Reference to Psalm 90:4

[edit]

At one point during the story, Ralson shouts that to the alien intelligences "A thousand years are but as yesterday". This seems like a fairly direct quotation of Psalm 90:4, "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.". I don't recall Asimov making Biblical references in his work at any other point - if a source could be found I think that could be worth adding to the article. 82.29.127.81 (talk) 19:51, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
