Vayisachru mayenot tehom va'arubot hashamayim vayikale hageshem min-hashamayim.

וַיִּסָּֽכְרוּ֙ מַעְיְנֹ֣ת תְּה֔וֹם וַֽאֲרֻבֹּ֖ת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַיִּכָּלֵ֥א הַגֶּ֖שֶׁם מִן־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃

Vayashuvu hamayim me'al ha'arets haloch vashov vayachseru hamayim miktseh chamishim ume'at yom.

וַיָּשֻׁ֧בוּ הַמַּ֛יִם מֵעַ֥ל הָאָ֖רֶץ הָל֣וֹךְ וָשׁ֑וֹב וַיַּחְסְר֣וּ הַמַּ֔יִם מִקְצֵ֕ה חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים וּמְאַ֖ת יֽוֹם׃

8:7

He sent out the raven, and it departed. It went back and forth until the water had dried up from the land's surface.

8:8

He then sent out the dove to see if the water had subsided from the land's surface. 
Vayeshalach et-hayonah me'ito lir'ot hakalu hamayim me'al peney ha'adamah.

וַיְשַׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־הַיּוֹנָ֖ה מֵאִתּ֑וֹ לִרְאוֹת֙ הֲקַ֣לּוּ הַמַּ֔יִם מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃

The dove could not find any place to rest its feet, and it returned to him, to the ark. There was still water over all the earth's surface. [Noah] stretched out his hand, and brought it to him in the ark. 
Velo-mats'ah hayonah manoach lechaf-raglah vatashov elav el-hatevah ki mayim al-peney chol-ha'arets vayishlach yado vayikacheha vayaveh otah elav el-hatevah.
