Chasidut do Rodzaju 4:11

The author of Or Hachayim questions a ‎‎Midrash according to which the sea at first ‎refused to wash up these bodies on the shores of the ‎sea, until being given a hint by the Creator Himself to ‎accept these bodies.
I believe that with G’d’s help I ‎have been enabled to understand the reason for the ‎sea’s initial reluctance to “vomit” these bodies on the ‎shore. Death itself was introduced to earth only ‎through Adam having eaten from the tree of ‎knowledge in defiance of G’d’s warning not to do so on ‎pain of his becoming mortal. Seeing that the oceans ‎had no part in that sin, they naturally resented being ‎associated with death, as dead bodies reflect negatively ‎on the one assisting in their concealment, as we know ‎from the earth being cursed for having hidden Hevel’s ‎body. (Genesis 4,11)‎
The ocean not having been part of Adam’s sin at all, ‎resulted in it experiencing a sense of revulsion at the ‎sight of dead bodies. The definition of ‎דבר מת‎, is: ‎‎“something that had been alive but has ceased to be ‎so.” The wicked do not feel revulsion when coming into ‎contact with dead bodies, as they themselves are ‎considered as “dead” even while walking around on ‎earth. (Compare B’rachot 18) The visible ‎unnatural and painful death of the wicked affords their ‎souls a certain spiritual elevation, as the manner in ‎which their bodies had died confirmed the surviving ‎G’d fearing people in their belief that G’d is alive and ‎reigns in this universe.
