Job 41:18 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

By his neesings a light doth shine— Literally, His sneezings cause the light to sparkle. The next clause gives as great an image of the thing it would express, says Dr. Young, as can enter the thought of man. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. The eyes of the crocodile were used as a hieroglyphick by the ancient Egyptians, to denote the rising of the sun; because, says Horapollo, when it emerges from the river, its eyes are the first part of the body which becomes visible.
