Then the day becomes lengthened by a second portion, so that it is eleven parts: while the night becomes shortened, and is only seven parts.

And the sun returns towards the east, entering into the sixth gate, where it rises and sets for thirty days.

When that period is completed, the day becomes shortened precisely one part, so that it is eleven parts, while the night is seven parts.

Then the sun goes from the fifth gate, as it sets in the fifth gate of the west; and rises in the fourth gate for thirty-one days, on account of its signs, setting in the west.

At that period the day is made equal with the night; and, being equal with it, the night becomes nine parts, and the day nine parts.

Then the sun goes from that gate, as it sets in the west; and returning to the east proceeds by the third gate for thirty days, setting in the west at the third gate.

The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days.

The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days.

In like manner also it sets in the second gate in the west of heaven.

Then the sun goes at that time from the second gate, as it sets in the second gate in the west; but returns to the east, _proceeding_ by the first gate, for thirty-one days.

It is twelve parts precisely, while the day is six parts.

Into that gate it enters for thirty days, and sets in the west, in the opposite part _of heaven_.

It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising and setting.

At that period the night is contracted in its length. It becomes ten parts, and the day eight parts. Then the sun goes from that second gate, and sets in the west; but returns to the east, and rises in the east, in the third gate, thirty-one days, setting in the west of heaven.

At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days.

This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days, and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever.

And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon; but the dimensions of both are equal.

And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon; but the dimensions of both are equal.

Its chariot, _which_ it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure.

Its chariot, _which_ it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure.

Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun. And when in like manner its light is to exist, its light is a seventh portion from the light of the sun.

Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days.

At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days _it is_ with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth.

At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days _it is_ with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth.

Half of it is in extent seven portions, one _half_; and the whole of its orb is void of light, except a seventh portion out of the fourteen portions of its light. And in a day it receives a seventh portion, or half _that portion_, of its light. Its light is by sevens, by one portion, and by the half _of a portion_. It sets with the sun.

And in a day it receives a seventh portion, or half _that portion_, of its light. Its light is by sevens, by one portion, and by the half _of a portion_. It sets with the sun.

And when the sun rises, the moon rises with it; receiving half a portion of light.

On that night, when it commences its period, previously to the day of the month, the moon sets with the sun.

And on that night it is dark _in_ its fourteen portions, that is, _in each_ half; but it rises on that day with one seventh portion precisely, and in its progress declines from the rising of the sun.

And on that night it is dark _in_ its fourteen portions, that is, _in each_ half; but it rises on that day with one seventh portion precisely, and in its progress declines from the rising of the sun.

I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days.

In each of its two seven portions it completes all its light at rising and at setting.

On stated months it changes _its_ settings; and on stated months it makes its progress _through_ each _gate_. In two _gates_ the moon sets with the sun, _viz._ in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. _From the third gate_ it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit.

Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, _and returns in seven days to the third gate_, from which the sun goes forth.

Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, _and returns in seven days to the third gate_, from which the sun goes forth.

When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the _moon_ goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth _gate_.

Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the first gate in eight days;

To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less _than the sun_, for an addition being made to the _one thousand and_ sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days.

And the harmony of the world becomes complete every three hundred and sixty-fourth state of it. For the signs,

From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

From the second gate, the middle one, proceeds equity. There issue from it rain, fruitfulness, health, and dew; and from the third gate northwards, proceed cold and drought.

The first wind is called the eastern, because it is the first.

Two come from the north to the sea, their waters flowing into the Erythræan sea, on the east. And with respect to the remaining four, they take their course in the cavity of the north, _two_ to their sea, the Erythræan sea, and two are poured into a great sea, where also it is said _there is_ a desert.

In the orb of the sun _there is_ a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon. By measure it is put in, until a seventh portion of _the light of_ the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven.

_By_ three quintuples light is put into it, until _in_ fifteen _days_ its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples.

_By_ three quintuples light is put into it, until _in_ fifteen _days_ its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples.

It also has a period of twenty-eight days.

Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun.

Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun.

All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured _into it_ in the presence of the sun, until _its_ light is in fourteen days completed in heaven.

All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured _into it_ in the presence of the sun, until _its_ light is in fourteen days completed in heaven.

And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it.

And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it.

And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it.

It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east.

The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it; when the moon disappears in turn before the sun.

Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away.

During three months it effects in thirty days _each month_ its period; and during three _more_ months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. _These are the times_ in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, _namely_, in one hundred and seventy-seven days.

And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three _more_ months it appears twenty-nine days each.

And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three _more_ months it appears twenty-nine days each.

In the night it appears for each twenty _days_ as _the face of_ a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light.

In the night it appears for each twenty _days_ as _the face of_ a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light.

He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down; and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it.

He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down; and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it.

Then I looked on all which was written, and understood all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man;

Wisdom have I given to thee, to thy children, and thy posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend _it_ may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating _this_ wholesome food.

With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of _each_ gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods.

Truly has been stated, and accurately has been computed that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me; whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain _the laws of_ light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs.

Now, my son, rise up; and beseech the Lord of glory (for thou art faithful), that a remnant may be left upon earth, and that he would not wholly destroy it. My son, all this _calamity_ upon earth comes down from heaven; upon earth shall there be a great destruction.

When I went out below, and looking up to heaven, beheld the sun proceeding from the east, the moon descending to the west, a few _scattered_ stars, and everything which God has known from the beginning, I blessed the Lord of judgment, and magnified him: because he hath sent forth the sun from the chambers of the east; that, ascending and rising in the face of heaven, it might spring up, and pursue the path which has been pointed out to it.

I lifted up my bands in righteousness, and blessed the holy, and the Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with.

For thou hast made _them_, and over all thou reignest. No act whatsoever exceeds thy power. With thee wisdom is unchangeable; nor from thy throne and from thy presence is it ever averted. Thou knowest all things, seest and hearest them; nor is anything concealed from thee; for thou perceivest all things.

After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to thee, my son. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To thee, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline thine ear to the visionary dream of thy father. Before I married thy mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed;

Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer: one of them was black, and one was red.

The black heifer then struck the red one, and pursued it over the earth.

Again I perceived them, when they began to strike and to swallow each other; and the earth cried out. Then I raised my eyes a second time towards heaven, and saw in a vision, that, behold, there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men. One came forth from thence, and three with him.

And, binding it hand and foot, he cast it into a valley; a valley narrow, deep, stupendous, and gloomy.

And, binding it hand and foot, he cast it into a valley; a valley narrow, deep, stupendous, and gloomy.

Then one of them drew his sword, and gave it to the elephants, camels, and asses, who began to strike each other. And the whole earth shook on account of them.

Then one of those four went to the white cows, and taught them a mystery. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a man, and fabricated for himself a large ship. In this he dwelt, and three cows dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them.

Again I lifted up my eyes towards heaven, and saw a lofty roof. Above it were seven cataracts, which poured forth on a certain village much water.
