The Path of the Sun

1 And I said, And where does the sun begin its work, after the rooster crows? 2 And the angel said to me, Listen, Baruch: All things that I showed you are in the first and second heaven, and in the third heaven the sun passes through and gives light to the world.⁠a But wait, and you will see the glory of God. 3 And while I was talking with him, I saw the bird, and he appeared in front, and grew little by little and returned to his full size. 4 And behind him I saw the shining sun, and the angels who pull it, and a crown on its head, which was too bright for us to look at or see clearly. 5 And as soon as the sun shone, the Phoenix also stretched out his wings. But when I saw such great glory, I was overwhelmed with fear, and I fled and hid in the wings of the angel. 6 And the angel said to me, Do not be afraid, Baruch, but wait and you will also see them set.
