He calleth them all by name;

By the greatness of His might,

And for that He is strong in power,

Not one is lacking.”

We have the same evidence in Psalm cxlvii. 4. (r.v.)

“He telleth the number of the stars;

He giveth them all their names.”

Here is a distinct and Divine declaration that the great Creator both numbered as well as named the stars of Heaven.

The question is, Has he revealed any of these names? Have any of them been handed down to us?

The answer is Yes; and that in the Bible itself we have the names (so ancient that their meaning is a little obscure) of Ash (עָשׁ, a name still connected with the Great Bear), Cesil (כְּסִיל), and Cimah (כִּימָה).
