together as was the splitting of the Red Sea,
Speaking about the exodus from Egypt:
God makes the solitary
individuals dwell in a house.
He brings out prisoners

God takes single individuals and causes them to dwell
in a house by properly matching a man to a woman.

culminated in the splitting of the Red Sea,
where He released prisoners into prosperity.
