It is used in the context of celestial bodies and their movements, which were often associated with the passage of time and seasons in ancient cultures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the stars and constellations were significant for both practical and religious reasons. They were used to mark seasons and times for agricultural and religious festivals. The constellations were often associated with deities and mythologies, and their movements were believed to influence earthly events. However, the Hebrew Bible consistently emphasizes that the stars are part of God's creation and under His sovereign control, countering any notion of them having independent power or influence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps a constellation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>constellation (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַזָּרוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine] plural</b></font> probably = <font class="hebrew2">מַזָּלוֺת</font> q. v. above (on <font class="hebrew2">ר</font> = <font class="hebrew2">ל</font> see W<sup>SG 67</sup>, yet also Nö<sup>ZMG xi.1886,185</sup>) only <font class="hebrew2">בְּעִתּוֺ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הֲתֹצִיא מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/38-32.htm">Job 38:32</a>, where treated as masculine singular, and perhaps understood of some particular star or constellation. <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">μαζουρωθ</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מִזְרָח</font> see <font class="hebrew2">זרח</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מְזָרִים</font> see <font class="hebrew2">זרה</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el 1.</b></font> <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מִזְרָע</font>] see I. <font class="hebrew2">זרע</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מִזְרָק</font> see <font class="hebrew2">זרק</font>. <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מֵחַ</font>], <font class="hebrew2">מֹחַ</font> see <font class="hebrew2">מחח</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Mazzoroth <p>Apparently from <a href="/hebrew/5144.htm">nazar</a> in the sense of distinction; some noted constellation (only in the plural), perhaps collectively, the zodiac -- Mazzoroth.
