Genesis 7:18

Context
7:18 The waters completely overwhelmed 1  the earth, and the ark floated 2  on the surface of the waters.

1 tn Heb “and the waters were great and multiplied exceedingly.” The first verb in the sequence is וַיִּגְבְּרוּ (vayyigbÿru, from גָּבַר, gavar), meaning “to become great, mighty.” The waters did not merely rise; they “prevailed” over the earth, overwhelming it.

2 tn Heb “went.”
