And when the waters see the holy Name, they will run from it. This is why he said, \u201cAnd stretch out your hand,\u201d to one side of the staff, since you will need the other sides of the staff for other things, meaning for striking the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>91) Sometimes, this staff is called \u201cthe staff of God,\u201d and sometimes, \u201cthe staff of Moses.\u201d However, it is all one, whether you say \u201cthe Creator\u2019s staff\u201d or \u201cMoses\u2019 staff.\u201d This staff is to evoke the side of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cStretch out your hand,\u201d meaning the left hand, which is on the side of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>92) Woe unto those who do not see and do not look in the Torah. The Torah calls out before them each day, but they do not notice. From the side of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, water awakens in the world and water comes out. And now the Creator wished to dry up the water. Why does it say, \u201cAnd stretch out you hand,\u201d which is the left hand,&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>93) \u201cLift up your staff\u201d is to dry up the water, and \u201cStretch out your hand\u201d is to bring the water back, to evoke the side of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, to bring the water back over the Egyptians. This is why both things are here, as it is written, \u201cLift up your staff,\u201d and \u201cstretch out your hand over the sea and divide it.\u201d One is to dry the water and the other is to bring the water back over the Egyptians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>94) How is land made within the sea? After all, there were deeps there. The Creator performed a miracle within a miracle, as it is written, \u201cThe deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea,\u201d and they were walking on land within the sea, as it is written, \u201cAnd the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>90) \u201cAnd you, lift up your staff and stretch out your
