The Book of Enoch


                  75.2 And because of them men go wrong in them.  For these lights really

                  serve in the stations of the world, one in the first Gate, and one in the third

                  Gate, and one in the fourth Gate, and one in the sixth Gate.  And the exact

                  harmony of the world is completed in the separate 364 stations of the


                  world.
                  75.3 For the signs, and the times, and the years, and the days, were showed


                  to me by the Angel Uriel whom the Lord of Eternal Glory has placed in
                  charge of all the Lights of Heaven.  In Heaven and in the world, so that


                  they might rule on the Face of Heaven, and appear over the earth, and be
                  leaders of day and night; the Sun, the Moon, the stars, and all the serving


                  creatures who revolve in all the Chariots of Heaven.

                  75.4 Likewise, Uriel showed to me twelve Gate-openings in the disc of the

                  chariot of the Sun, in the sky, from which the rays of the Sun come out.

                  And from them heat comes out over the Earth when they are opened at the

                  times that are appointed for them.

                  75.5 And there are openings for the winds, and for the spirit of the dew,

                  when they are opened at their times, opened in Heaven, at the ends of the

                  earth.

                  75.6 I saw twelve Gates in Heaven, at the ends of the earth, from which the

                  Sun, and the Moon, and the stars, and all the works of Heaven, go out in

                  the east and in the west.

                  75.7 And there are many window-openings to the north and to the south,

                  and each window, at its appointed time, sends out heat corresponding to

                  those Gates, from which the stars go out, in accordance with His command

                  to them, and in which they set according to their number.

                  75.8 And I saw chariots in Heaven, running through the region above those

                  Gates, in which the stars that never set rotate.

                  75.9 And one is bigger than all the others.  And it goes round through the

                  whole world.
