John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:11

Job 41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine. Ver. 11. Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? ] Who can tax me wath injustice, who am bound to no man, but owner of all things? If any one can say I am beholden to him, let him prove it, and I shall readily requite it, he shall have no cause at all to complain about me as ungrateful, Romans 11:34-35 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:12

Job 41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Ver. 12. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power ] That therein, as in a picture of the most principal piece of my workmanship, thou mayest behold how great and how glorious a God I am. In the year of grace 1577, July 2nd, the shipmen took a whale not far from Antwerp, the picture whereof was printed and published to this effect: His hide was without scales, and of a leaden colour. He was eighty-five feet... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:13

Job 41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle? Ver. 13. Who can discover the face of his garment? ] That is, saith Piscator, who can pull him out of the sea, wherewith he is covered as with a garment? Who can slip off his skin while he is alive, as men do the eel’s skin, say others? Who (as men use to do when horses are to be saddled) will take off his cloth, and set the saddle upon his back? This last is Beza’s paraphrase; and it suits... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:14

Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible round about. Ver. 14. Who can open the doors of his face? ] The two leaved doors of his jaws, to let in a bridle? Samson dared to venture upon a roaring lion and rend him, as a man would rend a kid. But never dared any such thing be done to a whale. His teeth are terrible round about ] The whale’s teeth are said to be 120, each tooth four cubits long. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:15

Job 41:15 [His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal. Ver. 15. His scales are his pride ] They are like so many glistering shields, wherein he puts his confidence and takes his pride; as thinking them impenetrable. Shut up together as with a close seal ] So closed and put together, like paper sealed with wax, as that nothing can part them. The Jews use to write upon the back of their sealed letters, Nun, Cheth, Shin; that is, Niddui, Cherem, and Shemmatha; all... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 41:16

Job 41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. Ver. 16. One is so near to another, that no air, &c. ] One scale or flake is. This is more proper, say some, to the crocodile than to the whale; but who can tell the different kinds of whales, some whereof are said to have great and thick scales close compacted, as here? Quod si squammae Leviathan ita cohaereant, ut earum opere textili densato, &c. (Vide Cocceium in locum). Let the saints strengthen themselves by... read more
