THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Book of Job (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

26:13 His obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent: That is, the omnipotent power of God: which brought forth all things created in time, but conceived in the Divine mind from all eternity. The winding serpent, a constellation of fixed stars winding round the north pole, called Draco. This appears from the foregoing part of the same verse, His spirit hath adorned the heavens.
