Orion

Out of a whirlwind God asks Job: “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?” (Job 38:31). Orion is a group of stars, named in Job 9:9 with Arcturus and the Pleiades, and in Amos 5:8: “Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion.” Each time the stars are shown as something God made, and the people addressed are invited to look up. Isaiah 13:10 mentions the constellations too, in a warning that they will fail to give light.

From Easton's Bible Dictionary

Matthew George Easton, 1897

Heb. Kesil; i.e., “the fool”, the name of a constellation (Job 9:9; 38:31; Amos 5:8) consisting of about eighty stars. The Vulgate renders thus, but the LXX. renders by Hesperus, i.e., “the evening-star,” Venus. The Orientals “appear to have conceived of this constellation under the figure of an impious giant bound upon the sky.” This giant was, according to tradition, Nimrod, the type of the folly that contends against God. In Isa. 13:10 the plural form of the Hebrew word is rendered “constellations.”

From Smith's Bible Dictionary

William Smith, 1884

(the giant), a large and bright constellation of 80 stars, 17 large ones, crossed by the equinoctial line. It is named after a mythical personage of the Greeks, of gigantic stature and "the handsomest man in the world." The Arabs called it" the giant," referring to Nimrod, the mighty hunter who was fabled to have been bound in the sky for his impiety. (Job 9:9) Also alluded to in (Job 38:31)
