Commentary on Job 41:20 (Summary)

Job 41:20 (ESV)

20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.

Steam, as thick as smoke, can be seen escaping from his nose. In this way, his breath resembles the mixture of smoke and steam that one sees when a pot of water is boiled over a fire.
