Return to his place

  

'To return to his place' refers to returning to a previous state.

Commentary

 

Gathered together, waters

  

In Exodus 15:8, this signifies falsities gathered together. Waters normally signify truths, but in this case, where they were blocking the escape of the Children of Israel from slavery and signify the opposite: falsities.
