Interpretation: Tradition reads these verses as showing God's rule over the sea and its pride, as at the Red Sea. In the primary lessons: In first aid, swelling happens after bumps, sprains and stings, because fluid gathers in the hurt area; rest, a cold pack wrapped in a cloth, and raising the part help bring it down. Swelling of the face, lips or tongue after a sting or food can be a serious allergic reaction — get help immediately. In science, wood swells when wet, and rivers swell after heavy rain, which can cause floods.
