Lexicon :: Strong's G792 - astēr

God made the two great lights ​— ​the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night ​— ​as well as the stars.

He took him outside and said, “Look at the sky and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “Your offspring will be that numerous.”

“I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the city gates of their[fn] enemies.

“I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed[fn] by your offspring,

Then he had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun, moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

“When you look to the heavens and see the sun, moon, and stars ​— ​all the stars in the sky ​— ​do not be led astray to bow in worship to them and serve them. The LORD your God has provided them for all people everywhere under heaven.

The stars fought from the heavens;

the stars fought with Sisera from their paths.

David didn’t count the men aged twenty or under, for the LORD had said he would make Israel as numerous as the stars of the sky.

You multiplied their descendants

like the stars of the sky

and brought them to the land

you told their ancestors to go in and possess.

When I observe your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you set in place,

before the sun and the light are darkened,

and the moon and the stars,

and the clouds return after[fn] the rain;

Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations[fn]

will not give their light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will not shine.

“You are worn out with your many consultations.

So let the astrologers stand and save you —

those who observe the stars,

those who predict monthly

what will happen to you.

“They will be exposed to the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky, which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the soil’s surface.

“This is what the LORD says:

The one who gives the sun for light by day,

the fixed order of moon and stars for light by night,

who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar —

the LORD of Armies is his name:

Those who have insight will shine

like the bright expanse of the heavens,

and those who lead many to righteousness,

like the stars forever and ever.

The sun and moon will grow dark,

and the stars will cease their shining.
