1. 10He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
2. 11The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
3. 12He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

5. 14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
