THE PARADE OF ANIMALS
Genesis 8:1-19
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the
cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass
over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 2 The fountains also of
the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from
heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the
earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days
the waters were abated. 4 And the ark rested in the seventh
month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of
Ararat. 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth
month: in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were
the tops of the mountains seen. 6 And it came to pass at the end
of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had
made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,
until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent
forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off
the face of the ground; 9 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.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
the dove out of the ark; 11 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. 12 And
he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which
returned not again unto him any more. 13 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. 14 And in the second month, on
the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15
And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou,
and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with thee, of
all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly
in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every
fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds,
went forth out of the ark.
