Genesis 2:16

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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.
