Genesis 8:10
“He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.”
Verse in context — Genesis 8
He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.
