Jó 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.

Jó 41:16 In-Context

14 Quem ousa abrir as portas de sua boca,cercada com seus dentes temíveis?

15 Suas costas possuem fileiras de escudosfirmemente unidos;

16 cada um está tão junto do outroque nem o ar passa entre eles;

17 estão tão interligadosque é impossível separá-los.

18 Seu forte sopro atira lampejos de luz;seus olhos são como os raios da alvorada.
