Verse 9. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South.
In the verse immediately before, we heard of the power of God in stretching out the heavens; and in this we have his excellent skill, and infinite wisdom displayed in adorning, decking and beautifying those heavens which he had stretched forth. He hath not only drawn out a vast piece of work,1 like a large Canopy (such are the heavens) but he hath embroidered this Canopy, and set it with rich sparkling stones; he hath made several engravings, images, figures, and representations upon it.
