And when he began by mentioning the verse of the day, he followed it by mentioning the verse of the night and said: "And the moon," meaning the light acquired from it, just as the lights of the souls are from the lights of the intellects. "When it follows it," meaning it follows it in rotation and light, indicating that its light is from its light due to the proximity that diminishes its light and the distance acquired for it in proportion to what it faces from its body. It continues to increase until the encounter is complete, and the light is completed on the night of the full moon when they meet on the horizon of the east and west. Then it begins to approach and decreases in proportion to how much it deviates from the encounter. The relationship of following to it is metaphorical, applied in relation to what it observes from it likewise.
