“He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.”
Man sets an end to darkness and searches out to the furthest limit a stone in gloom and deep darkness, depicting human ability to penetrate hidden places, to light darkness and to locate resources in inaccessible locations. The setting of an end to darkness suggests that humans bring light to obscurity through technology and determination, that what appears impenetrable to casual observation yields to focused search. The searching to the furthest limit suggests systematic exploration, that humans do not give up but persist until they locate what they seek. The references to gloom and deep darkness emphasize the inaccessibility of what humans nevertheless manage to reach.
