Genesis 8

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

⁹ But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.
