Contextual Overview
11 Who hath forestalled me, that I may repay him? Under all the heavens, mine it is! 12 I will not pass by in silence his parts, or the matter of strength, or the grace of his armour. 13 Who hath removed his outer garment, through his double row of teeth, who would enter? 14 The doors of his face, who hath opened? The circles of his teeth, are a terror! 15 A pride, are his arched sides, closed up, with a firm seal; 16 One to another, they join, and, air, cannot enter between them; 17 Each to its fellow, they cleave, they grasp each other, and cannot be parted; 18 His sneezings, flash forth light, and, his eyes, are like the eyelashes of the dawn; 19 Out of his mouth, torches dart forth, sparks of fire, escape; 20 Out of his nostrils, proceedeth smoke, like a blown pot and rushes;

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. This shows that it cannot be understood of the skin of the whale, and the hardness and strength of that, which is alike and of a piece; whereas those scales, or be they what they may, though closely joined, yet are distinct: those who interpret this of whales that have teeth, and these of the teeth, observe, that as they have teeth to the number of forty or fifty in the lower jaw, in the upper one fire holes or sockets into which they go; and they are so very close that no wind or air can come between them g.
