8:8 Then Noah 1  sent out a dove 2  to see if the waters had receded 3  from the surface of the ground.

Genesis 8:10

Context
8:10 He waited seven more days and then sent out the dove again from the ark.

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Noah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn The Hebrew text adds “from him.” This has not been translated for stylistic reasons, because it is redundant in English.

3 tn The Hebrew verb קָלָל (qalal) normally means “to be light, to be slight”; it refers here to the waters receding.
