      ash or pine, the son of Jerahmeel (1 Chr. 2:25).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Orion
      Heb. Kesil; i.e., "the fool", the name of a constellation (Job
      9:9; 38:31; Amos 5:8) consisting of about eighty stars. The
      Vulgate renders thus, but the LXX. renders by Hesperus, i.e.,
      "the evening-star," Venus. The Orientals "appear to have
      conceived of this constellation under the figure of an impious
      giant bound upon the sky." This giant was, according to
      tradition, Nimrod, the type of the folly that contends against
      God. In Isa. 13:10 the plural form of the Hebrew word is
      rendered "constellations."
