Of God's great power in the leviathanStrength resides in his neck The Hebrew word for "strength" here is "עֹז" (oz), which conveys a sense of might, power, and fortitude. In the context of Job 41, this strength is attributed to the Leviathan, a creature of immense power and fearsome presence.

The neck being the seat of strength emphasizes the creature's invulnerability and the futility of human efforts to subdue it, pointing to the sovereignty of God over all creation. and dismay leaps before him Parallel Commentaries ...
