Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Canst thou bring forth (into the sky) the signs of the Zodiac at their respective seasons-the twelve lodgings [Mazalowt, in the Hebrew, 2 Kings 23:5, mazaalowt, being equivalent to mazaarowt (H4216), Mazzaroth, here-namely, stopping-places] in which the sun successively stays, or appears in the sky?
Arcturus, х `Ayish (H5906)] - Ursa Major.
His sons - the three stars in its tail. Canst thou make them appear in the sky? (Job 9:9.) The great and less Bear are called by the Arabs 'Daughters of the Bier,' the quadrangle being the bier, the three others the mourners.
