Astronomy: General Scriptures Concerning

He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.

By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

…can you, like Him, spread out the skies, as strong as a mirror of bronze?

Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion? …

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. …

…to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.

By His insight He made the heavens. His loving devotion endures forever. …

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you—your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.

Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name: …

As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”

He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth—the LORD is His name—

The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
