Cross-References
At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,
The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.
In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt!
I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
The dream was repeated to Pharaoh because the matter has been decreed by God, and God will make it happen soon.
"So now Pharaoh should look for a wise and discerning man and give him authority over all the land of Egypt.

Now Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, came down to meet the king. From the day the king had left until the day he safely returned, Mephibosheth had not cared for his feet nor trimmed his mustache nor washed his clothes.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Who can open the doors of his face?.... Of his mouth, the jaws thereof, which are like a pair of folding doors: the jaws of a crocodile have a prodigious opening. Peter Martyr u speaks of one, whose jaws opened seven feet broad; and Leo Africanus w affirms he saw some, whose jaws, when opened, would hold a whole cow. To the wideness of the jaws of this creature Martial x alludes; and that the doors or jaws of the mouth of the whale are of a vast extent will be easily believed by those who suppose that was the fish which swallowed Jonah;
his teeth are terrible round about; this may seem to make against the whale, the common whale having none; though the "ceti dentati" are a sort of whales that have many teeth in the lower jaw, white, large, solid, and terrible y. Olaus Magnus z speaks of some that have jaws twelve or fourteen feet long; and teeth of six, eight, and twelve feet; and there is a sort called "trumpo", having teeth resembling those of a mill a. In the spermaceti whale are rows of fine ivory teeth in each jaw, about five or six inches long b. But of the crocodile there is no doubt; which has two rows of teeth, very sharp and terrible, and to the number of sixty c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Who can open the doors of his face? - His mouth. The same term is sti 1 used to denote the mouth - from its resemblance to a door. The idea is, that no one would dare to force open his mouth. This agrees better with the crocodile than almost any other animal. It would not apply to the whale. The crocodile is armed with a more formidable set of teeth than almost any other animal; see the description in the notes at Job 41:1. Bochart says that it has sixty teeth, and those much larger than in proportion to the size of the body. Some of them, he says, stand out; some of them are serrated, or like a saw, fitting into each other when the mouth is closed; and some come together in the manner of a comb, so that the grasp of the animal is very tenacious and fearful; see a full description in Bochart.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 41:14. The doors of his face? — His jaws which are most tremendous.
