Scripture scholars recount an amusing proposition about Genesis 15:5, where God takes Abram outside and challenges him to "count the stars, if you can" So they suggest that Abram was taken outside in broad daylight, and God was perhaps teasing him a little bit; perhaps the ancients were even aware of things like the star nature of the Sun and the invisible stars present at daytime. It's cool to think about it. Imagine Abram gazing up and counting quite invisible stars, or arriving at a star-count of 1 and going "seriously?"
