Job 41:20 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. — The last word is uncertain: it is the same as was rendered in the Authorised Version “hook” at Job 41:2; and taking the same sense here, we may render, as of a seething pot and rushes: i.e., a pot made hot with rushes.
