Contextual Overview
11 I owe nothing to anyone. Everything under heaven belongs to me. 12 "I will tell you about Leviathan's legs, his strength, and his graceful shape. 13 No one can pierce his skin. It is like armor! 14 No one can force him to open his jaws. The teeth in his mouth scare people. 15 His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together. 16 They are so close to each other that no air can pass between them. 17 The shields are joined to each other. They hold together so tightly that they cannot be pulled apart. 18 When Leviathan sneezes, it is like lightning flashing out. His eyes shine like the light of dawn. 19 Burning torches come from his mouth. Sparks of fire shoot out. 20 Smoke pours from his nose like burning weeds under a boiling pot.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 g.
