To see if there was dry ground
- After sending out a raven, Noah sent out a dove to see if there was dry ground, which we read the account of in Genesis 8:6–12. But it came back having found nowhere to perch. After seven days, Noah sent it back out, and it came back with a fresh olive leaf in its mouth, and Noah knew the ground was drying.
