Hi Richard, I don't think that the grammar can prove one way or another, although the usual parallelism of biblical poetry would have the moon and the sun play equal roles.
I would actually assume that the subject of the first part, "He" (=God) is also the subject of the second: God made the moon... God knows the sun...

The sun knows its (the sun's own) going down? or The sun knows the moon's going down (moonset)? How does the grammar work here? Is it cut and dried as to meaning one way or the other? Thank you.
