The Book of the Luminaries Opens: Uriel's Calendar
Enoch turns to record "the book of the courses of the luminaries of heaven" as shown to him by the angel Uriel, describing the sun's rising and setting through six portals in the east and six in the west, and how the changing length of day and night through the year follows an exact, fixed order "unto eternity."
