6
He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.
7
From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.
8

9
The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, an ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.
10

11

14
Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.
