Sampai kapan, ya Allah, lawan akan mencela? Akankah musuh menista nama-Mu untuk selama-lamanya?

And he said, "Scatter my ashes across the seven seas, so that the God of the Jews should not find me, etc.": The seven seas are according to the seven climates, based on the seven planets. And this wicked one blashpemed towards the Above - that He does not have power in the seven seas, but rather gave [their] governance to the seven planets above, "so that God should not find him, etc." - since He does not have governance over them. And there is also a hint to this in the [Psalm] that it brought [above]. As it stated (Psalms 74:10), "Till when, O God, will the foe blaspheme, etc." He blasphemes even after his death, that Your governance is not on the seven seas. "But God is my King from of old, etc." (Psalms 74:12). As You already showed Your power and Your salvation in all of the seas. For, "You drove back the sea with Your might (ozecha), etc." (Psalms 74:13). That is hinting to the angel of the sea, who is called Uza - that You drove him back with Your governance. And "You split open springs and torrents, etc. You made mighty rivers run dry, etc." (Psalms 74:15) - for Your power is in all of the seas and the rivers. And it stated (Psalms 74:16), "The day is Yours, the night is also Yours, etc." - meaning to find [something] in darkness as in light, and [that] there is nothing hidden from in front of Your eyes. That is the opposite of what he said, "So that the God of the Jews should not find me."
