Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
