'Abated' in the Bible

And God remembered and thought kindly of Noah and every living thing and all the animals that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind blow over the land, and the waters receded.

And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
