And You created heaven and earth,

and stars and constellations. 
And on the earth: trees, and grasses, 
and the Garden of Eden, 
[and herbs] and beasts, and birds, and fish, 
and people, 
so that higher-ones would be recognised through them, 
and how high-ones and low-ones are directed through them, 
and how they are recognised from higher and lower 
– and there is none that knows of You at all.
