5 At ang tubig ay nagpatuloy ng paghupa hanggang sa ikasangpung buwan: nang ikasangpung buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, ay nakita ang mga taluktok ng mga bundok.

846. Verse 3 And the waters receded from off the earth, going back and forth, and the waters abated at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

'The waters receded from off the earth, going back and forth' means fluctuations between truth and falsity. 'The waters abated at the end of a hundred and fifty days' means that temptations came to an end. 'A hundred and fifty days' means here, as previously, the finishing point.
