The imagery of a "glistening wake" suggests a path of light or brilliance, emphasizing the creature's majesty and strength. In biblical context, the Leviathan is often seen as a symbol of chaos and power, representing forces that are beyond human control. This imagery can be connected to the idea of God's sovereignty over creation, as He alone can tame such a creature. The glistening wake may also symbolize the impact of divine presence, leaving a mark that is both awe-inspiring and fearsome.<p><b>one would think the deep had white hair!</b><br>The metaphor of the deep having "white hair" suggests the foamy, turbulent waters stirred by the Leviathan's passage. This vivid imagery conveys the immense power and disturbance caused by the creature, likening it to the frothy appearance of white hair. In a broader biblical context, white hair is often associated with wisdom and age, as seen in descriptions of God or divine beings (e.g., <a href="/daniel/7-9.htm">Daniel 7:9</a>, <a href="/revelation/1-14.htm">Revelation 1:14</a>). This connection may imply that the Leviathan's movement through the deep is not only powerful but also carries a sense of ancient, untamed wisdom. The phrase underscores the theme of God's unmatched authority over creation, as even the most formidable forces of nature are under His command.<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 the untamable forces of nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The Creator, who speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, highlighting His sovereignty and the limitations of human understanding.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_deep.htm">The Deep</a></b><br>Refers to the sea or ocean, representing the vast and mysterious aspects of creation.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wake.htm">The Wake</a></b><br>The trail left behind by Leviathan, illustrating its power and majesty.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>The description of Leviathan serves as a reminder of God's unmatched power and control over all creation, including the most formidable forces.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/human_limitations_and_humility.htm">Human Limitations and Humility</a></b><br>Job's encounter with God's description of Leviathan highlights the limitations of human understanding and the need for humility before God's wisdom.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_majesty_of_god's_creation.htm">The Majesty of God's Creation</a></b><br>The imagery of the glistening wake and the deep with "white hair" invites us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of God's creation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_ultimate_victory.htm">Trust in God's Ultimate Victory</a></b><br>Leviathan, as a symbol of chaos, points to the assurance that God will ultimately triumph over all forms of evil and disorder.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_job_41.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Job 41</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_supports_leviathan_in_job_41.htm">In light of lacking physical evidence or fossil records, what historical or archaeological support exists for Leviathan in Job 41?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_job_7_12_imply_myth_over_history.htm">In Job 7:12, why does Job reference the sea or a monstrous creature (possibly Leviathan)--and does this suggest any mythological element at odds with a strictly historical reading of Scripture?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_god_allow_babies_to_suffer.htm">Why does God allow babies to be born with painful, fatal diseases if He knits them in the womb (Psalm 139:13)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_is_elihu_in_the_bible.htm">Who is Elihu in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/41.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 32.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.</span> He leaves a white trail behind him as he passes from sand-bank to sand-bank through the shallows.
