Genesis 8:11

And the dove came back to him in the evening , and behold , in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf . So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth .

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

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