First, in plain English
The King James rendering of a Hebrew word in Job. It most likely means the Great Bear, not the star we now call Arcturus.
Who this is
Arcturus is not a person but the King James rendering of a Hebrew word in Job 9:9 and 38:32 that most likely designates the constellation now called Ursa Major, the Great Bear, rather than the star Arcturus itself; the verses point to God's authority over the fixed courses of the constellations.
