How indeed?
Thou hast sealed…the earth…and they are deep. The heavens and the heavens of the heavens, and the abysses and the dark places of the earth…Thou, O my God, hast sealed them all and there is none to open them…Does one measure by the hollow of a human hand the waters of the great ocean? Are the heavens estimated by the span of fingers? In one third of a measure can any contain the dust of the earth, and weigh the mountains in a balance, or the hills in scales? Man did not make these. How can he measure the spirit of God?
From the Songs of the Sage (4Q510-11)
Dead Sea Scrolls, Qumran, late 1st cent. BCE
