He maketh Arcturus and Orion, &c. They have great power, but it is the Lord that maketh them.1 That word [He maketh] doth not so much signify the Creation, as the providential disposition of the stars, as was noted in the Exposition of it. He maketh them, that is, he orders and disposeth them, or he acts the stars, he trims up those lamps of heaven; the word is so used (2 Sam. 19.24.) Mephibosheth, while David was in trouble, had not dressed his feet; ⟨p. 218⟩the Hebrew is, He had not made his feet, that is, he had neglected his body; now (saith Job) the Lord is he that makes, dresses, or trims up those lamps of heaven: though they have a natural virtue, yet that virtue is quickened by providence. Providence is a continued creation. He maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades.
