Contextual Overview
11Who has brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] Mine. 12I do not keep silent concerning his parts, || And the matter of might, || And the grace of his arrangement. 13Who has uncovered the face of his clothing? Who enters within his double bridle? 14Who has opened the doors of his face? Around his teeth [are] terrible. 15A pride—strong ones of shields, || Shut up—a close seal. 16They draw near to one another, || And air does not enter between them.17They adhere to one another, || They stick together and are not separated. 18His sneezings cause light to shine, || And his eyes [are] as the eyelids of the dawn. 19Flames go out of his mouth, sparks of fire escape. 20Smoke goes forth out of his nostrils, || As a blown pot and reeds.

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.
