104:19 He made the moon to mark the months, 1
and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. 2
104:20 You make it dark and night comes, 3
during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.
1 tn Heb “he made [the] moon for appointed times.” The phrase “appointed times” probably refers to the months of the Hebrew lunar calendar.
2 tn Heb more metaphorically, “knows its setting.”
3 tn Heb “you make darkness, so that it might be night.”
