But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind… over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

But the dove found no place to rest her foot…, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters [were still] covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand… and brought her back inside the ark.
