“The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.”
God continues 'The folds of his flesh are joined firmly; they are firm and immovable.' This verse describes the physical structure of the creature, emphasizing the firmness and immoveability of the flesh. The folds are joined firmly, suggesting that the creature's body is not loose or vulnerable but tightly held together. The emphasis on immoveability reinforces the image of an all-but indestructible creature. The verse consolidates the theme of Leviathan's physical invulnerability.
