What Does Job 41:23 Mean?
The creature's very flesh is described as cast in firm, joined folds, set solid and unable to be moved. Body and armor alike are made for endurance, unyielding under any pressure.
The picture of what cannot be moved speaks to the believer of a steadiness greater than flesh. The Lord who fashioned leviathan immovable is Himself the unchanging Rock, and He grants to those who trust Him a like firmness, so that they may say with the psalmist, I shall not be moved. What God establishes stands sure against every shaking.
