Description
Pleiades in the text
The Pleiades are mentioned in three passages in the Bible as an example of God's power and sovereignty over creation. In Job.9.9, they are listed along with the constellations Orion and the Bear as evidence of God's mighty works in the heavens. Later, in Job.38.31, God challenges Job by asking if he can bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion, emphasizing the contrast between divine omnipotence and human limitations. The prophet Amos also mentions the Pleiades in Amo.5.8, where he describes God as the One who made the Pleiades and Orion, and who controls the cycle of day and night and the waters of the earth. These references to the Pleiades serve to highlight God's creative power, wisdom, and sovereign rule over the universe.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
