Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(daughters of Pleione). The “
seven
stars.” A group of stars in the constellation Taurus (
Job 9:9; 38:31
9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. (Job 9:9)
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:31)
;
Amos 5:8
8
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name: (Amos 5:8)
).
“Pleiades (Kimah)” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
Hebrew
signifies literally “a heap or collection.” Being named with
Arcturus
and
Orion
, it doubtless refers to the group of stars that still
bear
the name Pleiades (
Job 9:9
9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. (Job 9:9)
;
Job 38:31
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:31)
). The same Hebrew word is translated
SEVEN
STARS in
Amos 5:8
8
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name: (Amos 5:8)
. There are many stars in the group, but seven are visible to the
naked
eye.
Job 38:31
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:31)
is better translated, “Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?”
