Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai

“ Who is this father of yours? He said to them, My father is the big fish, that when he laughs, opens his mouth and swallows the water of the sea such that for seventy (alt: seven) years the water doesn't return to its strength, and the hint of the thing (Job 40:23) : "Yibtach ki-yagiach yarden et-pihu/ He is confident he could draw the entire Jordan into his mouth." He swallows so much from the sea that you can't draw from it but one KaD (pail) , which are the KaD (24) books of the Torah. ”

“ And so many of those ships got wrecked and fell into the sea.
וְל"וֹ יִקְּהַ"ת עַמִּי"ם , בְּגִין דְּאִיהוּ בֶּן יִצְהָר בֶּן קְהָ"ת בֶּן עַמְרָ"ם, בֶּן עַמָּא רָמָא, דְאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (דברי הימים א כג, יז) וּבְנֵי רְחַבְיָה רָבוּ לְמָעִִלָה, וְקָטִיל לְחִוְיָא, וְחֵילֵיהּ בְּיַמָּא וּבְיַבֶּשְׁתָּא וּבִרְקִיעָא, וְכַמָּה מָארֵי קְרָבִין אַגָּחוּ עִמֵּיהּ קְרָבָא עַל יַמָּא, כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמַר (תהלים קד, כו) שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן בְּיַמָּא דְאוֹרַיְיתָא, דְּאִינוּן אֳנִיּוֹת עַיְינִין דְּמִסְתַּכְּלִין בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, וְכַמָּה אֳנִיּוֹת מִנַּיְיהוּ אִתַּבְּרוּ וְנָפְלוּ בְּיַמָּא. ”

“ Until his inheritance comes, and he parts the sea of the Torah, and "horse and its rider he casts in the sea," which is the Serpent and his mate, which is his mare, and He makes Yisrael to pass upon it so they don't drown in it. This is the scripture (Ex. 14:29) , "And the children of Yisrael went on dry land amidst the sea." ”
