Genesis 8:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ and sent out a raven. It went back and forth as the flood water continued to evaporate throughout the earth. ⁸ Later, he sent a dove out from the ark^[a] to see whether the water that covered the land’s surface had completely^[b] receded, ⁹ but the dove could not yet find a place to rest,^[c] so it returned to Noah^[d] on the ark, since water still covered the land. Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back^[e] into the ark with him.
