|
|Now [[God]] still remembered [[Noah]], and every living creature, and all the livestock that was with him in the [[Noah's Ark|ark]]. So God sent a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters receded.

The [[Hebrew]] '''אררט''' (''ararat'') is the name of a mountain range in eastern [[Armenia]], not necessarily including the "[[Mount Ararat]]" in [[Turkey (country)|Turkey]].

|But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
|
|The dove found no place to alight, so it few back to him into the ark, because the waters still covered all the ground. Noah held out his hand, took the dove, and pulled it in to him into the ark.

|The dove came back to him that evening, but, to Noah's delighted surprise, it had an [[olive]] leaf plucked off in its beak. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down significantly.

|And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
|
|Then Noah built an altar to the L<small>ORD</small>. He took specimens of every clean land animal, and every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
|
|The [[Hebrew]] '''עלה''' (''olah'') describes this specific kind of offering. The word also connotes a climbing of stairs and reflects the need to "step up" to the altar. This is also why Noah took seven clean-animal specimens of each kind, rather than the usual two.

|
|The L<small>ORD</small> smelled a soothing odor, and the L<small>ORD</small> said in His heart, "Never again will I curse the ground on account of mankind, because the imagination of man's heart is evil starting in his childhood. Nor will I ever again kill every living thing, as I have done.
