I was surprised to see that they dug a verse from the Book of Enoch. It’s not even considered to be canon within Christianity or Judaism.

I was curious about this too. From random web searching (Syfy.com), the sun is 200,000 times brighter than the moon in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I know human perception is logarithmic. I’m interested why it was thought it was 7x brighter. “Sevenfold as the seven days in one” it seems?

I didn’t know about logarithmic perception, that’s interesting! I bet you’re right about 7x being chosen due to the significance of the number seven in the Bible.
