Job 41:16
One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.
BSB
ASV
One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
KJV
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
One is joined to another, and not even a breath comes between them. 54. These scales of sinners are both hardened and joined together, so as not to be penetrated by any breath of life from the mouth of preachers. For those whom a like guilt associates, the same does a perverse defence also crowd together in obstinate agreement, in order that they may protect each other with mutual defence for their sins.
One is so near to another - It has already been stated, that a musket-ball fired at him in any direction cannot make a passage through his scales.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
