Commentary

Commentary on Job 41:13

Theological / Devotional

Discover. Literally, “uncover.”

Face of his garment. Or, “his outer covering.” This seems to refer to his scaly outer coat.

Double bridle. The meaning of this figure is not clear. Some take the sentence to mean, “Who would dare try to place a bridle on him, as on a horse?” Others believe that the “double bridle” refers to his double row of teeth, and that God is asking if anyone would dare come within the range of these teeth. Others adopt a reading based on the Septuagint, which has, “Who can enter within the fold of his breast-plate?”
