But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.Fleeing from the Egyptian army, God pledges to part the sea, so the people of Israel may escape. When the Egyptians continue the pursuit, the sea will swallow them up.
~ King James version ~
Tao neither parts seas nor closes the space between the heavens or the earth.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
The laws and processes of nature are Tao. They do not change by whim or intent. They cannot be willed to do this or that.
