The significance of the sun explains, for example, why the Jewish calendar begins at sunset. Further, significance morphs into symbolism: the cardinal points of location that derive from sunrise and sunset; their symbolism, that appears in square and cubic structures from the Jerusalem temple to the priest’s breastplate; in the layout of the tribes in the wilderness; in medical practice; and, above all, in the symbolic associations of light and darkness, rebirth and resurrection, life and death.
