Face of the water
The face of the water (Genesis 1:2) signifies the knowledges of good and truth.

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.
