Influences
infloo-ens-iz (, maadhannoth): This word occurs only in Job 38:31 the King James Version, Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades? the Revised Version (British and American) the cluster of the Pleiades, margin or chain, or sweet influences; Delitzsch, Dillmann and others render fetters, that which binds the group together; influences, if correct, would refer to the seasons, which were believed to be regulated, so far, by the PLEIADES (which see). In The Wisdom of Solomon 7:25, it is said of Wisdom that she is a pure influence (aporrhoia, the Revised Version (British and American) effluence) flowing from the glory of the Almighty.
