Kommentar zu Jonah 2:6
אֲפָפ֤וּנִי מַ֙יִם֙ עַד־נֶ֔פֶשׁ תְּה֖וֹם יְסֹבְבֵ֑נִי ס֖וּף חָב֥וּשׁ לְרֹאשִֽׁי׃
Es umringt mich das Wasser [und bedroht] mein Leben; die Tiefe umringt mich; das Meergras ist um mein Haupt umschlungen.
Rashi on Jonah
the Red Sea hangs over my head Lit., reeds are bound to my head. [Jonathan renders:] The Red Sea hangs over my head. For the Holy One, blessed he He, showed him the Red [lit., Reed] Sea and how Israel crossed in its midst, for the fish’s two eyes were like two windows, and he would look and see everything in the sea. [from Pirk&d’Rabbi Eliezer ch. 10]
