When Pleiades and other seeder-star maps come into view, I keep Pleiades and Orion and Pleiades in the Talmud as labeled sky sisters.
Pleiades in the Talmud: scripture / sky-lore sister (labeled different layer).
The Talmud connects the flood to the removal of two stars from Kimah, the Pleiades.
I collect these passages on The Pleiades in the Talmud.
The Talmud says God took two stars from the Pleiades when He brought the flood.
The Talmud passages are from the William Davidson Edition on Sefaria (CC BY-NC license), as short excerpts for review and study.
Both the Talmud and Genesis describe a flood tied to the heavens, which raises the question of whether a Taurid impact event could have played a role.
The Talmud connects the start of the Flood to the Pleiades, called Kimah in Hebrew:
In the Talmud, the Flood begins when God takes two stars from the Pleiades.
The Talmud's account of God taking two stars from Kimah could represent a celestial disturbance, such as a fragmenting comet, visible in the sky before the disaster.
In my research into sky lore on this site, I keep coming back to one Hebrew name: Kimah, the Pleiades in the Talmud.
The Talmud does something sharper.
This page stays with those Talmud passages.
I use short verbatim lines from Sefaria (William Davidson Talmud; JPS for the Bible verses), not loose paraphrases.
I am working from the Babylonian Talmud as presented on Sefaria, mainly Berakhot, Rosh Hashanah, and Bava Metzia, plus the biblical Kimah verses in Job and Amos.
This article does not import channeling claims into the Talmud text.
The Talmud asks why Pleiades is called Kimah.
That is the naming beat I want under the phrase Pleiades in the Talmud: Kimah as a crowded cluster, not only a Greek myth label.
I map that Pleiades-Orion pairing across cultures on Pleiades and Orion, including a Talmud/Kimah row; this page stays with the Talmud cites themselves.
On this site the same Talmud two-star Flood image already appears in flood research notes.
So Kimah also works as a practical calendar marker in the Talmud, not only as Flood mythology.
Those verses are the backbone the Talmud is arguing with.
For Pleiades in the Talmud, I stay with Kimah: naming, climate balance, Flood two stars, and the planting-sky marker.
I do not fold channeling Pleiadian claims into these Talmud quotes.
Stars and constellations in the Old Testament: Job and Amos Kimah verses the Talmud argues with.
Pleiades and Orion: cultural Pleiades-Orion table with a Talmud/Kimah row.
Was Nuh one of the last inheritors of advanced knowledge before the flood: already cites Talmud two stars from Kimah.
The Pleiadians: Seven Sisters foil; keep Talmud cites separate.
What does the Talmud say about the Pleiades?It calls them Kimah, explains the name, balances Kimah's cold with Orion's heat (Berakhot 58b), ties the Flood to two stars taken from Kimah (Berakhot 59a; Rosh Hashanah 11b-12a), and uses Kimah overhead as a planting-season marker (Bava Metzia 106b).
Is Kimah the same as the Pleiades?In traditional Talmud study and in Sefaria's William Davidson English, Kimah is rendered as Pleiades.
This was the time which the Talmud states was the setting of the Pleiades below the horizon, when the Holy Land was moved into a "region of terrible cold" for many generations—actually for 5,000 years until Noah’s flood, 6,500 years ago.
Related sky lore sits on Pleiades in the Talmud and Pleiades and Orion.
Pleiades in the Talmud: related Jewish sky lore (Kimah), kept separate from Daniel 3’s furnace scene.
The Western nations departed from this rule, and in these modern days we are beginning to realize the dangers of this article of food, on account of the trichina contained in it; and when we turn to the Talmud, we are told that it was forbidden to the Jews, "because of a small insect which infests it."
In the ancient language of the Hindoos, the Sanscrit--which has been a dead language for twenty-two hundred years--the magnet was called "the precious stone beloved of Iron." The Talmud speaks of it as "the stone of attraction;" and it is alluded to in the early Hebrew prayers as Kalamitah, the same name given it by the Greeks, from the reed upon which the compass floated.
Two of these, Babel and Erech, are the first two capitals of Nimrod, and the last one, Nipur, according to the Talmud, is the same as Calneh the fourth city of Nimrod.
He noted that the real Old Testament comprises three core writings: the Torah, the Talmud, and the Zohar (the mystery teachings or Kabbalah).
The Talmud, for instance, forbade pork because of "a small insect which infests it."
Title: Legends of Old Testament Characters, from the Talmud and Other SourcesAuthor: Rev.
These stories are drawn from the Talmud and various other sources.

In a passage unrelated to the curse on Canaan, the sixth-century Babylonian Talmud says that Ham and his descendants were cursed with black skin, which modern scholars have interpreted as an etiological myth for skin color.
Rosh Hashanah 11b: The Talmud mentions that during the flood in Noah’s time, the Holy One moved two stars from Pleiades (“Kimah”), causing the floodwaters to descend.
