The water receding
Read the full text in our reader
καὶ ἐνεδίδου τὸ ὕδωρ πορευόμενον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· ἐνεδίδου τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἠλαττονοῦτο μετὰ πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας.
Swete's text repeats “the water receded”, ἐνεδίδου τὸ ὕδωρ, twice running — Swete's own apparatus flags the spot: some manuscripts (D, E) read the shorter, non-repeating clause. The frozen text below keeps the repetition, an authentic reading rather than an editorial slip. πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν, “fifty and a hundred” (i.e. one hundred fifty), gives the flood's total duration to this point (cf. Gen 7:24).
