Yes… the Book of Genesis tells us that God created the sun, moon, stars, and planets on the fourth day of creation and that they were given by God as signs to help man mark the seasons (time). And although the Bible makes no mention of when these stars and/or groups of stars (constellations) were actually named by man, the Bible does make specific reference to some of them. For instance, the constellations Orion, Big Dipper (the Bear – Ursa Major), and the Pleiades are mentioned twice in the Book of Job (9:9; 38:31-32), the Morning Star (the planet Venus) is prominent in Psalm 110 and in Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews, and most astronomers agree that the beacon which led the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem was not actually a “star,” but a rare occurrence of the planets Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction.
