Of God's great power in the leviathanWill traders barter for him? The word "traders" in this context refers to those who engage in commerce, particularly in the ancient Near Eastern markets. The Hebrew root for "traders" is "סָחַר" (sachar), which implies a sense of going around or traveling, as traders would journey from place to place to exchange goods. In the historical context of Job, trading was a vital part of the economy, with merchants often dealing in precious commodities. The rhetorical question posed here emphasizes the uniqueness and untamable nature of the creature described in Job 41, traditionally understood as Leviathan. The implication is that Leviathan is beyond the realm of human commerce and control, highlighting God's supreme power over creation. This serves as a reminder of the limitations of human endeavors and the sovereignty of God, who alone can command such a creature. Will they divide him among the merchants? Parallel Commentaries ...
