The allusion of “Parting Waters” occurs in Exodus 14:21 when its stated that “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.” It does occur more than once in the bible. This allusion is best represented as something that gives relief. It’s telling people that someone is there for them, and it is god. The allusion has been used to best represent the compassion and love that god gives to his people. Its shows that he will save them, and do many things to keep them alive. The richness of this allusion indicates that this story is best described as more meaningful. Like explained before, it’s said that god does many things to help. Like helping the Hebrews out of Egypt. That is the allusion of “Parting Waters”.
