Contextual Overview
11 Who hath preuented mee that I shoulde make an ende? Al vnder heauen is mine. 12 I will not keepe silence concerning his partes, nor his power nor his comely proportion. 13 Who can discouer the face of his garmet? or who shall come to him with a double bridle? 14 Who shall open the doores of his face? his teeth are fearefull ronnd about. 15 The maiestie of his scales is like strog shields, and are sure sealed. 16 One is set to another, that no winde can come betweene them. 17 One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 His niesings make the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out. 20 Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
