7and he sent out a raven, and it 1flew here and there until the water was dried up 2from the earth.

8Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land;

9but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the 1surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself.

and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.

It returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole earth. He reached out and brought it into the ark to himself.

NLTNew Living Translation

and released a raven. The bird flew back and forth until the floodwaters on the earth had dried up. He also released a dove to see if the water had receded and it could find dry ground.

And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
