He released a raven, which came and went for a while, perhaps perching on the ark between flights; then Noah released a dove, which kept returning to him until it finally found a place to roost. ​ — Genesis 7: 24 – 8: 13.
Ia melepaskan seekor gagak besar, yang terbang kian kemari dan mungkin sesekali hinggap di bahtera untuk beristirahat; kemudian Nuh melepaskan seekor merpati, yang beberapa kali pulang ke Nuh sampai akhirnya menemukan tempat bertengger. ​ — Kejadian 7: 24 – 8: 13.
