Świeci się za nim droga jego, a czyni przepaść jako siwiznę.
Za sobą jasną ścieszkę czyni, tak, że się zdaje, iż przepaść ma siwiznę.
Fałdy jego cielska łączą się ze sobą, są na nim jakby odlane, nieruchome.
Jak kocioł spienia głębię, a morze przeistacza jakby w wrzątek.
Za sobą jasną ścieszkę czyni, tak, że się zdaje, iż przepaść ma siwiznę.
Warstwy jego ciała są spojone, tak twarde, że się nie poruszają.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The flakes of his flesh are joined together,.... The muscles of his hefty are not flaccid and flabby, but solid and firmly compacted;
they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved; that is, not very easily, not without a large sharp cutting knife, and that used with much strength.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The flakes of his flesh are joined together - Margin, âfallings.â The Hebrew word used here means anything âfalling,â or âpendulous,â and the reference here is, probably, to the pendulous parts of the flesh of the animal; the flabby parts; the dew-laps. In animals commonly these parts about the neck and belly are soft, pendulous, and contribute little to their strength. The meaning here is, that in the leviathan, instead of being thus flabby and pendulous, they were compact and firm. This is strikingly true of the crocodile. The belly is, indeed, more soft and penetrable than the other parts of the body, but there is nothing like the soft and pendulous dew-laps of most animals.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 41:23. The flakes of his flesh — His muscles are strongly and firmly compacted.
