1 | is it animal? | Job | eklektos | 154885 | ||
Hello csk_trk, Here is more information about your question: "...the crocodile be established as the "leviathan", and the behemoth as the river horse, the transition from the one to the other would appear very easy; since, as Pliny says, there is a sort of a kindred between them, being of the same river, the river Nile, and so may be thought to be better known to Job than the whale; though it is not to be concealed what Pliny says, that whales have been seen in the Arabian seas; he speaks of one that came into the river of Arabia, six hundred feet long, and three hundred and sixty broad. There are some things in the description of this creature that seem to agree best with the crocodile, and others that suit better with the whale, and some with neither..." (John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible) Looking at the Scriptures in another version. (Contemporary English Version) Job 41:1 Can you catch a sea monster by using a fishhook? Can you tie its mouth shut with a rope? Job 41:2 Can it be led around by a ring in its nose or a hook in its jaw? Job 41:3 Will it beg for mercy? Job 41:4 Will it surrender as a slave for life? Job 41:5 Can it be tied by the leg like a pet bird for little girls? Job 41:6 Is it ever chopped up and its pieces bargained for in the fish-market? Job 41:7 Can it be killed with harpoons or spears? Job 41:8 Wrestle it just once-- that will be the end. Job 41:9 Merely a glimpse of this monster makes all courage melt. Job 41:10 And if it is too fierce for anyone to attack, who would dare oppose me? Job 41:11 I am in command of the world and in debt to no one. Job 41:12 What powerful legs, what a stout body this monster possesses! Job 41:13 Who could strip off its armor or bring it under control with a harness? Job 41:14 Who would try to open its jaws, full of fearsome teeth? Job 41:15 Its back is covered with shield after shield, Job 41:16 firmly bound and closer together Job 41:17 than breath to breath. Job 41:18 When this monster sneezes, lightning flashes, and its eyes glow like the dawn. Job 41:19 Sparks and fiery flames explode from its mouth. Job 41:20 And smoke spews from its nose like steam from a boiling pot, Job 41:21 while its blazing breath scorches everything in sight. Job 41:22 Its neck is so tremendous that everyone trembles, Job 41:23 the weakest parts of its body are harder than iron, Job 41:24 and its heart is stone. Job 41:25 When this noisy monster appears, even the most powerful turn and run in fear. Job 41:26 No sword or spear can harm it, Job 41:27 and weapons of bronze or iron are as useless as straw or rotten wood. Job 41:28 Rocks thrown from a sling cause it no more harm than husks of grain. This monster fears no arrows, Job 41:29 it simply smiles at spears, and striking it with a stick is like slapping it with straw. Job 41:30 As it crawls through the mud, its sharp and spiny hide tears the ground apart. Job 41:31 And when it swims down deep, the sea starts churning like boiling oil, Job 41:32 and it leaves behind a trail of shining white foam. Job 41:33 No other creature on earth is so fearless. Job 41:34 It is king of all proud creatures, and it looks upon the others as nothing. "...To convince Job of his own weakness he is here challenged to subdue and tame this leviathan if he can, and make himself master of him, and, since he cannot do this, he must own himself utterly unable to stand before the great God..." (Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible) by Grace, eklektos |
