Just from some of the less remarkable statements about Leviathan, we can see it is not domestic and won't be tamed or ridden and cannot be caught or harmed, which obviously indicates it is large, powerful, and beyond any human effort to control or harm. Here are some of the other interesting descriptions found in Job about Leviathan:

* "Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir him up.." (Job 41:9-10)

This indicates that just the very sight of this creature causes men to faint and even the bravest do not dare to disturb Leviathan.

* "Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about." (Job 41:14)

Just the teeth of Leviathan are frightful.

* "His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered." (Job 41:15-17)

Leviathan is covered with tight-fitting, air-tight, impenetrable, shield-like scales.

* "By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning." (Job 41:18)

The word "neesings" comes from etiyshah, meaning; sneezing. Lights shine from the nose of Leviathan when it sneezes, and its eyes project beams of light.

* "Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out." (Job 41:19)

From Leviathan's mouth come bright lights and fire-like sparks.

* "Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.." (Job 41:20)

Steam-like vapors come from the nose of Leviathan.

* "His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth." (Job 41:21)

The breath of Leviathan glows and gleaming beams of light come from its mouth.

* "In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him." (Job 41:22)

Leviathan has great force in his neck and terror dances before it.

* "When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves." (Job 41:25)

To put it gently, mighty men lose control of their bowels, when Leviathan stands up.
