ki.mah names a celestial object or grouping presented among the works of the maker and in relation to Orion.

    In Amos 5:8 the Proper noun occurs in the clause about the one who made it and Orion. In Job 38:31 the Proper noun is the object whose chains are asked about alongside Orion's cords; in Job 9:9, the common feminine singular absolute form is listed among what is made. The APB renders these clauses with “the Pleiades.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Amos 5:8, Job 38:31, and Job 9:9, the APB presents the term as “the Pleiades.” This rendering is confirmed by the clauses as a whole rather than by a token-level alignment.
