Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
g Vid. Scheuchzer. ut supra. (Physic. Sacr. vol. 4. p. 848.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 41:16. One is so near to another — It has already been stated, that a musket-ball fired at him in any direction cannot make a passage through his scales.
