Translation: When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth; 6000
Commentary:
6000 Cf. 81:6, "when the oceans boil over with a swell". Here, "are suffered to
burst forth" expresses the end of the present order of things. This may be in two
ways: (1) The barrier, which keeps within their respective bounds the various
streams of salt and fresh water (55:20, n. 5185), will be removed; (2) the Ocean
will overwhelm the whole Globe. (R).
