It is the moon that marks the changing seasons, 1
governing the times, their everlasting sign.
7
From the moon comes the sign for festal days,
a light that wanes when it completes its course.
8
The new moon, as its name suggests, renews itself; 2
how marvelous it is in this change,
a beacon to the hosts on high,
shining in the vault of the heavens!
