Genesis 8:7 in Context — Genesis 8

5 Y las aguas fueron decreciendo hasta el mes décimo: en el décimo, al primero del mes, se descubrieron las cimas de los montes.

6 Y sucedió que, al cabo de cuarenta días, abrió Noé la ventana del arca que había hecho,

7 Y envió al cuervo, el cual salió, [y estuvo] yendo y tornando hasta que las aguas se secaron de sobre la tierra.

8 Envió también de sí á la paloma, para ver si las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la faz de la tierra;

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.
