of_o god_n that_o be_v prove_v in_o number_n and_o in_o genesis_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o cain_n talk_v with_o god_n and_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o he_o can_v not_o do_v that_o without_o the_o

the_o light_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v be_v save_v so_o this_o prove_v that_o the_o light_n be_v save_v and_o though_o some_o be_v darkness_n and_o the_o god_n of_o the_o world_n have_v blind_v
