The word Mazzaroth seems to be the name of another constellation of stars, but it is no longer clear to which constellation this name applies. You could translate this as a general reference. Alternate translation: [Will you bring out the constellations in their time] or [Will you make each of the constellations appear in the sky at the right time]

See how you translated the name Bear in [9:](../09/09.md). The term sons seems to apply to the stars that trail off into the sky from the main part of this constellation. Alternate translation: [Or will you make the Big Dipper and its handle appear in the right place]

Yahweh is speaking of the constellation that this culture called the Bear as if it were a living thing that Job could have guided. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Or will you position the Big Dipper and its handle properly in the sky]

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that would include both male and female young bears. Some languages may have a general term for the offspring of bears that would convey this sense. Other languages may use both the masculine and feminine forms of such a term. Alternate translation: [its cubs]
