Koukab or kokob (singular), Kokabim or kolaubeam (plural). Masculine noun: star or stars. Kolob may denote a planet or black hole that appears to be a star due to distance, likely at the center of a galaxy, as Abraham describes our star in its orbit. Some Latter-day Saints have speculated that it is the Dog Star, others consider Kolob a planet. According to the Book of Abraham, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God, and is used and an example of Jesus Christ.
