The physics behind the flow of water isn't relevant, only the symbolism of the different heights does. That's the question you should be asking, but unfortunately, I don't have a satisfactory answer to that one. | |

| Aug 14, 2015 at 1:52 | comment | added | Yoel Fievel Ben Avram | @DoubleAA that would be a more productive question, but it is a tortured reading of the last three paragraphs of OP, and assumes a hashkafa that you and I certainly share, but it is doubtful that op has it. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 1:40 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Yes it is. Q: The stated miracle seems unnecessary. So why state it as such? Answer: [some sort of symbolism]. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 1:26 | comment | added | Yoel Fievel Ben Avram | @DoubleAA that's way beyond the scope of the question and my knowledge. This was tagged 'science' and was about the physics of water flow. The symbolism is a fascinating question; just not the one OP asked. | |
