The words Bear, Orion, and Pleiades are the names of constellations of stars in the sky. Your culture may have its own terms for these constellations. Alternate translation: “the Big Dipper, the Hunter, and the Seven Sisters”

People in this culture believed that God kept natural forces in chambers. For example, Psalm 19:4–5 says that God has “pitched a tent for the sun” in the sky, from which the sun comes forth “like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber.” Psalm 135:7 refers similarly to God bringing the wind out of his “storehouses.” In Job 37:9, Elihu says that “the storm comes from its chamber.” So the reference here to the chambers of the south is likely to a place where, it was believed, God kept all the constellations of stars and from which God brought them out each night. You could retain the reference to these chambers in your translation and it may seem like a figure of speech to your readers. Alternatively, you could state the meaning plainly. Job is likely referring to the constellations themselves by association with their chambers. Alternate translation: “and all the other constellations”
9:9 The Bear (also at 38:32) is commonly identified as Arcturus but might also refer to the constellations of Ursa Minor or Leo.
• The Pleiades is a group of seven stars (38:31; Amos 5:8).
