Bible Verses About Turtle Dove

He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.

The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
