Constellations

Job 9:9 - He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

Some think the book of Job may be older; that is, written earlier than any other book of the Bible. Whether or not, I still wonder what the Hebrew literally says in this verse. I think the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades were only named as such long after this book was written. If the Hebrew really uses these words, I wonder if they refer to the same things that we mean today.
