The First Commandment of the Luminaries Lyrics

The sun's a luminary whose egress
Is an opening of the sky
Which is found in the west
And in the east lies its ingress

The sun is rising through six openings,
And there are six through which it sets.
The moon is using 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;
Filled with light.

First there goes out
The greatest light
Whose name is the sun.
It's round just like
The roundness 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;
Filled with light.
