Deuteronomy 29:26

24 “All nations would say, ^a‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’

25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt;

26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them.

27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, ^ato bring on it every curse that is written in this book.

28 And the Lord ^auprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’

29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Whom God had not given to them - For their worship, but hath divided them unto all nations, for their use and service. So he speaks here of the sun and moon and stars, which were the principal gods worshipped by the neighbouring nations.
