Job 41:23

23 The folds of its flesh cling together; it is firmly cast and immovable.

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 Its breath kindles coals, and a flame comes out of its mouth.

22 In its neck abides strength, and terror dances before it.

23 The folds of its flesh cling together; it is firmly cast and immovable.

24 Its heart is as hard as stone, as hard as the lower millstone.

25 When it raises itself up the gods are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.
