Contextual Overview
11 Who has gone before Me that I should repay? All under the heavens, it is Mine! 12 I will not keep silent as to his limbs, or the matter of his powers, or the grace of his frame. 13 Who can take off the face of his covering; who can come with his double bridle? 14 Who can pry open the doors of his face? Terror is all around his teeth. 15 The rows of shields are his pride, shut up with a tight seal; 16 one is so near to another that no air can come between them; 17 they are joined to one another; they clasp each other, so that they cannot be separated. 18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are as the eyelids of the dawn. 19 Out of his mouth go burning torches; sparks of fire fly out. 20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils like a boiling pot fired by reeds.

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.
