Job 38:32

_ _ Canst thou bring forth from their places or houses (Mazzaloth, 2 Kings 23:5, Margin; to which Mazzaroth here is equivalent) into the sky the signs of the Zodiac at their respective seasons — the twelve lodgings in which the sun successively stays, or appears, in the sky?

_ _ Arcturus — Ursa Major.

_ _ his sons? — the three stars in his 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
