The imagery of tightly knit scales suggests invulnerability and strength, emphasizing the creature's formidable nature. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such descriptions would resonate with the audience's understanding of powerful sea creatures or mythological beasts. The close proximity of the scales can also be seen as a metaphor for the unity and strength of God's creation, reflecting His power and wisdom. This imagery is echoed in other biblical passages that describe creatures with impenetrable defenses, such as the behemoth in <a href="/job/40-15.htm">Job 40:15-24</a>.<p><b>that no air can pass between them.</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the perfection and completeness of Leviathan's armor, symbolizing an impenetrable defense. In a broader theological context, it can be seen as a representation of the futility of human efforts against the forces of chaos without divine intervention. The impenetrability of the scales can also be interpreted as a reflection of God's unassailable nature and the futility of opposing His will. This imagery is consistent with other biblical themes where God's protection is described as a shield or fortress, as seen in Psalms 18:2 and 91:4. The idea of no air passing between the scales can also symbolize the completeness and sufficiency of God's creation, where everything is perfectly ordered and nothing is left to chance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man of great faith and patience, who undergoes severe trials and questions God's justice.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/l/leviathan.htm">Leviathan</a></b><br>A powerful sea creature described in <a href="/bsb/job/41.htm">Job 41</a>, symbolizing chaos and strength beyond human control.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The Almighty, who speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, highlighting His sovereignty and the limits of human understanding.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a></b><br>Often a symbol of chaos and danger in ancient Near Eastern literature, representing forces beyond human control.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_whirlwind.htm">The Whirlwind</a></b><br>The medium through which God speaks to Job, emphasizing His power and majesty.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>The description of Leviathan's scales illustrates God's unmatched power and control over creation.
