Muli siyang sumukat ng isang libo, at iyon ay isang ilog na hindi ko na matawid, sapagkat tumaas ang tubig, tubig na kailangang languyin, isang ilog na hindi matatawid.
Rashi
for the water was so high [Heb. גָאוּ,lit. became haughty,] like גָדְלוּ, became large.
Rashi
water for swimming [Heb. שָׂחוּ,] noer in O.F., to swim, water that one must swim in and not cross by foot lest it overpower him. שָׂחוּ means swimming, like (Isa. 25:11): “as the swimmer spreads out [his hands] to swim הַשׂחֶה לִשְׂחוֹת.”
