The great brilliance of the moon in Eastern countries led to its being early an object of idolatrous worship (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:3; Job 31:26 ), a form of idolatry against which the Jews were warned (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:3 ). They, however, fell into this idolatry, and offered incense (2 Kings 23:5; Jeremiah 8:2 ), and also cakes of honey, to the moon (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19,25 ).
