And the moon— We have measured for it stages (to travel) till it comes back like the old (and worn out like the) lower part of a (crescent, dried out) date stalk
And (think over the phase of) the moon, We have determined its various mansions, so that (after traversing these mansions) it returns (to the stage when it appears) like an old dry twig of a palm-tree
And We have also appointed stages (of motion and rotation) of the moon till (its appearance to the dwellers of the earth wanes to) the semblance of an old dry branch of a palm-tree
As for the Moon, We have appointed stations to it... Until it finally becomes like an old date stalk.
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
And (as for) the moon, We have fixed for it the stages till its returns to be bent like an old palm branch.
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
And for the moon We have determined mansions or divisions of the ecliptic which it occupies on 28 successive days and there it falls in a swoon and be like a shriveled and withered date-stalk
