Likutei Moharan 62:8/ליקוטי מוהר"ן ס״ב:ח׳

18. And this is [the explanation of the opening verse]: {“Vayaseiv Elohim et HaAm (So God led the people roundabout), by way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. The Israelites went up chamushim (armed), out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).”} Vayaseiv Elohim …—The Midrash brings: vayaSeiV connotes a meal (Shemot Rabbah 20:18). That is, it connotes haSiBah (the means).

2ChaMuShim—One in ChaMiShah (five)—i.e., the five articulators, through which all the idolaters turn to the faith of the Jews “and serve Him with one accord,” as in, “For then I will turn [the speech of] the nations into pure speech….”

3The Israelites went up … out of the land of MiTZRayim—Out of the MeiTZaR of the throat. That is, as a result of the Israelites going up out of the aforementioned primary physical desires, out of the constriction of the throat, speech directs the idolaters to the faith of the Jews. This is the main adornment of faith, the aspect of “she adorns herself in ornaments that were not.” Then, through perfected faith, eating became permissible—the aspect of vayaseiv. {Until here the lesson is leshon Rabbeinu z’l .}
