Translation commentary on The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men 1:40 – 1:41

If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.62-63

The stars of heaven refers to the stars in the sky, seen at night. Contemporary English Version combines the two verses as follows:

• The sun, the moon,
and the stars
should sing praises
to the Lord forever.

Many translators will find this a helpful model.
