1. Job 9:9

   He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

   ›Commentary on Job 9:92 voices

   “Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Hyades, and the chambers of the south.

   “Which maketh Arcturus,.... By which is meant not a single star, but a collection of stars, as Bar Tzemach and Ben Melech, a constellation; hence we read of Arcturus and his sons, Job 38:

2. Job 38:31

   Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?

   ›Commentary on Job 38:312 voices

   “Wilt thou be able to join together the shining stars, the Pleiades, or wilt thou be able to break up the circuit of Arcturus? [LITERAL INTERPRETATION] The stars Pleiades, are so called from plurality. But they were made so near to each other, and yet so distinct, that they can be near together, and yet cannot possibly be united, since they are united in nearness, but disunited as to contact. But Arcturus so illuminates the seasons of night, as placed in the axis of heaven, to turn itself in divers ways, and yet never to set.

   “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,....

3. Isaiah 13:10

   For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

   ›Commentary on Isaiah 13:102 voices

   “(Verse 10) For the stars of the heavens and their splendor will not extend their light; the sun will be darkened at its rising, and the moon will not shine with its light. The Hebrew word Chisile () was translated as ὠρίωνα in the Septuagint. The Hebrews, with whom I studied, translated it as Arcturus. However, following Symmachus, we generally referred to it as a constellation.

   “For the stars of heaven,....

4. Amos 5:8

   He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth— the LORD is His name—

   ›Commentary on Amos 5:82 voices

   “(Verse 8 onwards) You who turn judgment into wormwood and abandon righteousness on earth, who makes the Bear and Orion, who turns darkness into morning and darkens day into night. He who calls the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: His name is the Lord. He who laughs at destruction, bringing devastation upon the strong. The One who brings judgment from on high and establishes justice on earth; the One who does all things, who transforms and turns the shadow of death into morning and darkens day into night.

   “That maketh the seven stars and Orion - Or, Hyades and Arcturus, Kimah and Kesil. See my notes on Job 9:9; Job 38:32, where the subject of this verse is largely considered. Turneth the shadow of death into the morning - Who makes day and night, light and darkness. Calleth for the waters of the sea - Raising them up by evaporation, and collecting them into clouds. And poureth them out - Causing them to drop down in showers upon the face of the earth. Who has done this? Jehovah is his name.
