Genesis 8 - bible study

 God remembered Noah and his family and the living things in the ark. God sent a wind and the waters receded. The rains stopped. After 150 days the water had gone down. The ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month. There was a window in the ark. 

🕊️ After 40 days Noah opened the window and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth. Then he sent out a dove. The dove returned as there was water on the surface of the earth. After seven days he sent the dove out. It returned with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. He sent out the dove after seven days and it didnot return.

When the earth's surface was dry God asked Noah and his family and all the living creatures to come out of the ark. Then Noah built an altar and sacrificed clean animals and birds on it. Then God said He would never again curse and destroy the earth as He had done.
