Babylonian wisdom is believed to be reflected in the Hebrew Bible. According to EW Bullinger, the creatures described in the book of Ezekiel correspond to the signs of the four quarters of the zodiac: the Lion, the Ox (Taurus), the Man (Aquarius) and the Eagle (Scorpio). Some authors believe that the twelve tribes of Israel relate to the same signs or the Hebrew lunar calendar of twelve lunar months in a lunar year. Others maintain that the arrangement of the tribes around the Tabernacle (reported in the Book of Numbers) reflects the order of the zodiac signs, with Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan representing Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio, respectively. Thomas Mann reinforced these connections in his novel."
