luminary

First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire.

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.

This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its peculiar kind, as God commanded.

After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven.

When that _their_ visible situation is completed. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me.

Let not the luminary be conquered by the darkness; nor let truth flee away from falsehood.
