Contextual Overview

¹¹ Or who hath geuen me any thyng aforehande, that I may rewarde him againe? All thinges vnder heauen are myne. ¹² I wyll not keepe secrete his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion. ¹³ Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who shall come to him with a double brydle? ¹⁴ Who shall open the doores of his face? for he hath horrible teeth round about. ¹⁵ His scales are as it were strong shieldes, so fastened together as if they were sealed: ¹⁶ One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: ¹⁷ Yea, one hangeth so vpon another, & sticketh so together, that they can not be sundred. ¹⁸ His neesinges make a glistering like fyre, and his eyes lyke the morning shine. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go torches, and sparkes of fire leape out. ²⁰ And out of his nostrels there goeth a smoke, lyke as out of an hotte seething pot, or caldron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold,.... It is either broken by striking at him, or however cannot pierce him and stick in him; but since a sword is not used in fishery, rather the harpagon or harpoon may be meant, which cannot enter into the crocodile, being so fenced with scales; but the whale being struck with it, it enters deep into his flesh, and is wounded by it; wherefore this and what follows in the next verses seems best to agree with the crocodile, or some other fish;

the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon; that is, neither of these can fasten upon him or enter into him: and yet it is certain that the whale, after he has been struck and wounded by the harping-iron, men approach nearer to him and thrust a long steeled lance or spear under his gills into his breast, and through the intestines, which dispatches him: darts are not made use of in the whale fishery; and as for crocodiles, as Peter Martyr says c, they are not to be pierced with darts: the habergeon, or coat of mail, being a defensive piece of armour, seems not to be designed, as being never used in taking such creatures; rather therefore a javelin or hand dart may be intended; since, as Bochart observes, in the Arabic language such an one is expressed by this word.

c Apud Bochart. Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 5. c. 17. col. 785.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sword of him that layeth at him - The word “sword” here (חרב chereb) means undoubtedly “harpoon,” or a sharp instrument by which an attempt is made to pierce the skin of the monster.

Cannot hold - That is, in the hard skin. It does not penetrate it.

The spear, the dart - These were doubtless often used in the attempt to take the animal. The meaning is, that “they” would not hold or stick to the animal. They flew off when hurled at him.

Nor the habergeon - Margin, “breastplate.” Noyes, “javelin.” Prof. Lee, “lance.” Vulgate, “thorax, breastplate.” So the Septuagint, θώρακα thōraka. The word used here (שׁריה shiryâh), the same as שׁריון shiryôn 1 Samuel 17:5, 1 Samuel 17:38; Neh 4:16; 2 Chronicles 26:14, means properly a “coat of mail,” and is so called from its shining - from שׁרה shârâh, “to shine.” It is not used in the sense of spear or javelin elsewhere, though perhaps it may have that meaning here - denoting a “bright” or “shining” weapon. This agrees best with the connection.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 41:26. Habergeon. — The hauberk, the Norman armour for the head, neck, and breast, formed of rings. See on Nehemiah 4:16.
