the bible says the stars are there to to help us mark time and the seasons. also they're there just to help men navigate
basically men attributed the things they used the stars for, as given by god. the bible is the first
The Bible also teaches that God arranged the stars into recognizable groups that we call constellations. The Bible mentions three of these: Orion, the Bear (Ursa Major), and the crooked serpent (most likely Draco) in Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8. The same passages also reference the star group Pleiades (the Seven Stars). God is the One Who fastens the bands of these constellations; He is the One who brings them forth, each in its season. In Job 38:32, God also points to the Mazzaroth, usually translated constellations. This is thought by many to be a reference to the twelve constellations of the zodiac.
The constellations have been tracked and studied for millennia. The Egyptians and Greeks knew of the zodiac and used it to measure the beginning of spring centuries before Christ. Much has been written of the meaning of the zodiacal constellations, including theories that they comprise an ancient display of Gods redemptive plan. For example, the constellation Leo can be seen as a celestial depiction of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), and Virgo could be a reminder of the virgin who bore Christ. However, the Bible does not indicate any hidden meaning for these or other constellations.
The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for signs and seasons (Genesis 1:14); that is, they were meant to mark time for us. They are also signs in the sense of navigational indicators, and all through history men have used the stars to chart their courses around the globe.
