The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 8

1: And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;

2: The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

3: And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

4: And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

5: And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

6: And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

7: And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

8: Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

9: But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of thewhole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

10: And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

11: And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

12: And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

13: And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of themonth, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed thecovering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground wasdry.

14: And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

15: And God spake unto Noah, saying,

16: Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

17: Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

18: And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

19: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

20: And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21: And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more forman's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neitherwill I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
