Just wondering if anyone knew anything about why God has mentioned these constellations on three different occasions? Here are the verses.
(Job 9:9) who made the Bear, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;
(Job 9:10) who is doing great things past finding out; yea, marvelous things without number?
(Job 38:31) Can you bind the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?
(Job 38:32) Can you bring out the constellations in their season; or can you guide the Bear with its sons?
(Amo 5:6) Seek Jehovah, and live, that He not break out like a fire on the house of Joseph, and consume, and no one is putting it out for Bethel.
(Amo 5:7) He abandoned those who turn justice and righteousness into wormwood on the earth.
(Amo 5:
He who created the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the deep darkness into the morning, and He darkened the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name;
Also, in the very beginning, when God created the heavens He said this:
(Gen 1:14) And God said, Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.
H226

Probably from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.
In the beginning God has set them as a signal, beacon, evidence towards a truth. They should bear witness, a sign, to the Christ. They should point to Him, not to worship the stars, but who they signify or point to.
Just wondering if anyone has any input about these constellations and verses. Thanks.
God bless,
