Exegesis
The closing avaru {עָבָרוּ | ʿāḇārû} ‘they passed’ is perfective, portraying repeated surges as a completed, cumulative overwhelm, rendered in English with a forceful motion verb while keeping the sense of successive waves moving over Jonah.
In context — Jonah 2:3
And You cast me into the deep , in the heart of the seas; the flood surrounded me, all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.
