I found this and read it and those ancient peoples believe that stars were living beings or a anthropomorphic demigod,HUH.

What a minute if these people believed that the stars were alive and gods.

Holy Cow! See the diagram described "The cosmos as described in the book of Enoch." Enoch, in 300 BCE no less, obviously described Asia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent!

Quote:

Further, the Bible frequently presents celestial bodies as exotic living beings. For example, �In them [the heavens], a tent is fixed for the sun, who comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, rejoicing like a strong man to run his race. His rising is at one end of the heavens, his circuit touches their farthest ends; and nothing is hidden from his heat (Psalm 19:4-6).� The stars are anthropomorphic demigods. When the earth's cornerstone was laid �the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted aloud (Job 38:7).� The morning star is censured for trying to set his throne above that of other stars:

I see. So the ancient Hebrews obviously saw the stars as "anthropomorphic demigods"? Oka-a-a-a-a-y.
