Looking for information about Orion, I have repeatedly come across the fact that he is mentioned in the Bible. As an example, I will give an excerpt from the book BIG BIBLE DICTIONARY, Walter Elwell Philip Comfort. Also in this quote, the authors of the book shared their vision of the interpretation of these words.
Quote :
« ORION
A name given in the Septuagint to a well-known constellation thought to be shaped like a girded hunter. There are many legends about this hunter. For example, in Greece they said that he was chained to heaven for unreasonable boasting. In the Semitic countries they believed that he rebelled against God (the Hebrew name of this constellation is translated as “stubborn”, “fool”). Job 9:9 lists the creation of Orion (“Kesil”) as one of God's great acts of nature (see also Amos 5:8). God asks if Job can do what only God can do - untie Orion's belt (Job 38:31-32). The appearance of the Pleiades marks the onset of spring, and Orion the onset of winter, and this change of seasons occurs under the direction of God. Basically, God is asking here if Job can control the seasons. »
Of course, all this made me want to check the information, I found the Bible, and found the lines above in it.
Constellations such as the Pleiades and Ursa Major were also mentioned there.
All this is extremely interesting. But it's not very clear. In the next post I will try to consider these concepts with the help of symbols.
