Senses in use

  1. Binding connection in the Pleiades clause · dominant

    In Job 38:31, the plural construct form occurs in the question about binding the Pleiades; the APB renders the verse, "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?" The form's specific English correspondence cannot be isolated with certainty.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 38:31, the APB presents the clause with "bind the chains of the Pleiades," but its loose, whole-verse wording does not identify a precise English equivalent for the term.
