فَرَجَعَ اللهُ وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَعْبُدُوا جُنْدَ السَّمَاءِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي كِتَابِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ: هَلْ قَرَّبْتُمْ لِي ذَبَائِحَ وَقَرَابِينَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

Stephen upbraids them with the idolatry of their fathers, which God gave them up to, as a punishment for their early forsaking him in worshipping the golden calf; and this was the saddest punishment of all for that sin, as it was of the idolatry of the Gentile world that God gave them up to a reprobate mind. When Israel was joined to idols, joined to the golden calf, and not long after to Baal-peor, God said, Let them alone; let them go on (Act 7:42): Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven. He particularly cautioned them not to do it, at their peril, and gave them reasons why they should not; but, when they were bent upon it, he gave them up to their own hearts; lust, withdrew his restraining grace, and then they walked in their own counsels, and were so scandalously mad upon their idols as never any people were. Compare Deu 4:19 with Jer 8:2. For this he quotes a passage out of Amo 5:25. For it would be less invidious to tell them their own [character and doom] from an Old Testament prophet, who upbraids them, 1. For not sacrificing to their own God in the wilderness (Act 7:42): Have you offered to me slain beasts, and sacrifices, by the space of forty years in the wilderness? No; during all that time sacrifices to God were intermitted; they did not so much as keep the passover after the second year. It was God's condescension to them that he did not insist upon it during their unsettled state; but then let them consider how ill they requited him in offering sacrifices to idols, when God dispensed with their offering them to him. This is also a check to their zeal for the customs that Moses delivered to them, and their fear of having them changed by this Jesus, that immediately after they were delivered…

Molech was a Canaanite god to whom human sacrifices were offered (Lev 18:21; 20:2-5; 1 Kgs 11:7; 2 Kgs 23:10; Jer 32:35). Rephan, a star god identified with the planet Saturn, was worshiped by the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.

«أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: اذْهَبُوا اعْبُدُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَصْنَامَهُ. وَبَعْدُ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي فَلاَ تُنَجِّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بَعْدُ بِعَطَايَاكُمْ وَبِأَصْنَامِكُمْ.
وَتَكُونُ بُيُوتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبُيُوتُ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا كَمَوْضِعِ تُوفَةَ، نَجِسَةً كُلُّ الْبُيُوتِ الَّتِي بَخَّرُوا عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ لآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى».
وَلِئَلاَّ تَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَتَنْظُرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ، كُلَّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ لِجَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ كُلِّ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَغْتَرَّ وَتَسْجُدَ لَهَا وَتَعْبُدَهَا.
وَلكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا وَأَحْزَنُوا رُوحَ قُدْسِهِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا، وَهُوَ حَارَبَهُمْ.
أَفْرَايِمُ مُوثَقٌ بِالأَصْنَامِ. اتْرُكُوهُ.
هذَا أَخْرَجَهُمْ صَانِعًا عَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ، وَفِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.
فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ بَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ الرِّوَاقِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً ظُهُورُهُمْ نَحْوَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ، وَهُمْ سَاجِدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ.
وَإِذَا تَرَكْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً يَرْجعُ فَيُسِيءُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيُفْنِيكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ».
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْتَارُ مَصَائِبَهُمْ، وَمَخَاوِفَهُمْ أَجْلِبُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. بَلْ عَمِلُوا الْقَبِيحَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَاخْتَارُوا مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ».
وَيَذْهَبُ وَيَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَيَسْجُدُ لَهَا، أَوْ لِلشَّمْسِ أَوْ لِلْقَمَرِ أَوْ لِكُلّ مِنْ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ، الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي لَمْ أُوصِ بِهِ،
