quran:36:39 –

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns ˹appearing˺ like the old date stalk.  

And the moon — (read wa’l-qamaru, in the nominative, or wa’l-qamara, in the accusative; and it may be in the accusative because of a following verb that governs it) We have determined it, with respect to its course, ˹to run˺ in phases — twenty eight phases in twenty eight nights of every month; it becomes concealed for two nights when the month has thirty days, and for one night when it has twenty nine days — until it returns, during its final phase seeming to the ˹human˺ eye, like an aged palm-bough, in other words, like the stalk with a date cluster when it ages, becoming delicate, arched and yellowish.
القرآن:٣٦:٣٩ –

وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ  

{والقمرُ} بالرفع والنصب وهو منصوب بفعل يفسره ما بعده {قدَرناه} من حيث سيره {منازل} ثمانية وعشرين منزلا في ثمان وعشرين ليلة من كل شهر، ويستتر ليلتين إن كان الشهر ثلاثين يوما وليلة إن كان تسعة وعشرين يوما {حتى عاد} في آخر منازله في رأي العين {كالعرجون القديم} أي كعود الشماريخ إذا عتق فإنه يرق ويتقوس ويصفر.
