Chapter LXXIII Summary
After learning about the sun, Enoch sees another law about the moon. The moon's path is like the path of the sky, and it is pushed by the wind. It gets light in set amounts. The moon's rising and setting change every month. Its full light is one-seventh of the sun's light. The moon's first phase appears on the thirtieth day. It starts with a small amount of light and grows. The moon sets with the sun and rises with it the next day. It starts with a little light and gets brighter over the next thirteen days.
I also saw a different set of rules for the smaller light, which is called the Moon.
She is as vast as the sky, and her chariot, driven by the wind, gives off light in measured amounts.
The moon's rising and setting times change each month. Its days are like the sun's, and when it's full, its light is about one-seventh as bright as the sun's.
The moon begins to rise. Its first visible phase appears on the thirtieth morning. On that day, it becomes visible and marks the first phase of the moon on the thirtieth day, aligning with the sun in the eastern portal where the sun rises.
Half of it moves out by a seventh part, and most of its circumference is empty and dark, except for one-seventh of it, which has a fourteenth part of its light.
When she receives one-seventh of half her light, her total light becomes one-seventh plus half of that.
The moon sets with the sun, and when the sun rises, the moon rises with it, receiving half of its light. In that night, at the start of the lunar day, the moon sets with the sun and is not visible, with only fourteen and a half parts of its light remaining.
She rises on that day with exactly one-seventh of her light, and then she moves away from the sunrise. For the rest of her days, she shines with the remaining thirteen parts of her light.
