- 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
These he names as constellations of greatest eminency; but under them he seems to comprehend all the stars, which as they were created by God, so are under his government. Arcturus is a northern constellation, near that called the Bear. Orion is a more southerly constellation, that rises to us in December.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Hyades, and the chambers of the south.

- 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.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXIX, 604Patristic
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,....

He names the stars well known to shepherds (to which class Amos belonged), Orion as the precursor of the tempests which are here threatened, and the Pleiades as ushering in spring. shadow of death--Hebraism for the densest darkness. calleth for the waters of the sea--both to send deluges in judgment, and the ordinary rain in mercy (1Ki 18:44).
