Sense 2: constellation

Semantic entry: 1.31

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Subdomains: Heavenly Bodies

Definition: a group of stars

Notes: Normally a constellation may be described as ‘a group of stars’ or ‘a family of stars’ or ‘stars that travel together’ or even ‘stars that live together.’ It is possible, however, to interpret the occurrence of ἄστρον in RV ACT 7:43 · LV ACT 7:43 · Read together ACT 7:43 as being a reference to a particular planet (namely, Saturn) rather than a constellation.
