Genesis 8:11 in Context — Genesis 8
9 Y no halló la paloma donde sentar la planta de su pie, y volvióse á él al arca, porque las aguas estaban [aún] sobre la faz de toda la tierra: entonces él extendió su mano, y cogiéndola, hízola entrar consigo en el arca.
10 Y esperó aún otros siete días, y volvió á enviar la paloma fuera del arca.
11 Y la paloma volvió á él á la hora de la tarde; y he aquí [que traía] una hoja de oliva tomada en su pico: y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la tierra.
12 Y esperó aún otros siete días, y envió la paloma, la cual no volvió ya más á él.
13 Y sucedió que en el año seiscientos y uno [de Noé], en el mes primero, al primero del mes, las aguas se enjugaron de sobre la tierra; y quitó Noé la cubierta del arca, y miró, y he aquí que la faz de la tierra estaba enjuta.
