uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH I_will_stroke/rub//erase DOM the=humankind which/who I_created from=under face/surface_of the=soil from=humankind until cattle/livestock until creeping_(thing)_of and=unto bird the=heavens that/for/because/then/when I_sighed/regretted that/for/because/then/when I_have_made=them )

See how you translated this phrase in verse 3. Also make sure that the way you begin verse 7 fits well with the way you begin verse 6. The implication is that Yahweh is speaking to himself. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Then he said to himself]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

I_will_stroke/rub//erase

Consider whether your language has a similar common expression that would fit well here. Alternate translation: [I will wash away] or [I will blot out]

וְ⁠עַד־ע֣וֹף הַ⁠שָּׁמָ֑יִם

and=unto bird (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH I_will_stroke/rub//erase DOM the=humankind which/who I_created from=under face/surface_of the=soil from=humankind until cattle/livestock until creeping_(thing)_of and=unto bird the=heavens that/for/because/then/when I_sighed/regretted that/for/because/then/when I_have_made=them )

It might seem that the expression birds of the sky contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [and all the birds]

See how you translated “was sorry” or “regretted” in verse 6:6. Alternate translation: [because I am sad]
