Job 41:23

23 There is not a weak spot in his skin; it is as hard and unyielding as iron.

Job 41:23 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:23

The flakes of his flesh are joined together
The muscles of his hefty are not flaccid and flabby, but solid and firmly compacted;

they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved;
that is, not very easily, not without a large sharp cutting knife, and that used with much strength.

Job 41:23 In-Context

21 His breath starts fires burning; flames leap out of his mouth.
22 His neck is so powerful that all who meet him are terrified.
23 There is not a weak spot in his skin; it is as hard and unyielding as iron.
24 His stony heart is without fear, as unyielding and hard as a millstone.
25 When he rises up, even the strongest are frightened; they are helpless with fear.
