Mazmur 74:16

74:16 You established the cycle of day and night; ¹ 

you put the moon ²  and sun in place. ³ 

Amos 5:8

5:8 (But there is one who made the constellations Pleiades and Orion;

he can turn the darkness into morning

and daylight ⁴  into night.

He summons the water of the seas

and pours it out on the earth’s surface.

The Lord is his name!

[74:16]  ¹ tn Heb “To you [is] day, also to you [is] night.”

[74:16]  ² tn Heb “[the] light.” Following the reference to “day and night” and in combination with “sun,” it is likely that the Hebrew term מָאוֹר (ma’or, “light”) refers here to the moon.

[74:16]  ³ tn Heb “you established [the] light and [the] sun.”

[5:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “darkens the day into night.”
