NETBible

The waters kept receding steadily¹ from the earth, so that they² had gone down³ by the end of the 150 days.

NET Notes

¹tn The construction combines a Qal preterite from שׁוּב (shuv) with its infinitive absolute to indicate continuous action. The infinitive absolute from הָלָךְ (halakh) is included for emphasis: “the waters returned…going and returning.”

²tn Heb “the waters.” The pronoun (“they”) has been employed in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³tn The vav (ו) consecutive with the preterite here describes the consequence of the preceding action.
