Noah wanted to find out if the water had gone down, and he sent out a dove.
(SEE 8:6)
Deep water was still everywhere, and the dove could not find a place to land. So it flew back to the boat. Noah held out his hand and helped it back in.
My darling, you are lovely, so very lovely-- your eyes are those of a dove.
You are my dove hiding among the rocks on the side of a cliff. Let me see how lovely you are! Let me hear the sound of your melodious voice.
I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as innocent as doves.
