Astronomer-Priest Keepers of The Secrets of Nightly Skies Taught Man.

"Astronomer-Priest Keepers of The Secrets of Nightly Skies Taught Man.  "Host of Heaven" -- The myriads of stars and  planets, moons  and moonlets that twinkle in the vault of Heaven as night falls; " The heavens bespeak the glory of the Lord  and the vault of heaven reveals His handiwork," The Psalmist wrote.

The "heavens" thus described were the nightly skies; and the glory they bespoke was conveyed to Mankind by astronomy-priests. It was they who also  made sense of the countless celestial bodies, recognized stars by their groups, distinguished between the immovable stars and the wandering planets, knew the Sun's and Moon's movements, and kept track to Time--the cycle of calendarial sacred days, and festivals.
