1And now my son Mathusala, I have shewn thee every thing, and the account of every ordinance of the stars of heaven is ended.
2Uriel shewed me all their ordinances, which are on all days, and in every time, which are under every power, and in every year, at its egression, according to its law, in every month, and in every week, and the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate, for in that gate its light is ended.
3The beginning of the month is from this, and its decrease which is effected in the sixth gate in its time to the end are one hundred and seventy seven days, according to its ordinance by twenty-five weeks, and two days.
4And its time is less than that of the sun according to the ordinance of the stars by five days in one half year exactly, when they are at the end of that situation which thou seest.
5Such is the appearance and likeness of every light, which Uriel shewed to me, the great angel who is their conductor.
