in´floo-ens-iz (מעדנּות, ma‛ădhannōth):

This word occurs only in Job 38:31 the King James Version, “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?” the Revised Version (British and American) “the cluster of the Pleiades,” margin “or chain, or sweet influences”; Delitzsch, Dillmann and others render “fetters,” that which binds the group together; “influences,” if correct, would refer to the seasons, which were believed to be regulated, so far, by the Pleiades (which see). In The Wisdom of Solomon 7:25, it is said of Wisdom that she is “a pure influence (apórrhoia, the Revised Version (British and American) “effluence”) flowing from the glory of the Almighty.”
