| 'kecil' and 'kimeh' usually appear together((Job 9:9, Job 38:31, Amos 5:8)).

| Job 9 and Job 38 also reference 'yes' which is a possible indication of another constellation located in the same vicinity((please note that the stars are nowhere near each other, they only look like it from our point of view at the location of earth)). The traditional interpretation hence is somewhat more dubious, since Ursa Major is not located close to Orion and the Pleiades. | Job 9 and Job 38 also reference 'yes' which is a possible indication of another constellation located in the same vicinity((please note that the stars are nowhere near each other, they only look like it from our point of view at the location of earth)).
