Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R' Yisroel Menachem, R' Baruch Moshe Aryeh ben R' Zev Yehuda, Zev Yehuda ben R' Shmuel Mordechai, Avraham ben R' Yitzchak Zev, Rav Dovid Meer ben Harav Shmuel
In perek yud dalid posuk chaf alef the posuk says, "Vayeit Moshe es Yado al hayam vayolech Hashem es hayam b'ruach kadim aza kal halayla vayasem es hayam lecharava vayibaku hamayim." "Moshe stretched his hand over the sea and Hashem moved the sea with a strong east wind all night, and he turned the sea to damp land and the waters split."
The Yalkut Tehillim says on the words "Hayam ra'ah vayanas", "the sea saw and it split", What did it see? The aron of Yosef, and Hashem said "Nas mipnei hanas" split because of the fleeing of Yosef from eishes Potiphar.
Rav Yaakov Aryeh Neiman ztl asks, if Hashem had already commanded the yam to split, what did it need to see the aron of Yosef? Hashem told you split you split.
Therefore Rav Neiman explains that it must be Hashem did not command the yam to split, rather he just told Moshe "nitei es yadcha al hayam uvkaeihu" stretch out your arm over the sea and split it." Moshe commanded the sea to split not Hashem. However, the yam did not want to listen to Moshe. "What makes you Moshe any better than me? You do the ratzon of Hashem to the max? Well guess what so do I. I always do everything that Hashem commands me to do, so why should I listen to you." Yet the yam was forgetting one thing and the aron of Yosef was a very strong reminder. Yes the yam listens to Hashem, but that does not bring it onto the level of man. The yam has no nisyonos to fight while attempting to do the ratzon Hashem. Man on the other hand lives a life of nisayon going from battle to battle as we work on doing the ratzon of Hashem and getting closer to him. Yosef Hatzadik was the eye opener to the Yam that told it Moshe Rabbeinu is way bigger than you! Yosef's running from Potiphars wife is known as THE story where man came out superior to his Yetzer Hara. After all this is what turned Yosef from Yosef to Yosef Hatzadik.
Understanding the greatness of man and the challenges we must overcome to continue climbing caused the Yam to understand that it should be machnia itself to Moshe Rabeinu, and therefore it split.. Good Shabbos
