8:1 Waiting for the land to dry

8Then God considered Noah and and all the living things and all the livestock that were with him in the floating chest, and he caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters started to subside 2and the underwater geysers and the rain was stopped. 3Then the water steadily receded from the earth and after five months the water had gone down enough 4that by October the wooden chest was left sitting on one of the Ararat mountains. 5The water continued to recede until December when the tops of the mountains became visible.

6Then after another forty days, Noah opened a window near the top of the chest 7and he released a raven which kept flying out and returning until the land started to dry out. 8Then Noah also released a dove to see if the land was really out of the water, 9but the dove didn’t find anywhere to land so it returned to the window because the surface of the earth was still wet, and he stretched out his arm and brought the dove back inside. 10Noah waited another week and then he released the dove again 11and it returned to him in the evening and wow, it had a fresh, green olive leaf in its beak. So now Noah knew that the land was out of the water. 12Then he waited another week, and released the dove again, but this time it didn’t come back to him.

13So it was when Noah was 601 years old (in the month of WHAT MONTH on the first day of the Jewish new year) the land was still drying out. So Noah made an opening in the top of the wooden chest and saw that the land surface there was almost dry. 14By the end of the next month, the land was fully dry.

15Then God said to Noah, 16“Leave the wooden chest along with your sons and each of your wives. 17Take out all the living creatures that are with you, including the birds and livestock, and everything that crawls (CHECK FOR WORD CONSISTENCY) on the ground, so that they’ll proliferate and increase their numbers all over the earth. 18So Noah went outside, along with his sons and each of their wives. 19Every living creature, every crawling thing and every bird, everything moving on the earth, went outside kind by kind.

8And_remembered god DOM Noaḩ and_DOM every the_living and_DOM all the_cattle/livestock which with_him/it in/on/at/with_ark and_blow god a_wind over the_earth/land and_subsided the_waters.

8:20 Noah’s sacrifice and Yahweh’s promise

20Then Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and he took some of every kind of clean animal and every kind of clean bird, and he offered them as burnt offerings on the altar. 21When Yahweh smelt the pleasant aroma, he said to himself, “I’ll never curse the ground because of humankind again, even though the humankind’s hearts are inclined from their youth to do evil things. And I’ll never again destroy every living thing again like I’ve just done.

22As long as the earth continues to exist,

seedtime and harvest time,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night,

will never stop happening.

20And_he/it_built Noaḩ an_altar to/for_YHWH and_he/it_took from_all the_cattle/livestock the_clean and_from_all the_bird the_clean and_he/it_ascended burnt_offerings in/on/at/with_altar.
21And_smelled YHWH DOM the_odor the_pleasing and_he/it_said YHWH to his/its_heart not I_will_repeat to_curse again DOM the_soil in_account_of the_humankind if/because the_inclination of_the_heart the_humankind [is]_evil from_youth_his and_not I_will_repeat again to_destroy DOM every living_[thing] just_as I_have_done.
22Again all the_days the_earth/land seed and_harvest and_cold and_heat and_summer and_winter and_day and_night not they_will_cease.
