#5 IN A SERIES OF 5

Verses where WATER or WATER  related items
refer to EMOTIONS
VERSE Text of VERSE with WATER translated as EMOTIONS
So08-05 Many EMOTIONS can not erase strong love
Is57-20 The wicked have tumultuous EMOTIONS
P029-03 Gods prophecy stands above EMOTIONS
Gn49-04 You are impetuous like EMOTIONAL people*1
Ps69-02 Save me God for my EMOTIONS overwhelm me*2
COMMENTS
*1 Here the Patriarch Jacob criticizes Reuben for
impetuously inteferring with his fathers marital
life.

Jacob is NOT that angry...Rather he sees Reuvens
behavior (Trying to tell his father which wife
to have relations with) as IMPETUOUS (like people
in bars) and not based on solid mature consideration
of all the facts.

Thus WATER here refers to the
type of emotions found in people who hang lose
over a few beers and just want to share without
doing anything serious. Since Reuben behaved like
this he wasnt worthy of the Kingship.

*2 The rest of this Psalm should be similarly interpreted
- the WATERS engulf my soul = EMOTIONS overwhelm me
- I sink in QUICKSAND = BITTER MEMORIES overpower me
etc

The important thing here is that the Psalmist uses
the properties of physical water (fluidity and
volume filling) to refer to the properties of emotions
(harping and obsession)
