“Now in the second vision you saw her standing with a youthful countenance, and more joyful than before; still she had the skin and hair of an aged woman. Hear,” said he, “this parable also. When one becomes somewhat old, he despairs of himself on account of his weakness and poverty, and looks forward to nothing but the last day of his life. Then suddenly an inheritance is left him; and hearing of this, he rises up, and becoming exceeding joyful, he puts on strength. And now he no longer reclines, but stands up; and his spirit, already destroyed by his previous actions, is renewed, and he no longer sits, but acts with vigour. So happened it with you on hearing the revelation which God gave you. For the Lord had compassion on you, and renewed your spirit, and ye laid aside your infirmities. Vigour arose within you, and ye grew strong in faith; and the Lord seeing your strength, rejoiced. On this account He showed you the building of the tower; and He will show you other things, if you continue at peace with each other with all your heart.”

_They know_ that the heavenly luminaries change not their paths; that each rises and sets regularly, every one at its proper period, without transgressing the commands _which they have received_. They behold the earth, and understand what is there transacted, from the beginning to the end of it.

Another thing also I saw respecting splendour; that it rises out of the stars, and becomes splendour; being incapable of forsaking them.

In which gates also the moon rises and sets; and _I beheld_ the conductors of the stars, among those who precede them; six _gates were_ at the rising, and six at the setting of the sun.

When the sun rises in heaven, it goes forth through this fourth gate thirty days, and by the fourth gate in the west of heaven on a level with it descends.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets.

When the moon rises, it appears in heaven; and the half of a seventh portion of light is all _which is_ in it.

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

In the first part of the year rises and rules Melkyas, who is named Tamani, and Zahay.

Thus the sun revolves and goes, and rises under the heaven, and its course goes under the earth with the light of its rays incessantly.

And I saw six gates open, each gate having sixty-one stadia and a quarter of one stadium, and I measured them truly, and understood their size to be so much, through which the sun goes forth, and goes to the west, and is made even, and rises throughout all the months, and turns back again from the six gates according to the succession of the seasons; thus the period of the whole year is finished after the returns of the four seasons,

The river like the Nile rises in harvest-time and irrigates a large portion of the land.

For these all by their contempt of pains, yea, even unto death, proved that Reason rises superior to the passions.
