Exegesis
The simile kemo-ned {כְמוֹ־נֵ֖ד | kə-mō-nēd} “like-a-mound” contrasts with the participle nozlim {נֹזְלִ֑ים | nō-z̆līm} “streaming,” blending solidity and motion.
In context — Exodus 15:8
And by the breath of Your nostrils, the waters were heaped up; the flowing currents stood like a mound ; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
