This is a new series (1-16) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 16 in the Old Testament says: And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
Verse No. 16 in the New Testament says: Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ. (the Messiah, the Anointed)
Verse No. 16 in the Noble Quran says: they (the hypocrites) think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.
==========
The verse No. 16 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:16
The verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says: And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
This is the correct translation of the original Hebrew OT (Tanakh).
Also, it is same as in Arabic version of the Bible.
But what about the other English different versions of the Bible.
One has to dishonor such translations in versions like:
New International Version, New American Standard Version, King James Version and Contemporary English Version
These versions have the courage to ADD "He also made the stars".
Such words are invented by those who translate the Bible.
Look at these versions of the Bible that are correct:
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16] God made the two great lights—the greater light to have dominion over the day and the lesser light to have dominion over the night—as well as the stars.
English Standard Version:
16] And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
King James Version:
16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Darby Translation
16] And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
The thing is, the verse says (see English Standard Version and Darby Translation): God made the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars.
Or in other words, God made the small light to rule the night and to rule the stars.
This verse contradicts to the scientific basic knowledge that are well known to any student in primary school.
The verse means that God made the moon to rule the night and to rule the stars.
That is why those who translate New International Version, New American Standard Version, King James Version and Contemporary English Version added "He also made the stars".
It follows that English Standard Version and Darby Translation are the honorable versions of the Bible and New International Version, New American Standard Version, King James Version and Contemporary English Version
are the irrelevant ones.
This is just an example of the many mistakes that are committed willingly or unwillingly by those who translate the Bible.
But why God did not name the sun and the moon and called them the greater light and the lesser light?
It is said that they are not called by their names, because in Old Testament times some people worshiped the sun and the moon as though they were gods. Are you convinced by this explanation?
One more point:
We are now in the fourth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth.
We have three days passed with three evenings and three mornings.
These first three days with their three evenings and three mornings happened before the creation of the sun and the moon.
How would or could that happened?

The verse No. 16 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:16
The verse continues talking about the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, and Matthew lists Jesus' ancestors, the verse says: and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Upon translating of the last word of Matthew 1:16, New International Version, English Standard Version and King James Version put the word Christ.
However, New American Standard Version and Holman Christian Standard Bible provide Messiah. Nevertheless, the Amplified Bible offers Christ, the Messiah and adds also the Anointed. Are such words synonyms?
Herein is the definition of each word:
1) Messiah is the promised and expected deliverer of the Jewish people, from Gk. Messias, from Aramaic meshiha and from Hebrew Mashiah, "anointed" (of the Lord)
Jesus Christ, regarded by Christians as fulfilling this promise and expectation.
2) Christ is Jesus of Nazareth, held by Christians to be the fulfillment of prophecies in the Old Testament regarding the eventual coming of a Messiah.
3) Anointed is To put oil on during a religious ceremony as a sign of sanctification or consecration.
Moreover, Matthew 1:16 says that Joseph was the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ. However, Muslims believe that Saint Mary was virgin and no man would touch her.
----------------
Verse No. 16 in the Noble Quran is Chapter 2:1,
Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW), 2:9
Verses 2:8-20 were revealed concerning the hypocrites (see article 15).
Verses 2:8 says that there are some people who say, ‘We believe in Allah and in the Last Day’ (resurrection after death) but they are not believers.
Verse 2:9 continues talking about those hypocrites and says:
They would deceive Allah and the believers, by manifesting the opposite of the unbelief they hide, so that they can avoid His rulings in this world; and only themselves they deceive, for the evil consequences of their deception will rebound upon them, as they are disgraced in this world when Allah makes known to His Prophet what they are hiding, and they will be punished in the Hereafter; and they are not aware, and they do not know that they are actually deceiving themselves.
In other words, they try to deceive Allah, contravene against Him and denying Him in secret, in their hearts thinking that Allah does not know what is inside their hearts.
It is also said that this means that they were so daring with Allah to the extent that they thought they had deceived Him;
Also, they try to deceive those who believe, Muhammad and his Companions but in fact they deceive none save themselves; but they perceive not.
They do not know that Allah informs His Prophet about that which lies secret in their hearts.
