But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
Genesis 1:14–18
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Judges 5:31
So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): There is no speech nor language (no nation, for the nations were divided after their tongues, Gen. x. 31, 32 ) where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone through all the earth (the equinoctial line, suppose) and with it their words to the end of the world, proclaiming the eternal power of God of nature,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In singing these verses we must give God the glory of all the comfort and benefit we have by the lights of the heaven, still looking above and beyond them to the Sun of righteousness. The Excellency of the Scriptures. 7 The law of the L ORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the L ORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Paul (Ro 10:8), quoting from the Septuagint, uses "sound," which gives the same sense. The sun, as the most glorious heavenly body, is specially used to illustrate the sentiment; and his vigorous, cheerful, daily, and extensive course, and his reviving heat (including light), well display the wondrous wisdom of his Maker.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Line - Their lines, the singular number being put for the plural. And this expression is very proper, because the heavens do not teach men audibly, or by speaking to their ears, but visibly by propounding things to their eyes, which is done in lines or writings.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

Tier D (historically false premises, refuted from inside young-earth creationism). No decoded-zodiac reading is proposed as an approved connection; connections below are the honest scaffolding of a single contested-framed page: genuine star-texts, word anchors, and guardrail Scriptures. - **verse:job.38.32** — Mazzaroth (H4216) is a hapax legomenon; its lone occurrence is Job 38:32 and it is the page's title word. _(source: Strong's H4216 (biblehub.com/hebrew/4216.htm); Job 38:32 ASV)_ - **verse:gen.1.14** — The luminaries 'for signs and seasons' beside 'the heavens declare the glory of God' — the legitimate Tier-A witness of the sky, the honest core of the page. _(source: Gen 1:14; Ps 19:1 (ASV))_ - **verse:psa.19.4** — Paul quotes Ps 19:4 ('their line is gone out through all the earth') in Rom 10:18, applying the heavens' silent witness to the preached gospel — the hinge of the natural-vs-special-revelation question the page turns on. _(source: Rom 10:18 quoting Ps 19:4 (LXX); Beale & Carson, Commentary on the NT Use of the OT (2007))_ - **verse:psa.19.1** — General revelation shows God's everlasting power and divinity - and, per Faulkner, nothing about the way of salvation; the honest limit on what the stars reveal. _(source: Ps 19:1; Rom 1:20 (ASV); Faulkner, ARJ 6 (2013))_ - **verse:deu.4.19** — Israel is forbidden to worship the host of heaven that God 'allotted to all the peoples' - the counterweight to venerating the Mazzaroth. _(source: Deut 4:19 (ASV))_ - **verse:deu.18.10** — Divination and star-reading for guidance/fate are explicitly condemned (Deut 18:9-14; the 'astrologers, stargazers, monthly prognosticators' of Isa 47:13-14); the page must display this so the star-gospel is never mistaken for a license to astrologize. _(source: Deut 18:10-14; Isa 47:13-14 (ASV))_ - **verse:rom.10.17** — Faulkner's theological objection: faith comes by hearing the word (Rom 10:17), and the rulers of this age did not know the hidden wisdom (1 Cor 2:8) - redemption was not legibly pre-written in the constellations. _(source: Faulkner, J. Creation 12(2):169-172 (1998); Rom 10:17; 1 Cor 2:8 (ASV))_ - **verse:2pe.1.19** — The 'word of prophecy made more sure' (2 Pet 1:19) ranked above heavenly signs; Ps 19:7-11 is the Psalm's own pivot from sky to Scripture - the honest landing of the page. _(source: 2 Pet 1:19; Ps 19:7 (ASV))_
