Zohar on Tehillim 114 – The Sea Saw and Fled

Tehillim 114:3                                                                                 

- "Hayam ra'ah vayanos" - (The sea saw and fled...)                    

When the Jews crossed the Yam Suf, Joseph's coffin entered the sea first, and the water could not stand before it: "the sea saw and fled".

Why did it "flee"?

The sea saw the man about whom the Torah says: "and he fled and went outside."

(Genesis 38:12)

 This was Joseph, who broke free from the Egyptian woman's grasp.

(Zohar on Pinchas, Sulam, Rabbi Tzvi Nissanzon)
