Chapter 76: The Course of the Luminaries - The Sun

And the sun has four gates whence he goes forth, and four gates where he enters: the east, the north, the west, and the south.

And through the gate of the east the sun goeth forth thirty mornings, and through the north gate he entreth thirty mornings.

And from the north he turneth to the west, and goeth thirty mornings, and from the west he goeth to the south, and goeth thirty mornings.

And thus the sun fulfilleth the year, with thirty days for each month and four extra days.

And the sun riseth in the east and setteth in the west, and the whole creation is lightened by his rays.
