And when YAHWEH smelled the sweet fragrance of Noah’s offerings, his heart was stirred, and he said, “Never again will I curse the earth because of people, even though the imagination of their hearts are evil from their childhood; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. I promise this: “As long as earth exists there will always be seasons of planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

Noah erected an altar dedicated to YAHWEH. Then he selected ritually clean animals and birds of every species and offered them as burnt sacrifices on the altar.

God’s heart was moved with compassion as he remembered Noah and all the animals, large and small, that were with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to sweep across the earth again and the waters subsided.

Before evening, the dove came back to him—and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! So Noah realized that the waters had finally subsided from the earth.
