This page may have some technical imperfections, but is made available before inspection for you to benefit from the majority of material that likely has no problems. II Kings 23:5 (2021) – And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. [The days of the week are named for the sun, the moon, and the five planets closest to the sun, which would have been discovered before the ones further away were discovered. The names of some of the days are more obvious in French, but the gods for which the planets are named are equivalent, just with different names in English. Sunday is sun day, of course. Monday is moon day. Tuesday (French mardi, for Mars day), is named in English for the equivalent god Tiw's day. Wednesday (French mercredi, for Mercury day), is named in English for the equivalent god Woden's day. Thursday (French jeudi, for Jupiter's day), is named in English for the equivalent god Thor's day. Friday (French vendredi, for Venus' day), is named in English for the equivalent goddess Frigga's day. Saturday is Saturn's day.] Back to Previous Page (Or to go back to where you left off you can use the "Back" button of your browser)
