Genesis 8:12

Read in context

Genesis 8:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11 And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

12 And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.
