Genesis 8:7 in Context — Genesis 8

5 E as águas foram decrescendo até o mês décimo: no décimo, ao primeiro dia do mês, se revelaram os cumes dos montes.

6 E sucedeu que, ao fim de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janela da arca que havia feito,

7 E enviou ao corvo, o qual saiu, e esteve indo e voltando até que as águas se secaram de sobre a terra.

8 Enviou também de si à pomba, para ver se as águas se haviam retirado de sobre a face da terra;

9 E não achou a pomba onde sentar a planta de seu pé, e voltou-se a ele à arca, porque as águas estavam ainda sobre a face de toda a terra: então ele estendeu sua mão e recolhendo-a, a fez entrar consigo na arca.
