1 Enoch 75:4
Study resource: not ScriptureR. H. Charles translation (1917) · public domain
In like manner twelve doors Uriel showed me, open in the circumference of the sun’s chariot in the heaven, through which the rays of the sun break forth: and from them is warmth diffused over the earth, when they are opened at their appointed seasons.

The Four Days No One Counts
The leaders set over the stars also oversee four intercalary days that fall outside the ordinary year-count, and Enoch says most people go wrong here because they miss them. Uriel is named as the angel the Lord of glory has permanently placed over all the heaven's luminaries. Uriel then shows Enoch the sun's twelve gates and the many side-windows through which warmth and the stars pass.
- 1 Corinthians 2:8 : Paul calls Jesus "the Lord of glory" — the identical title this chapter uses for the God who set Uriel over the heavens.
