This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
sweet influences - the joy diffused by spring, the time when the Pleiades appear. The Eastern poets, Hafiz, Sadi, etc., describe them as “brilliant rosettes.” Gesenius translates: “bands” or “knot,” which answers better the parallelism. But English Version agrees better with the Hebrew. The seven stars are closely “bound” together (see on Job 9:9). “Canst thou bind or loose the tie?” “Canst thou loose the bonds by which the constellation Orion (represented in the East as an impious giant chained to the sky) is held fast?” (See on Job 9:9).
