12. Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured
into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun.
13. All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is
poured _into it_ in the presence of the sun, until _its_ light is in
fourteen days completed in heaven.
14. And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven;
and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is
received into it.
15. It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into
the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east.
16. The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it;
when the moon disappears in turn before the sun.
17. Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all
its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away.
