Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - He moveth his tail like a cedar. The tail of the hippopotamus is remarkably short and thick. It only bends slightly, being stiff and unyielding, like the stem of a cedar. The sinews of his stones (rather, of his thighs) are wrapped together; or, interwoven one with another (so Professor Lee and Mr. Houghton).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) The sinews of his stones.--Rather, of his thighs.
