The LORD smelled the sacrifice and it pleased him. The LORD said to himself, ‘I will never curse the ground again because of the bad things that people do. From the time that they are children, they want to do bad things. But I will never again destroy everything that breathes, as I have done this time. As long as the earth continues to be here, the time for people to plant seeds will come each year. The time for harvest will come each year. Times of cold and heat will always come. Summer and winter will always come. Day and night will never stop.’

Then Noah built an altar to make sacrifices to the LORD. He took one from each kind of clean animal and clean bird. He offered them to the LORD as sacrifices which he burned on the altar.

Then God thought of Noah and all the animals that were with him in the ship. He caused a wind to blow over the earth. As a result, the water began to go down.

The dove returned to Noah in the evening. It carried a fresh leaf from an olive tree in its mouth. Then Noah knew that the water had gone down.
