Creation 8

8


Then God remembered
Noah and all the living things
That was with him in the ark

God passed over earth
the wind and water assuaged,
fountains of heaven stopped 

Rain from heaven stopped
After hundred fifty days
Water returned and abated

In seventh month, on
seventeenth day ark rested
on mountains of Ararat

Gradually decreased
the water and mountain’s top
seen on first day of tenth month

Forty days were passed
Noah opened window of ark
and he sent forth a raven

Sent a dove to see -
and went to and forth until
the water was dried from earth

The dove did not find
a place for rest of her foot
returned unto him in ark

After seven days
he sent the dove out again
who came back by evening

Dove came back plucked with
an olive leaf in her mouth  
Noah knew, waters were abated

After seven days
sent again but not returned
this time the dove onto him 

Water were dried in
six hundred first year’s first month 
Noah removed ark's covering 

God spoke unto Noah
go forth of the ark with your
wife, sons and also son’s wives

And bring forth with you 
all living things, fowls, cattle
and creeping things lived with you

So that they may breed
abundantly on the earth
and multiply on the earth

Noah built an alter
unto the lord and offered
burnt offerings, clean beast, fowl

Lord smelt sweet savour
said in his heart I will not
now curse the ground any more

Neither will I again
smite living things, any more  
for man’s sake or youth evil

While the earth remain
seed time, harvest, heat and cold
seasons, day, night shall not cease
