Genesis 8 (WEBP)
[1] God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
[2] The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
[3] The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
[4] The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
[5] The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
[6] At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
[7] and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
[8] He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
[9] but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
[10] He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
[11] The 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.
[12] He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
[13] In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
[14] In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
[15] God spoke to Noah, saying,
[16] “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
[17] Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
[18] Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
[19] Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
[20] Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
[21] Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
[22] While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Genesis 8 (KJVS)
[1] And God H430 remembered H2142 (8799) Noah H5146, and every living thing H2416, and all the cattle H929 that [was] with him in the ark H8392: and God H430 made H5674 a wind H7307 to pass H5674 (8686) over H5921 the earth H776, and the waters H4325 asswaged H7918 (8799);
[2] The fountains H4599 also of the deep H8415 and the windows H699 of heaven H8064 were stopped H5534 (8735), and the rain H1653 from heaven H8064 was restrained H3607 (8735);
[3] And the waters H4325 returned H7725 (8799) from off the earth H776 continually H1980 (8800) H7725 (8800): and after the end H7097 of the hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 days H3117 the waters H4325 were abated H2637 (8799).
[4] And the ark H8392 rested H5117 (8799) in the seventh H7637 month H2320, on the seventeenth H6240 H7651 day H3117 of the month H2320, upon the mountains H2022 of Ararat H780.
[5] And the waters H4325 decreased H2637 (8800) continually H1980 (8800) until H5704 the tenth H6224 month H2320: in the tenth H6224 [month], on the first H259 [day] of the month H2320, were the tops H7218 of the mountains H2022 seen H7200 (8738).
[6] And it came to pass at the end H7093 of forty H705 days H3117, that Noah H5146 opened H6605 (8799) the window H2474 of the ark H8392 which he had made H6213 (8804):
[7] And he sent forth H7971 (8762) a raven H6158, which went forth H3318 (8799) to H3318 (8800) and fro H7725 (8800), until the waters H4325 were dried up H3001 (8800) from off the earth H776.
[8] Also he sent forth H7971 (8762) a dove H3123 from him, to see H7200 (8800) if the waters H4325 were abated H7043 (8804) from off the face H6440 of the ground H127;
[9] But the dove H3123 found H4672 (8804) no rest H4494 for the sole H3709 of her foot H7272, and she returned H7725 (8799) unto him into the ark H8392, for the waters H4325 [were] on the face H6440 of the whole earth H776: then he put forth H7971 (8799) his hand H3027, and took her H3947 (8799), and pulled her in H935 (8686) unto him into the ark H8392.
[10] And he stayed H2342 (8799) yet other H312 seven H7651 days H3117; and again H3254 (8686) he sent forth H7971 (8763) the dove H3123 out of the ark H8392;
[11] And the dove H3123 came in H935 (8799) to him in the evening H6256 H6153; and, lo, in her mouth H6310 [was] an olive H2132 leaf H5929 pluckt off H2965: so Noah H5146 knew H3045 (8799) that the waters H4325 were abated H7043 (8804) from off the earth H776.
[12] And he stayed H3176 (8735) yet other H312 seven H7651 days H3117; and sent forth H7971 (8762) the dove H3123; which returned H7725 (8800) not again H3254 (8804) unto him any more H5750.
[13] And it came to pass in the six H8337 hundredth H3967 and first year H8141, in the first H7223 [month], the first H259 [day] of the month H2320, the waters H4325 were dried up H2717 (8804) from off the earth H776: and Noah H5146 removed H5493 (8686) the covering H4372 of the ark H8392, and looked H7200 (8799), and, behold, the face H6440 of the ground H127 was dry H2717 (8804).
[14] And in the second H8145 month H2320, on the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the month H2320, was the earth H776 dried H3001 (8804).
[15] And God H430 spake H1696 (8762) unto Noah H5146, saying H559 (8800),
[16] Go forth H3318 (8798) of the ark H8392, thou, and thy wife H802, and thy sons H1121, and thy sons H1121’ wives H802 with thee.
[17] Bring forth H3318 (8685) with thee every living thing H2416 that [is] with thee, of all flesh H1320, [both] of fowl H5775, and of cattle H929, and of every creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 (8802) upon the earth H776; that they may breed abundantly H8317 (8804) in the earth H776, and be fruitful H6509 (8804), and multiply H7235 (8804) upon the earth H776.
[18] And Noah H5146 went forth H3318 (8799), and his sons H1121, and his wife H802, and his sons H1121’ wives H802 with him:
[19] Every beast H2416, every creeping thing H7431, and every fowl H5775, [and] whatsoever H3605 creepeth H7430 (8802) upon the earth H776, after their kinds H4940, went forth H3318 (8804) out of the ark H8392.
[20] And Noah H5146 builded H1129 (8799) an altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068; and took H3947 (8799) of every clean H2889 beast H929, and of every clean H2889 fowl H5775, and offered H5927 (8686) burnt offerings H5930 on the altar H4196.
[21] And the LORD H3068 smelled H7306 (8686) a sweet H5207 savour H7381; and the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) in H413 his heart H3820, I will not again H3254 (8686) curse H7043 (8763) the ground H127 any more for man’s H120 sake H5668; for the imagination H3336 of man’s H120 heart H3820 [is] evil H7451 from his youth H5271; neither will I again H3254 (8686) smite H5221 (8687) any more every thing living H2416, as I have done H6213 (8804).
[22] While the earth H776 remaineth H3117, seedtime H2233 and harvest H7105, and cold H7120 and heat H2527, and summer H7019 and winter H2779, and day H3117 and night H3915 shall not cease H7673 (8799).
Young’s Literal Translation
Genesis 8 (YLT)
[1] And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
[2] and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
[3] And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
[4] And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
[5] and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.
[6] And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
[7] and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.
[8] And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
[9] and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters are on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.
[10] And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;
[11] and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
[12] And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.
[13] And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.
[14] And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
[15] And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, ‘Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee;
[16] every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;
[17] and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.’
[18] And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;
[19] every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
[20] And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
[21] and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, ‘I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;
[22] during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.’
