【释义】：

和平鸽与橄榄枝；(喻)和平的象征

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the

window of the ark which he had made:

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground:

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

And he stayed yet other seven days: and again he set forth the dove out of the ark:

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

Gen.8.6-12

过了四十天，挪亚开了方舟的窗户，

放出一只乌鸦去。

那乌鸦飞来飞去，直到地上的水都干了。

他又放出一只鸽子去，要看看水从地上退了没有。

但遍地上都是水，鸽子找不着落脚之地，就回到方舟挪亚那里，挪亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟来。

他又等了七天，再把鸽子从方舟放出去。

到了晚上，鸽子回到他那里，嘴里叼着一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子，挪亚就知道地上的水退了。

他又等了七天，放出鸽子去，鸽子就不再回来了。
