¹⁹ And take heed, lest you ^(A)lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, ^(B)all the host of heaven, you feel driven to ^(C)worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has ^[a]given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.

³ who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either ^(A)the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, ^(B)which I have not commanded,

¹⁶ So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, ^(A)made for themselves a molded image and two calves, ^(B)made a wooden image and worshiped all the ^(C)host of heaven, ^(D)and served Baal.

The Garden of Eden

2 Thus the heavens and the earth, and ^(A)all the host of them, were finished.

¹⁶ Then God made two great ^[a]lights: the ^(A)greater light to rule the day, and the ^(B)lesser light to rule the night. He made ^(C)the stars also. ¹⁷ God set them in the firmament of the ^(D)heavens to give light on the earth, ¹⁸ and to ^(E)rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
