Arcturus
bear-keeper
,
the
name
given
by
the
ancients
to
the
brightest
star
in
the
constellation
Bootes
.
In
the
Authorized
Version
(
Job
9:9; 38:32)
it
is
the
rendering
of
the
Hebrew
word
_'ash_,
which
probably
designates
the
constellation
the
Great
Bear
.
This
word
('
ash
)
is
supposed
to
be
derived
from
an
Arabic
word
meaning
night-watcher
,
because
the
Great
Bear
always
revolves
about
the
pole
,
and
to
our
nothern
hemisphere
never
sets
.
