Genesis 2:15

Study

       

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

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.
