Feb 7, 2017 at 9:13 comment added Danny Schoemann @Chaim - how did you get to that conclusion? I am trying to figure out what caused them to sit in one place - and how come that "stopper" didn't suffocate them.
Feb 7, 2017 at 9:13 comment added Danny Schoemann @DanF - I didn't say they couldn't breathe - I am trying to figure out what caused them to sit in one place - and how come that "stopper" didn't suffocate them.
Feb 6, 2017 at 23:37 comment added Chaim The question takes for granted that breathing is a form of movement. Does anyone here disagree with that premise?

Feb 6, 2017 at 18:26 comment added DanF I'm puzzled by some premise in your question. One can sit in one place and still breathe. How do you infer that they weren't able to breathe?

Feb 6, 2017 at 14:03 comment added bondonk Miracle darkness stopped them moving and they breathed.
Feb 6, 2017 at 14:01 comment added Danny Schoemann @bondonk - I never said that. All I know for sure (based on Psukim) is that they didn't get up for 3 days and that it was dark. Even in the darkest darkness one can move. Even blind people move around. What was stopping them from moving and how did it allow them to breathe?
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:54 comment added bondonk I think you would need to equally source that miraculous darkness is thick/non-breathable/liquid-like?

Feb 6, 2017 at 13:53 comment added Danny Schoemann @bondonk - I'm fine with that if you can source it.
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:40 comment added bondonk Its a miraculous darkness with no analogue in nature... Why cant it just make them not see/stand up but let them breathe?
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:24 comment added Danny Schoemann @kouty - that's interesting - I wonder if there's anybody who talks about it.

To clarify, based on the comments:
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:15 comment added Danny Schoemann @bondonk - let me clarify the question - the Pasuk clearly says that couldn't get up.
Feb 6, 2017 at 10:31 comment added bondonk Whats wrong with saying that it was 'thick' in a metaphorical sense? i.e. they couldn't move but could breathe?
Feb 6, 2017 at 10:02 comment added kouty perhaps there was also air as e. g. there is air in a fibrous matter
