In the Bible: is the Moon Stroke an Emergency Condition?

                                                                                         

The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.
The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times

Psalm 121:6 says that the sun shall not strike (smite) you by day, nor the moon by night (Shielding you from sun stroke, sheltering you from moon stroke).
Verse 36:40 in the Noble Quran say that the sun and the moon are moving in a determined orbit.
============

Psalm 121:6 in five different versions of the Bible:

New International Version
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

New American Standard Bible
6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.

English Standard Version
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

King James Version
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The Message
5-6 God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.

Sunstroke or heat stroke is called Hyperthermia
It is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably.
Hyperthermia can be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. Body temperatures above 40°C (104 °F) are life-threatening. This compares to normal human body temperature of 36-37°C (97-98°F). At 41°C (106 °F), brain death begins, and at 45°C (113°F) death is nearly certain. Internal temperatures above 50°C (122°F) will cause rigidity in the muscles and certain, immediate death.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, and the local emergency services should be notified as soon as possible.
The body temperature must be lowered immediately. The patient should be moved to a cool area and clothing removed to promote heat loss. Active cooling may be used: The person is bathed in cool water, a hyperthermia vest can be applied, and however, wrapping the patient in wet clothes can act as insulation and increase the body temperature. Cold compresses to the torso, head, neck, and groin will help cool the victim. A fan may be used to aid in evaporation of the water.
This is the heat stroke or the sun stroke.
But, what about the Moon Stroke that is suggested by the Bible?
The Sun Stroke is an emergency medical problem. Is the Moon Stroke that is suggested by the Bible an emergency condition too?

Verse 36:40 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

QARIB: the sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall the night outstrip the day. each is floating in an orbit.
SHAKIR: neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere
PICKTHAL: it is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. they float each in an orbit.
YUSUFALI: it is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day: each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to law).

The verse says that:
It does not behoove; it is neither facilitated nor is it right for the sun to catch up with the moon, and so appear together with it at night, nor may the night outrun the day, and thus it [the night] never arrives before the latter ends and each of them (the sun ad the moon) is moving in a determined orbit. They, the sun, the moon and the planets (float each in an orbit) revolve and turn round an orbit.
