The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from King James Bible: bear you myself alone:
DEU 1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are
this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
DEU 1:11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so
many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
DEU 1:12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden,
and your strife?
DEU 1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your
tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
DEU 1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken
is good for us to do.

The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from King James Bible: their graven images with fire.
DEU 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy
God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all
people that are upon the face of the earth.
DEU 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because
ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all
people:
DEU 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the
oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out
with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from
the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
