Job 40:23
_ _ Rather, “(Though) a river be violent (overflow), he trembleth not”; (for though living on land, he can live in the water, too); he is secure, though a Jordan swell up to his mouth. “Jordan” is used for any great river (consonant with the “behemoth”), being a poetical generalization (see on Job 40:15). The author cannot have been a Hebrew as Umbreit asserts, or he would not adduce the Jordan, where there were no river horses. He alludes to it as a name for any river, but not as one known to him, except by hearsay. |
Job 40:23
River — A great quantity of water, hyperbolically called a river. Hasteth not — He drinks not with fear and caution; but such is his courage, that he fears no enemy either by water or by land. He drinks as if he designed, to drink up the whole river. He mentions Jordan, as a river well known, in and nigh unto Job's land. |

(k) He drinks at leisure, and fears nobody. |
