the animals that were with him in the ark. Elohim caused a wind to blow over the earth and the water subsided.

The wellsprings of the deep were closed, and [so were] the windows of the heavens, and the downpour from the heavens was withheld.

The water receded from the earth continually, and the waters diminished at the end of one hundred and fifty days.

The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat [Kardu].

The waters continued to diminish until the tenth month. In the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the mountaintops became visible.

At the end of forty days, Noach opened the window of the ark which he had made.

He sent out the raven, and it went out, going to and fro until the water on the land dried up.

He [then] sent the dove to see if the water had subsided from the surface of the ground.

The dove found no [place to] rest her foot. She returned to him into the ark, for the water was upon the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand and took her and brought her to him, into the ark.

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

The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, [lying] in her mouth was a torn off olive leaf. Noach knew then that the water had subsided from the earth.

He waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove; it did not return to him again.

It was in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the water on earth [began] to dry. Noach removed the covering of the ark. He looked and behold the surface of the ground had dried.

In the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was [completely] dry.

Elohim spoke to [with] Noach, saying,

Depart from the ark, yourself and your wife, your sons, and your son’s wives with you.

Every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, [including] birds, animals, every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, let them depart with you. Let them spread over the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

Noach departed [from the ark together with] his sons, his wife and son’s wives.

Every living thing, every creeping creature, every bird, everything that creeps on the earth, departed from the ark according to their families.

Noach built an altar to [before] Adonoy, and took of every [ritually] clean animal and of every [ritually] clean bird, and brought up burnt-offerings on the altar.

Adonoy smelled the pleasing fragrance, [Adonoy accepted his offering with favor] and Adonoy said in His heart [with his Word], Never again will I curse the ground because of [the sins of] man, for the inclination of man’s heart is evil from [the time of] his youth. I will never again smite every living thing as I have done.

So long as the earth exists, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never be suspended.
