“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:”
The sign of God's covenant constancy—'He who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and stars'—appeals to cosmic regularities as evidence of divine fidelity. The promise that Israel's descendants 'shall be a nation before me forever' grounds Israel's perpetual status in divine power.
