  • There is some interesting evidence that יצא when predicated of the sun was understood as “shine” (see Nakata 2022).
  • On תקופה, see HALOT: "turning-point (of the sun in the sky) Ps 19:7... the eastern horizon as one extremity of the sky is the place from which the sun commences its course; at the opposite side, on the western horizon, is the turning-point, for this is the entrance for its nocturnal journey back under the earth." So SDBH: "= location where the sun has reached the end of its circuit and from where it is expected to move back to its beginning point." So Gesenius 2013: "(Wende)punkt."
  • In Ben Sira 43:7, תקופה may refer to the “waning” of moonlight.
