Most Relevant Verses
God made the two great lights—the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night; He made the [galaxies of] stars also [that is, all the amazing wonders in the heavens].
Then God said, “Let there be light-bearers (sun, moon, stars) in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be useful for signs (tokens) [of God’s provident care], and for marking seasons, days, and years;
and let them be useful as lights in the expanse of the heavens to provide light on the earth”; and it was so, [just as He commanded].
Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for light by day
And the fixed order of the moon and of the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea’s roaring billows or stills the waves when they roar;
The Lord of hosts is His name:
The day is Yours, the night also is Yours;
You have established and prepared the [heavenly] light and the sun.

To Him who made the great lights,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
The sun to rule over the day,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
He who made the [cluster of stars called] Pleiades and [the constellation] Orion,
Who turns deep darkness into the morning
And darkens the day into night,
Who calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The Lord is His name.
Who made [the constellations] the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the [vast starry] spaces of the south;
When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established,
Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth,
Their words to the end of the world.
In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun,
[And Ezra said],
“You are the Lord, You alone;
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host (the heavenly bodies),
The earth and everything that is on it,
The seas and everything that is in them.
You give life to all of them,
And the heavenly host is bowing down [in worship] to You.
Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations.
In his days may the righteous flourish,
And peace abound until the moon is no more.
