Gn 8:6-12 (Darby)

   ⁶ Et il arriva, au bout de quarante jours, que Noé ouvrit la fenêtre de l'arche qu'il avait faite ; ⁷ et il lâcha le corbeau, qui sortit, allant et revenant jusqu'à ce que les eaux eussent séché de dessus la terre. ⁸ Et il lâcha d'avec lui la colombe, pour voir si les eaux avaient baissé sur la face du sol ; ⁹ mais la colombe ne trouva pas où poser la plante de son pied, et revint à lui dans l'arche, car les eaux étaient sur la face de toute la terre ; et il étendit sa main, et la prit, et la fit entrer auprès de lui dans l'arche. ¹⁰ Et il attendit encore sept autres jours, et il lâcha de nouveau la colombe hors de l'arche. ¹¹ Et la colombe vint à lui au temps du soir, et voici, dans son bec, une feuille d'olivier arrachée. Et Noé sut que les eaux avaient baissé sur la terre. ¹² Et il attendit encore sept autres jours, et il lâcha la colombe, et elle ne revint plus de nouveau vers lui.

Gn 8:6-12 (King James)

   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 the whole 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 pluckt 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.
