And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the STARS also.

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the STARS, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the STARS of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the STARS of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the STARS of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the STARS of heaven for multitude.

• Idolatry

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.

Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the STARS of heaven for multitude.

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the STARS of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

They fought from heaven; the STARS in their courses fought against Sisera.

So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the STARS appeared.

Their children also multipliedst thou as the STARS of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

Let the STARS of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the STARS.

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the STARS, how high they are!

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the STARS are not pure in his sight.

When the morning STARS sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the STARS, which thou hast ordained;

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye STARS of light.

While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the STARS, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

For the STARS of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the STARS of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the STARS for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

• Sun

And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the STARS thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

Seek him that maketh the seven STARS and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the STARS, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the STARS of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.

• Darkness
• Sun

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the STARS shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And the STARS of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

• Sun

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the STARS; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

• Despondency

And when neither sun nor STARS in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the STARS: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the STARS of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

• Angel
• Darkness
• Sun

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the STARS; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
