The First Commandment of the Luminaries Lyrics

The sun is a luminary whose egress
Is an opening of the sky
Which is found on the west
And in the east lies its ingress
The sun is rising through six openings
And there are six through with it sets.
The moon uses the same
And all the stars, they guide their way.

First there goes out the greatest light
whose name is the sun.
It's round just like the roundness of the sky;
filled with light.
The chariot in which it rises is
driven by the blowing wind.
The great light sets in the west
and returns by the Northeast.

In order to go to the east, it is
guided so that it shall reach
the eastern gate and shine
in the black face of the sky.
First there goes out
the greatest light
whose name is the sun.
It's round just like
the roundness of the sky;
