Passover II 5779-2019
“On the Seventh Day the Walls of Water Split”
(Revised and updated from Passover 5765-2005)
According to tradition, the Children of Israel marched through the Sea of Reeds (the Red Sea) on the seventh day of Passover. The Torah, in Exodus 14, declares twice that “the waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left.” This unusual repetition of the phrase begs elucidation, and, of course, there is much to learn from this repetition.
