About The Heart

Each day I take one or more verses, beginning at the beginning of the Bible, including the word heart. To that I add a little informal commentary.

The Sea has a Heart

Exodus 15:8
By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

I'm going to let Pharoah go, though I continue to ponder the lesson of the hardened heart.
This verse comes after all that, after Pharoah's army has drowned, and Moses sings a song of victory. In this verse we learn that the sea has a heart. Also it describes what it looked like when the waters parted: they stood firm, they were congealed even down deep. It sounds a lot like the cartoon version in Prince of Egypt. That was probably the best Red Sea parting I have seen.
So here heart means the deepest part, the essence.
