Deuteronomy 4:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ of anything that ·crawls [swarms] on the ground, or of fish in the water below. ¹⁹ When you ·look up at [^Llift your eyes to] the ·sky [heavens], you see the sun, moon, and stars, and ·everything in the sky [all the host of heaven]. But don’t bow down and worship them [5:8–9; Ex. 20:4–5], because the Lord your God has ·made these things [apportioned them] for all people everywhere [32:8]. ²⁰ But the Lord brought you out of Egypt, ·which tested you like a furnace for melting iron [^Lthe iron-smelter; 1 Kin. 8:51; Jer. 11:4], and he made you his ·very own people [^Linheritance], as ·you are now [^Lthis day].
