Job 41:23

23 The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved.

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 kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth.

22 Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him.

23 The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved.

24 His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower millstone.

25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves.
