Genesis 2:10

Study

       

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

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.
