The Book of Enoch

73.6 And on the day that it receives a seventh part and a half of its light, its

light amounts to a seventh, and a seventh part and a half.

73.7 It sets with the Sun, and when the Sun rises, the Moon rises with it,

and receives a half of one part of light. And on that night at the beginning

of its morning, at the beginning of the Moon's day, the Moon sets with the
Sun, and is dark on that night in six and seven parts and a half.

73.8 And it rises on that day, with exactly a seventh part, goes out, recedes
from the rising of the Sun, and becomes bright on the remainder of its days,

in the other six and seven parts.
74.1 And another journey, and law, I saw for it, in that according to this

law it makes its monthly journey.

74.2 And Uriel, the Holy Angel who is leader of them all, showed me

everything, and I wrote down their positions as he showed them to me.

And I wrote down their months, as they are, and the appearance of their

light, until fifteen days have been completed.

74.3 In seventh parts it makes all its darkness full, and in seventh parts it

makes all its light full, in the east and in the west.

74.4 And in certain months, it changes its setting, and in certain months, it

follows its own individual course.

74.5 In two months it sets with the Sun, in those two Gates that are in the

middle, in the third and in the fourth Gate.

74.6 It goes out for seven days and turns back, and returns again to the Gate

from which the Sun rises. And in that Gate it makes all its light full, and it

recedes from the Sun, and comes, in eight days, to the sixth Gate from

which the Sun rises.

74.7 And when the Sun rises from the fourth Gate, the Moon goes out for

seven days, until it rises from the fifth Gate. And again it returns in seven

days to the fourth Gate, makes all its light full, recedes, and comes to the

first Gate in eight days.
