Genesis 8:8

And he is sending אֶת-the dove from את-himself310 to see, have they become lightened311 the Dual-Waters from off the faces of the Red-one?

Footnote:

311

Strong’s #7043, qalal. To be light, make light, bring into contempt, accurse, despise, lightly esteemed, cursed, swift. This is apparently one of the words for to curse in the Bible. Here the Dual-Waters are described as being lightened or made insignificant (compare with verse 21) when previously the Dual-Waters were blessed (Gen. 1:22). In Revelation 21:1 we discover that “the Sea is no more.” Rest knows. Rest can’t see what’s happening from the Ark until the covering is removed but he knows, verse 13.
