Here is some interesting information on the Pleiades for you:

The cluster contains thousands of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye. The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years) away.
Did God lose count at 7?

They were perhaps also half-sisters of the Hesperides, who were daughters of either Night alone, or Atlas and Hesperis (`evening'), or Ceto and Phorcys
Apparently the ancient Greeks knew there were 7 stars as well. Are you suggesting they got this information from the Bible?

Binoculars or a small telescope can help others pick them out. City dwellers will find the task difficult in the face of light pollution.
