This here story is all about that Kimah constellation thing up in the sky. You know, them sparkly things you see at night? Well, some folks call one bunch of ’em Kimah. It’s like a little group of stars all huddled together, like a bunch of chickens in a coop.
What’s Kimah Anyways?
Now, I ain’t no fancy scientist, but I hear tell this Kimah is what some folks call the Pleiades. Sounds like a sickness, don’t it? But nah, it’s just stars. These stars, they’re real far away. We can’t even count that high. They stick together like glue. It looks like a cluster to me.
Some folks, they look up at the sky and see all sorts of things. They see that Kimah, and they think about that God created the Heaven and the Earth. This Kimah thing, it’s been up there a long, long time. Longer than me, that’s for sure.
Stars in the Sky
- Them stars, they just hang up there.
- They don’t fall down or nothin’.
- God, he put ’em up there, I reckon.
- They shine so bright.
- You can see that Kimah constellation even when it’s real dark out.
Old folks used to use the stars to tell when to plant and when to harvest. They didn’t have no fancy machines like we got today. They just looked up at the sky and saw that Kimah constellation, and they knew what time of year it was. It’s like a big clock up in the sky.
I heard some fella say that there’s some old book called Job, got some words about that Kimah. And then there’s a fella Amos, he said somethin’ about it too. They’re all old-timers, talkin’ about that Kimah constellation.
The Earth and the Sky
The Earth is big, ain’t it? And the sky is even bigger. It’s like a big blanket stretched out over us. Some folks say the Earth is like a floor, and the sky is like a big tent. It’s all held up by somethin’, but I don’t know what. That God, he’s somethin’ else, ain’t he?
They say the stars are on the Earth, it’s just that they are far away. It’s like the moon and the sun, all up in the sky. People didn’t think about planets, they just knew about the Earth. And that’s all right, ’cause the Earth is where we live. We don’t need to worry about them other places.
There are many stars in the sky. They are pretty to look at. Some look close together, some are far apart. That Kimah constellation, it’s one of them groups that’s all close together. It’s like a family of stars, all huddled up.
The Old Book
That old book, the Bible, it talks about the stars. It don’t say much about that Kimah constellation by name, but it talks about stars and the sky. It says God made it all. That’s good enough for me.
The Bible might not use the word “planet,” but it describes the Earth and everything. It says God made the heavens and the Earth, and that’s it. Everything else, like the sun, moon, and stars, are ON the Earth. That’s what the old book says, and that’s good enough for me.
- The Bible says God made everything.
- It talks about the sky and the stars.
- It’s an old book with lots of stories.
- The Bible say the Earth is set on its foundations.
Kimah in the Bible
The old book, it’s got some parts that talk about this Kimah thing. One part, it’s in Job 9:9. Another part is in Job 38:31. And then there’s Amos 5:8. All them old-timers knew about that Kimah constellation.
Some folks say Kimah means “a cluster.” That makes sense, ’cause them stars are all clustered together. It’s like they’re holdin’ hands up there in the sky. It’s a sight to see, that’s for sure.
That Kimah, it’s a cluster, like a heap of somethin’. Some folks say it’s like a hen with her chicks, all gathered around. That’s a good way to think about it.
The Bible mentions that Kimah. That means it’s important, right? God put it there, and He put it in the book. So we should pay attention to it, I reckon.
That’s all I know about that Kimah constellation. It’s just stars, but it’s somethin’ special. It’s been up there for a long time, and it’ll be up there long after I’m gone. It’s a reminder that there’s somethin’ bigger than us out there. Somethin’ powerful and mysterious. And that’s all right by me.
