Numbers 2:1-2 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,… For more than fifty centuries men watched the starlit sky, noted the changes of the planets, and endeavoured to discover the laws which governed their movements; they took careful observations, made elaborate calculations, and yet the law of the harmony of the heavens remained a mystery.
