And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth {was} an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. {While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first {month}, the first {day} of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart {is} evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. {a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. {thee: Heb. thy face}
