In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth _day_ of the month, of the lifetime of Enoch, in that parable, I saw that the heaven of heavens shook; that it shook violently; and that the powers of the Most High, and the angels, thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of days was sitting on the throne of his glory, while the angels and saints were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my reins were dissolved; and I fell upon my face. The holy Michael; another holy angel, one of the holy ones, was sent, who raised me up.

In the same manner it goes forth in the first month by a great gate.

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.

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.

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

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.

He showed me every ordinance respecting these, which _takes place_ at all times and in all seasons under every influence, in all years, at the arrival and under the rule of each, during every month and every week. _He showed me_ also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate; for in that sixth gate is its light consumed.

From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of computation by weeks, twenty-five _weeks_ and two days.
