Given by: the mother, to her youngest son, urging him to look at creation. Given to: her son — and every reader — as a call to trust the Creator.

As her last son faced death for refusing to break God's law, the mother directed his eyes to the vast creation to teach him the boundless power of the God he was trusting.

I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them: and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also:

Look upon creation and consider that God made heaven, earth, and mankind out of nothing.

2 Maccabees 7:28
