Genesis 8 · Grade 3
God Remembered Noah
Read the Story
The flood was very long, but God had not forgotten anyone in the ark. God remembered Noah and the animals, and He made a wind blow over the earth. The waters began to go down. The ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, and later the tops of other mountains could be seen.
Noah opened a window and sent out a raven, which flew back and forth. Then he sent out a dove, but it found no place to rest and returned. Seven days later he sent the dove again, and it returned with a freshly plucked olive leaf. Seven days after that, he sent the dove once more, and it did not come back.
When the ground was dry, God told Noah to come out with his family and the animals. Noah built an altar and offered sacrifices to the Lord. God promised that He would never again curse the ground or destroy every living thing as He had done, and that seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night would not cease.
