1 Enoch 72:2

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven.See Babylonian Creation Epos v. 9; K.A.T³ 619, 630. Cf. xxxiii-xxxvi for portals of winds and stars. In lxxii-lxxxii, sun, moon, and stars pass through the same portals, but in xxxiii-xxxvi the stars' portals are small, while in lxxii. 6 one of the sun’s portals is called 'great'.Here begins an account of the sun in its progress through the signs of the zodiac, and the resultant increase and decrease of the days and nights.
