ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

ecclesiastes 1:5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there [again].

5. (Ps 19:5, 6). "Panting" as the Hebrew for "hasteth"; metaphor, from a runner (Ps 19:5, "a strong man") in a "race." It applies rather to the rising sun, which seems laboriously to mount up to the meridian, than to the setting sun; the accents too favor MAURER, "And (that too, returning) to his place, where panting he riseth."

ecclesiastes 1:5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there [again].
