At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.
Genesis 8:6-8 English Standard Version
I wonder why Noah sent out a raven first, and not the dove. Or if something the raven did made him change his mind and pick the dove. The poor dove now gets all the glory in this story. Maybe I should paint a painting of Noah with a raven and give that poor bird his due!
