Where in the Bible does it say the moon generates light?

Answer 1

isaiah 13:10

The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.

oh, and isaiah 30:26

The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.

oh yeah, and ezekiel 32:7

When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

Answer 2

The moon does not generate it's own light, but I do believe that in the Bible it says that the moon will give it's light. Once the sun shines upon the moon and the moon reflects that light, you could say the moon gives it's light. Do we not call the light reflecting off the moon, moon light? That's all the Bible is referring to, but you know how some people can be when they want to refute the Bible, to them, anything is a controversy. Unbelievers, what can you do with them? Us, nothing, but we know what God is going to do with them. As you can see by what the person following me says from Isaiah 13:10, the moon will not give it's light, why?, if you notice the sun will be darkened, no sun light, no moon light.

Answer 3

It doesn't say that the moon generates light. The 1st chapter of the bible-at the 4th day of creation God made "two great lights" the greater to rule by day (the sun) and the lessor to rule the night (the moon). This is consistant with the fact that the moon reflects the sunlight to earth. The moon is not the source of light but is gives off light.

Answer 4

Here's a few referring to the light of the moon but I can't find any verse that speaks to the source of the light of the moon separately from the sun...as we know the sun is the source of the moon's light.

Ezekiel 32:7 7 When I blot you out, I will cover the heavens, and make their stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

Isaiah 60:19 19 The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you by night; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

Isaiah 30:26 26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, on the day when the LORD binds up the injuries of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.

Answer 5

One place is Revelation 21:23 "and the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God lighted it up".
Genesis 1:16-18 talks about God creating the two great luminaries, the greater one for dominating the day , the lesser one for dominating the night, and that he put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth.
Don't know if that is exactly what you were looking for but its a starting point anyway.

Answer 6

Genesis 1:16 implies that the moon governs the night in that it supplies light for the earth during night. It doesn't generate light nor does it say that but it does supply light for the earth in that it relects the light of the sun.

Answer 7

I don't know that it does. The first chapter of Genesis says that God hung a light in the sky to rule the night, which would be the moon. I imagine to a prescientific community that the moon would appear to emit its own light.

Answer 8

Not sure, but the moon doesn't generate light.

Answer 9

Genesis 1: 14-18 on the fourth day
