It would have been wonderful if the Bible translators would have translated the word יִקָּווּ be gathered with the word heap up or in Dutch oophore [collect] as this fits also the word Tikva = Hope=Hoop as we know from the Israeli anthem.
There are many more cases where words could have been translated nearer to another original word in nowadays or biblical Hebrew or Dutch or whatever language.
This is, of course, my personal opinion.
9 Hashem said, “Let the water below the sky be gathered into one area, that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
ט וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יִקָּווּ הַמַּיִם מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם אֶל־מָקוֹם אֶחָד וְתֵרָאֶה הַיַּבָּשָׁה וַיְהִי־כֵן׃
