—Hymn to Marduk No. 1.
The moon has its very worthy representative among the gods in the person of the great God Sin:
Thou that brightenest the night,
That givest light to all nations,
Bright is thy light in heaven;
Thy brightness fills the whole earth.
—Hymn to Sin No. 1.
Thou that from the base of heaven to the height of heaven dost march in glory;
Opening the door of heaven, and granting light to all men.
—Hymn to Sin No. 5.
