7702. 'And Jehovah turned an [extremely] strong wind of the sea means a stoppage of the Divine inflow through heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'a wind of the sea , which is a west wind, as a stoppage of the Divine inflow through heaven. For 'an east wind' has meant an agent of destruction by reason of the Divine inflow through heaven, see 7643, 7679, and therefore 'a wind of the sea or west wind, blowing in the opposite direction to the east wind, means a stoppage of that inflow.
