Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 23. - The flakes of his flesh are joined together. Even the softer muscles, and parts which in most animals are yielding and flabby, in the crocodile are bound up, and, as it were, soldered together (scrap. ver. 17). They are firm in themselves; rather, they are firm upon him; literally, fused upon him, like detached pieces of metal, which are melted one into another. They cannot be moved. His whole body is so firmly compacted together that it is all one piece; the separate parts cannot be moved separately. One result is that the crocodile has great difficulty in turning.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) The flakes of his flesh--i.e., the parts that in other animals hang down: e.g., dewlaps, &c., are not flabby, as with them.
