Genesis 8:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
In context
5 And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
9 But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.
