kimah. The Hebrew signifies lit . '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; Job 38:31 . The same Hebrew word is translated SEVEN STARS in Amos 5:8 . There are many stars in the group, but seven are visible to the naked eye. Job 38:31 is better translated, "Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?"
