Genesis 8, the Flood Ends, 2 translationa and a paraphrase

GENESIS Chapter 8, the Flood Ends

1 Then remembered God Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him on the coffer. And caused to pass God a wind over the earth, and the waters subsided.
~ 2 And shut up the wells of the deep and the holes of the skies were shut up, and the rain from the skies was restricted.
3 And turned back the waters from the earth going and retreating; and diminished the waters at the end of fifty and a hundred days.
4 Then rested the coffer in the seventh on the seventeenth day of the new moon, on the hills of Ararat.
5 And the waters were going and falling until the new moon tenth; in the tenth on the first of the new moon, were seen the head of the hills.
6 So it was at the end of forty days and opened Noah the window of the coffer which he had brought forth;
7 And sent he out the raven, and it went out, going out and returning until were dried up the waters from off the earth.
8 And he sent out a dove from him, to see if had lightened the waters from off the face of the earth;
9 and not found the dove rest for the sole of its foot, and it returned to him into the coffer, for the waters on the face of all the earth; And he put out his hand, and took it, and brought it to him into the coffer.
10 And he writhed yet seven days next, and again sent the dove out of the coffer.
11 And came to him the dove at the time of dusk, and behold, an olive leaf torn off in its mouth; so knew Noah that were lightened the waters from off the earth.
~ 12 So he waited yet seven days next and sent out the dove and not did it continually return to him again.
13 And it was in the one and six hundred year, in the beginning, on the one of the new moon, were dried up the waters from off the earth; and removed Noah the covering of the coffer, and he saw, and behold, was dried the face of the earth.
14 And in the new moon second, on the seventh-twenty day of the new moon, was dry the earth.
15 And spoke God to Noah, saying,
16 Go out of the coffer, you and your woman, and your sons, and the women of your sons with you.
17 Every living thing that with you of all flesh, of flying creatures and cattle and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, bring out with you, and let them swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and be many on the earth.
18 And went out Noah, and his sons and his woman, and women his sons with him.
19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, every flying creature, all which creeps upon the earth according to their families, went out of the coffer.
20 Then built Noah an altar to Jehovah, and took of every animal clean and of every flying creature clean, to ascend as burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And smelled Jehovah the fragrance soothing. And Jehovah said in His heart, Not I will continue to treat lightly again the soil because of the man, for the form of the heart of man is evil from his youth; and not will I again strike of every living creature as I have done,
22 While all the days of the earth, seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.

1 Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the four footed creatures that were with him on the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to decrease.
2 Also the wells of the great deep and the gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from the heavens was held back.
3 And the waters decreased from off the earth steadily; and the waters diminished after the end of a hundred and fifty days.
~ 4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the hills of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month on the first of the month, were the tops of the hills seen.
6 So it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark he had made;
~ 7 He sent forth a raven, which went to and fro until the waters had dried up from off the earth.
~ 8 Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters were decreased from off the surface of the earth;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of its foot, and it returned to the ark to him, for the waters were still on the surface of the earth; then he put forth his hand, and took it, and pulled it to him into the ark.
10 He waited yet another seven days, and again sent the dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove returned to him in the evening, and behold, in its mouth was a freshly picked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters were decreased from off the earth.
12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove which did not return again to him.
~ 13 And it came to pass that in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up on the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Then God spoke to Noah saying,
16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may be abundant on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, every winged creature, and whatever creeps on the earth according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered a burnt offering on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a soothing fragrance. Then the Lord said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of the man, although the thoughts of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again punish of every living creature as I have done,
~ 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.

1 And the Lord remembered Noah and every living thing, of all the animals that were with him on the ark; and He made a wind to pass over the earth and the waters decreased.
~ 2 The wells of the seas and the floodgates of the heavens stopped, and the rains from the heavens were held back.
3 The waters steadily decreased and after 150 days the waters were down.
~ ~ 4 And the ark rested on the 17th day of the 7th month on the hills of Ararat.
~ 5 The waters went steadily down until the first of the tenth month and the tops of the hills appeared.
~~ 6 And then at the end of 40 days Noah opened the skylight of the ark.
~ 7 He set loose a raven which flew around until the waters dried up.
~ ~ 8 Also he set free a dove to see if the waters were gone,
~~ 9 but the dove didn't land and returned to the ark since the waters were still there; so Noah took it and put it back in the ark.
~~ ~ 10 He waited another seven days and set the dove loose again.
~ 11 The dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly picked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters were down.
~~ 12 He waited another seven days and again set the dove loose and it did not return to him.
~ 13 And then in year 601, the first of the first month, the waters were down and Noah removed the cover on the ark, and looked, and behold, the ground was dry.
~ ~~ 14 On the 27th day of the second month the earth was dried.
~ 15 And God spoke to Noah, saying
16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 Take all the living creatures, birds, cattle and creeping things; so that they may be many on the earth, to be fruitful and multiply.
~ ~~ 18 And Noah went out with his wife, his sons, and their wives.
~ 19 Every wild creature, creeping things and birds went out of the ark.
~ ~ 20 And Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of the clean animals and birds and prepared a burnt offering.
~ 21 And the Lord smelled the pleasant fragrance, and said in His heart, I will not continue to curse the ground because of mankind; even though from his youth he has bad thoughts in his mind; and I will not again punish of every living thing as I have done.
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not fail.
