lengthened

But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king’s life.

During that period the day is lengthened from the day, and the night curtailed from the night for thirty days. And then the day is longer by two parts than the night.

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.

But the night is shortened, and becomes six parts. Then the sun rises up, that the day may be shortened, and the night lengthened.

At that period the night is lengthened from the day during thirty mornings, and the day is curtailed from the day during thirty days; the night being ten parts precisely, and the day eight parts.

At that period the night is lengthened as much again as the day.

By means of this progress the day is daily lengthened, and the night greatly shortened.
