Then he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had subsided. Because the dove found nowhere to rest, she returned to the ark. In the seventh
month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. For the waters were still on the entire surface
of the earth. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.

Noah waited yet another seven days and again he sent the dove out of the ark. The dove came back to him at evening. She had plucked an
olive leaf and brought it in her mouth. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.

But Noah waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove. She did not return to him again.
