Next

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

And lest thou lift up {H5375} thine eyes {H5869} unto heaven {H8064}, and when thou seest {H7200} the sun {H8121}, and the moon {H3394}, and the stars {H3556}, even all the host {H6635} of heaven {H8064}, shouldest be driven {H5080} to worship {H7812} them, and serve {H5647} them, which the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} hath divided {H2505} unto all nations {H5971} under the whole heaven {H8064}.

For the same reason, do not look up at the sky, at the sun, moon, stars and everything in the sky, and be drawn away to worship and serve them; ADONAI your God has allotted these to all the peoples under the entire sky.

When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.
