Job 41:1 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

XLI.

(1) Leviathan. — There can be little doubt that by this is meant the crocodile or alligator, whatever may be the true meaning of behemoth.

Or his tongue... — Some render, “or press down his tongue with a cord”; but the Authorised Version seems preferable.

Job 41:1

1 Canst thou draw out leviathana with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
