Original artwork, not a still
Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days; rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker claims six is perfect by its own nature, independent of creation. Reversing the usual order, the line says the world was made in six days because the number was already perfect, and it would stay perfect even if nothing had been made.
