The Description of Leviathan
41:1 (40:25)1 “Can you pull in2 Leviathan with a hook,
and tie down3 its tongue with a rope?
Footnotes
- 1 Beginning with 41:1, the verse numbers through 41:9 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (), with 41:1 = 40:25 , 41:2 = 40:26 , etc., through 41:34 = 41:26 . The Hebrew verse numbers in the remainder of the chapter differ from the verse numbers in the English Bible. Beginning with 42:1 the verse numbers in the and are again the same.
- 2 The verb מָשַׁךְ (mashakh) means “to extract from the water; to fish.” The question here includes the use of a hook to fish the creature out of the water so that its jaws can be tied safely.
- 3 The verb שָׁקַע (shaqa’) means “to cause to sink,” if it is connected with the word in Amos 8:8 and 9:5. But it may have the sense of “to tie; to bind.” If the rope were put around the tongue and jaw, binding tightly would be the sense.
