The Pleiades cluster is mentioned in the book of Job.

And in the book of Amos:

“Seek him that maketh the seven stars (the Pleiades) and Orion,” 5:8.

Some believe the seven stars in Jesus’ hand Rev. one, has its basis in the Pleiades.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The passage in Job, written about 4,000 years ago, actually makes a testable scientific claim:

"Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion?" Job 38:31

The context is God "taunting" Job by pointing out an enormous list of things He has done that Job cannot. Here, God claims to have bound the Pleiades and the cord--that is, the stars comprising the belt--of Orion. He is stating they are gravitationally bound to one another, not merely appearing to be close together, as when a brighter star that is farther away appears near a star that is intrinsically dimmer, but are actually close enough to be grabbed by one another.

That is a claim that could not be tested until the 20th Century, when telescopes finally became powerful enough to determine the truth of that claim. They verified it. As such, it stands as a powerful proof, though far, far from unique, of the Bible's thorough accuracy.
