Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary - Job 40:17 - 40:17


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

like a cedar - As the tempest bends the cedar, so it can move its smooth thick tail [Umbreit]. But the cedar implies straightness and length, such as do not apply to the river horse’s short tail, but perhaps to an extinct species of animal (see on Job 40:15).

stones - rather, “thighs.”

wrapped - firmly twisted together, like a thick rope.
