  1;  Of God's great power in the leviathan.

 * leviathan. [FB]See definition 03882[Fb].
 A large aquatic animal, perhaps the extinct dinosaur,
 plesiosaurus, the exact meaning is unknown.  Some think this to
 be a crocodile but from the description in [FB]#Job 41:1-41:34[Fb]
 this is patently absurd. It appears to be a large fire breathing
 animal of some sort. Just as the bomardier beetle has an
 explosion producing mechanism, so the great sea dragon may have
 an explosive producing mechanism to enable it to be a real fire
 breathing dragon.
