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.
