In the Genesis Flood account, Noah sent out a dove after the raven.
Genesis 8:7 says Noah first sent a raven, which went back and forth until the waters dried up. He then sent a dove to learn whether the waters had receded from the ground. The dove initially found nowhere to rest and returned to the ark.
Noah sent the dove again seven days later, and it returned with a freshly plucked olive leaf. After another seven days, he sent it out once more, and it did not return. The dove’s later journeys therefore provide signs of changing conditions, but the first bird sent was the raven.
This sequence is distinct from the separate question of which bird returned with an olive leaf. The Genesis account includes both birds, in that order, as part of Noah’s effort to determine whether the land was becoming habitable.
