Amos 5:8; Job 9:9, 38:31, in which last passage, by a like image הַחְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנּוֹת כִּימָה “hast thou fastened together the bands of the Pleiades?” More allusions are given by Th. Hyde on Ulugh-Beigh’s Tabb. page 32, Niebuhr’s Arabia, p. 114, Ideler, üb. Ursprung und Bedeutung der Sternnamen, p. 146.
