They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
This verse stands among God's inspired questions that no human intellect, however great, and no scholarship, however profound, can answer. It was not posed in order to receive an answer, but to direct attention to the deep mysteries of God and to teach the limitation of human wisdom. Even in the familiar surroundings of daily life there are many things that lie beyond the comprehension of finite beings.
It makes known the infinite power by which God reveals Himself, a power to be acknowledged as much in what He withholds from view as in what He opens to limited human comprehension. In both divine revelation and in nature He thus sets forth mystery for the purpose of commanding faith. Human beings may be ever searching, ever inquiring, and ever learning, and still an infinity remains beyond them.
