And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
By the power of your breath, the waters piled up together. The rushing floods stood straight up like a wall, and the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea.
This verse describes how God miraculously parted the Red Sea by his powerful breath, making the waters stand up like walls so the Israelites could cross on dry ground.
