# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues to rebuke Job. He uses rhetorical questions to remind Job that Job is not powerful like Leviathan.

# Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

This question can be translated as a statement. AT: "You cannot pierce his skin with your hunting weapons, nor can you pierce his head with fishing spears." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# his ... him

The words "his" and "him" refer to Leviathan.

# harpoons

large spears with barbed points that people use to hunt large sea creatures

# See

"Look" or "Listen" or "Pay attention to what I am about to tell you."

# will not anyone be thrown down to the ground just by the sight of him?

This generalization can be translated as a statement in active form. AT: "Anyone who looks at him will be so frightened that he will throw himself on the ground." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# the sight of him

"by looking at him" or "by seeing him"
