Here’s a little info that I found interesting:
The greater of earth’s two heavenly luminaries; the earth’s principal created source of energy, without which life on earth would be impossible. The sun (Heb., she′mesh; Gr., he′li·os), together with the moon, also serves man as a timepiece for measuring the seasons, days, and years. The sun is a gift from “the Father of the celestial lights,” who makes it shine upon all alike, the wicked and the good. Certainly the sun can be said to praise its magnificent Creator.
Time and Direction. Time was often designated by references to the sun’s position. Direction was similarly indicated. “Under the sun” was used to mean “anywhere (or everywhere) on earth.” “Under the eyes” of the sun or “in front of the sun” meant “in the open, for all to see.”
The use of sundials extends back beyond the eighth century B.C.E. in both Babylon and Egypt. However, the Hebrew word ma·‛alohth′, translated “dial” in the Bible at 2 Kings 20:11 and Isaiah 38:8, in the King James Version, literally means “steps” (NW) or “degrees,” as is indicated in the King James Version marginal readings on these verses.
