Exegesis
The construct chain mizbechot la-baʿālīm {מִזְבְּחוֹת לַבְּעָלִים | miz-bə-ḥôṯ la-ba-ʿā-lîm} signals idolatrous worship of local deities, while the phrase le-kol-tseva ha-šā-ma-yim {לְכָל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם | lə-kol-ṣə-vāʾ ha-šā-ma-yim} denotes devotion to celestial beings. English rendering retains Hebrew word order and sequential conjunctions, smoothing punctuation for readability.
