But the Hebrew says mishuga; it means mad, confused, dizzy. And the Old Testament scholars, following the eye, call it blind, squinteyed; secondly, saying ምሕጸ ሸሸ (mihtse sheshe the womb fled), they say ምሑጽ የሸሸ (mihuts yesheshe the one who fled is smitten). That is not what it says. Thirdly, instead of ምሑጽ (mihuts), it says ምሑስ (mihus), which is incorrect. Like the smitten Jews: (ሲኖዶ).

Instead of በምሕረ (with mercy), it says አስተምሐረ (astemhahare he had mercy) it is incorrect. Look upon me and have mercy on me. “አስተምሕር ሕማሞሙ ለዘመድነ” Have mercy on the suffering of our relatives: (ጦቢ፫: ፲፭። ዮዲ፮: ፲፱).

Since መሐለ (mehele he swore) comes from ብህለ (behule he said), when saying ተማህለለ ምህላ (temahlele mihla he made supplication), the ሀ is dropped with a vowel; its meaning is not that.

Yabusahir of Merha Ewur, the leaders of Enoch and numbers, say that the sun has 515 rays and the moon has 105 rays. And the reason for their interpretation; the reading is its mystery; its root is its meaning, this is it: (ዘፍ፩: ፲፮). Moses; And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars. Saint Paul told us; There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: (፩ቆሮ: ፲፭: ፵፩). And the scholars in their liturgy taught us; And when he created the sun and the moon, it was not that they might shine for him as if he were in darkness; but he gave them a little of his own light, the size of a grain of wheat; and for this reason they shone upon men: (ቅዳ: ግሩ). And this light, which is called the size of a grain of wheat, they divide into a thousand parts. And from this thousand, 595 parts reach the sun according to its rays; 405 remain. From this remaining, 105 go to the moon; 100 to the stars; 100 to the clouds; and 100 to the rainbows. And this that reaches the sun, if 595 is multiplied by 98, it becomes 6 parts and 7 remain; and these 6 parts are given to it every hour from morning until noon. This means speaking of the opening and closing of its rays; but the 7 rays never close. After 6 oclock, 98 close; and until 6 oclock, all are completely closed. It has six additions and six subtractions in one day. And the 105 that we said reach the moon become 15 weeks; and this is given to it every day from the day of the new moon until the day of the full moon. After 15 days, 7 hands are taken from it every day, until 15 days. This means speaking of the opening and closing of its rays; it does not mean that there is another light given to it from outside. They interpret that just as the sun has rays, so also does the moon.
