Job 41:16

16 La una está tan cerca de la otra que el aire no puede penetrar entre ellas.

Job 41:16 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:16

One is so near to another, that no air can come between
them.
] This shows that it cannot be understood of the skin of the whale, and the hardness and strength of that, which is alike and of a piece; whereas those scales, or be they what they may, though closely joined, yet are distinct: those who interpret this of whales that have teeth, and these of the teeth, observe, that as they have teeth to the number of forty or fifty in the lower jaw, in the upper one fire holes or sockets into which they go; and they are so very close that no wind or air can come between them F7.

Job 41:16 In-Context

14 ¿Quién abrirá las puertas de sus fauces? Alrededor de sus dientes hay terror.
15 Sus fuertes escamas son su orgullo, cerradas como con apretado sello.
16 La una está tan cerca de la otra que el aire no puede penetrar entre ellas.
17 Unidas están una a la otra; se traban entre sí y no pueden separarse.
18 Sus estornudos dan destellos de luz, y sus ojos son como los párpados del alba.
