dan juga supaya jangan engkau mengarahkan matamu ke langit, sehingga apabila engkau melihat matahari, bulan dan bintang, segenap tentara langit, engkau disesatkan untuk sujud menyembah dan beribadah kepada sekaliannya itu, yang justru diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepada segala bangsa di seluruh kolong langit sebagai bagian mereka,
Dan jangan kamu menengadah ke langit hendak memandang matahari dan bulan dan segala bintang, segenap tentara di langit itu, sehingga kamu dibujuk akan menyembah dia dan berbuat bakti kepadanya, yang telah dikaruniakan Tuhan, Allahmu, kepada segala bangsa yang di bawah langit akan bahagiannya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven,.... The starry heaven, which to do in itself is not sinful; and may be lawfully and commendably done, to raise admiration at the wonderful works of God in them, and lead to adore the author of them: but if not guarded against may be ensnaring:
and when thou seest the sun and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven; those bright luminaries, so glorious to behold, and so useful and beneficial to the earth, and the inhabitants of it:
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them; should have an impulse on their minds and their hearts, be inclined and drawn to the worship of them, partly by considering their splendour, glory, and usefulness, and partly by the example of others; for the worshipping of these seems to be and is the first kind of idolatry men gave into, at least it was very ancient; see Job 31:26,
which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven; the sun and the moon by their constant revolutions visit all the parts of the world, and stars are fixed in both hemispheres, so that all nations of the earth receive the benefit and advantage of all these heavenly bodies; but were never designed to be the objects of their worship, as might be learnt from their being divided to them, sometimes one part of the earth enjoying them, and then another, and not present with them all at one and the same time, which, if deities, would have been necessary; see Psalms 19:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Divided - i. e., “whose light God has distributed to the nations for their use and benefit, and which therefore being creatures ministering to man’s convenience must not be worshipped as man’s lords.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 4:19. When thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars — The worship of the heavenly bodies was the oldest species of idolatry. Those who had not the knowledge of the true God were led to consider the sun, moon, planets, and stars, as not only self-existing, but the authors of all the blessings possessed by mankind. The knowledge of a rational system of astronomy served to destroy this superstition; and very little of it remains now in the world, except among a few Christian and Mohammedan astrologers; those miserable sinners who endeavour, as much as possible, to revive the old idolatry, while vainly professing to believe in the true God! Nor is it to be doubted that God will proceed with them as he has done of old with the worshippers of the host of heaven. Sound philosophy is next in importance to sound divinity; and next to the study of the work of grace is that of the operations of God in nature; for these visible things make known his eternal power and Godhead.
