job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

job 40:17 "He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

17. like a cedar--As the tempest bends the cedar, so it can move its smooth thick tail [UMBREIT]. But the cedar implies straightness and length, such as do not apply to the river horse's short tail, but perhaps to an extinct species of animal (see on Job 40:15).
stones--rather, "thighs."
wrapped--firmly twisted together, like a thick rope.

job 40:17 "He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
