Genesis 8:14

12 And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15 Then God said to Noah,

16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
