8201. 'And Jehovah caused the sea to go away by a strong east wind' means the agent through which falsity was dispersed. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to go away' as dispersing; from the meaning of 'the sea' as falsity, 'the sea' here meaning its waters, which are falsities, see 8137, 8138; and from the meaning of 'an east wind' as the agent of destruction, dealt with in 7679, here of the destruction of falsity, thus of the dispersing of it.
