And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:God established the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, for the benefit of all the nations under the whole heaven (Deuteronomy 4:19). These lights form the day and night (Psalm 74:16), and are used for signs (of the time) and for seasons (of sowing, planting and reaping), and for days, and years; even in the end times, there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars (Luke 21:25).
In the news: Blessing the Sun: Jewish ceremony comes around once every 28 years; World of the Sages: The sun's new cycle; Birkat haChammah: An Evocative Blessing.
