ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૮:૧૧
કબૂતર ફરીને સાંજે તેની પાસે પાછું આવ્યું. તેની ચાંચમાં જૈતૂનવૃક્ષનું એક પાંદડું હતું. તેથી નૂહને સમજાયું કે પૃથ્વી પરથી પાણી ઓસર્યાં છે.

और कबूतरी साँझ के समय उसके पास आ गई, तो क्या देखा कि उसकी चोंच में जैतून का एक नया पत्ता है; इससे नूह ने जान लिया, कि जल पृथ्वी पर घट गया है।
