The tradition reads this as a picture of their constant motion at God's command. In the prophets God "bursts" the bonds of a people's slavery, and Job feels ready to burst like new wine-skins full of words. Interpretation: The rabbis read the breaking of the yoke and bonds as a promise of freedom from oppression. In the primary lessons: In science, a balloon bursts when the air pressure inside is too great for the rubber; a burst pipe leaks water. In stories, burst shows sudden action or strong feelings. In everyday life a burst water pipe or burst tyre needs an adult quickly. Phrases: burst into tears, burst out laughing, burst open, a burst of energy, bursting with pride, burst a bubble. ### examples - The word of God is in them as they burst forth, and as they return; they obey the divine command, rushing along as a whirlwind, returning to prostrate themselves at his throne.
