Sun

As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.

When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.

And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.

The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.

Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.

When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.

When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.

…and going to worship other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—

When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.

…with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons,

On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”

So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”

So may all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.

So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.

So they said to the messengers who had come, “Tell the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Deliverance will be yours tomorrow by the time the sun is hot.’” And when the messengers relayed this to the men of Jabesh, they rejoiced.

Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”

As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”

When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.

Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.

And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”

He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.

I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

…if I have beheld the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,

Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

…their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.

May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.

May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.

The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

…his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,

He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.

The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.

From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

…the sun to rule the day, His loving devotion endures forever.

Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

What does a man gain from all his labor, at which he toils under the sun?

The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.

The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.

What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

I hated all for which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

And who knows whether that man will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.

So my heart began to despair over all the labor that I had done under the sun.

For what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun?

Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.

Again I looked, and I considered all the oppression taking place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; the power lay in the hands of their oppressors, and there was no comforter.

But better than both is he who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

Again, I saw futility under the sun.

I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed this second one, the youth who succeeded the king.

There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him—for this is his lot.

There is another evil I have seen under the sun, and it weighs heavily upon mankind:

The child, though neither seeing the sun nor knowing anything, has more rest than that man,

For who knows what is good for a man during the few days in which he passes through his fleeting life like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will come after him under the sun?

Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.

All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own detriment.

So I commended the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be merry. For this joy will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

So I commended the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be merry. For this joy will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.

This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.

Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.

Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.

Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.

I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.

I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

There is an evil I have seen under the sun—an error that proceeds from the ruler:

Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.

…before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,

Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.

Who is this who shines like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as the stars in procession?

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.

The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

…so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.

No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.

Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.

They will be exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up or buried, but will become like dung lying on the ground.

The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,” declares the LORD.

Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:

He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”

So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.

When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
