Halakhah su Genesi 1:16

So the annual seasons are dependent on the sun; similarly the daily seasons.²⁰ The day is divided into quarters just as the year is. See the beginning of Gate 3. The truth is that the planets do not have the ability to affect the sun’s actions, only to add or diminish heat or cold. For the sun’s action is equivalent to the actions of all the others, since it is the largest created body,²¹ Scholars then believed that the sun was the largest created body in the universe. it is closest to the earth,²² There was discussion among medieval astronomers regarding the relative distances of the sun, Mercury, and Venus from the earth. Here Ibn Ezra accepts the view that, besides the moon, the sun is closer to earth than all other planets and stars. and it rules over daytime.

Chazal question why Yiftach did not seek out the beit din of Pinchas, whom Chazal record as the leading Torah figure of the time, in order to annul his vow. The beit din easily could have released Yiftach from his vow with the approach that Yiftach never would have made this vow had he known that his daughter would be the first to emerge from his home. They explain that Yiftach did not go to Pinchas because he insisted that Pinchas come to him in order to convene the beit din, since he was the political leader. Pinchas, in turn, insisted that Yiftach come to him for the procedure, since he was the religious leader.⁵⁷Chazal note that both Yiftach and Pinchas were punished for their intransigence. Chazal (cited by Rashi to Breishit 1:16) refer to this predicament with the aphorism, “Two kings cannot share the same crown.”
