This literal significance of the word does not help, as we know of no constellation figured as a "moth" or bearing any resemblance to one. But the word _‘ash_, or _‘ayish_ does not differ importantly from the word _na‘sh_, in Hebrew "assembly," in Arabic "bier," which has been the word used by the Arabs from remote antiquity to denote the four bright stars in the hind-quarters of the Great Bear; those which form the body of the Plough. Moreover, the three stars which form the "tail" of the Great Bear, or the "handle" of the Plough have been called by the Arabs _benāt na‘sh_, "the daughters of na‘sh." The Bear is the great northern constellation, which swings constantly round the pole, always visible throughout the changing seasons of the year. There should be no hesitation then in accepting the opinion of the Rabbi, Aben Ezra, who saw in _‘Ash_, or _‘Ayish_ the quadrilateral of the great Bear, whose four points are marked by the bright stars, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, and in the "sons" of _‘Ayish_, the three stars, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta. Our Revised Version therefore renders the word as "Bear." In both passages of Job, then, we get the four quarters of the sky marked out as being under the dominion of the Lord. In the ninth chapter they are given in the order-- The Bear, which is in the North; Orion, in its acronical rising, with the sun setting in the West; The Pleiades, in their heliacal rising, with the sun rising in the East; And the Chambers of the South. In the later passage they are given with fuller illustration, and in the order-- The Pleiades, whose "sweet influences" are given by their heliacal rising in spring time, with the sun rising in the East; Orion, whose "bands" are those of winter, heralded by his acronical rising with the sun setting in the West; Mazzaroth, the constellations of the zodiac corresponding to the Chambers of the South, which the sun occupies each in its "season." The Bear with its "sons," who, always visible, are unceasingly guided round the pole in the North. The parallelism in the two passages in Job gives us the right to argue that _‘Ash_ and _‘Ayish_ refer to the same constellation, and are variants of the same name; possibly their vocalization was the same, and they are but two divergent ways of writing the word. We must therefore reject Prof. Schiaparelli's suggestion made on the authority of the Peschitta version of the Scriptures and of Rabbi Jehuda, who lived in the second century A.D., that _‘Ash_ is _‘Iyūthā_ which is Aldebaran, but that _‘Ayish_ and his "sons" may be Capella and her "Kids."
