Genesis 8:13
And he is becoming in one and six hundred of a duplication, in the First-one,321 in one to the New-one, the Dual-Waters have been laid-desolate322 from upon the Earth; and Rest is causing to turn aside the covering of the Chest,323 and he is seeing, and behold, the faces of the Red-one have been laid-desolate.
And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And, behold! The face of the earth was dried.

Footnotes
| 321 | Strong’s #7223, rishon. With definite article. First, chief (in place, time or rank). Referring to the first month, but the word “month” is absent. The word “month” is implied by the word chodesh (Strong’s #2320) which means concretely new moon. See note on Genesis 8:5. |
| 322 | Strong’s #2717, חָרַב charab, to desolate, be laid waste. This is a much more serious word than to be dry. See yabesh (#3001) to be dry used in v.7 and 14. Translators interpret it as to dry because it is often found used in the context of the “water”. In other places the plain meaning is clear, “Jerusalem… she is laid-desolate [charab]” (Eze. 26:2), “the kings of Assyria have laid-desolate [charab] these nations and their lands” (2 Kin. 19:17), “desolate [charab] and utterly destroy after them, saith Yahweh” (Jer. 50:21), “the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid-desolate” (Amos 7:9), “From revolution to revolution she shall lie desolate, none shall pass through her forever and ever.” (Isa. 34:10), “Be appalled, O dual-heavens, at this-one; be shocked, be utterly desolate [charab], declares Yahweh” (Jer. 2:12). |
| 323 | Strong’s #4372, mikseh, covering. This is a different word than the previous Kopher covering on the inside and outside, but may be the same thing. The verb is the Hiphil form which is causative (made to turn aside, caused to turn aside). This is the word for the skins covering the tabernacle, Ex. 26:14, 35:11, 36:19, 39:34, and the coverings of the holy things in Numbers 4. There was no mention of Rest constructing this previously. |
