What are the astronomical references in the Bible?

Answer 1

Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Amo 5:8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Psa 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Isa 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Oba 1:4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

Answer 2

There are tons. If you are just looking for generalities. There are 55 references to stars and another 15 to star. Moon shows up 67 times and sun 170.

Most of these references are of the level of sophistication of Genesis 1:14-17 which describes the sun, moon, and stars as lights embedded in the firmament. They do, however, point to a knowledge of astrology, if not astronomy, since the lights are said to mark the seasons which implies that key stars or constellations were known and the progression of these constellations through the sky had been linked to the seasons.

Other than that, the bible doesn't say much astronomical.
