Commentary on Job 41:21
"His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth." Leviathan's breath ignites coals (gachalim, גֶּחָלִים) and produces flame. The imagery emphasizes destructive power concentrated in its very breath—the most natural, continual action. This teaches that some forces are inherently, constantly dangerous. Their threat doesn't require special provocation. Yet God created and controls such forces, demonstrating that even perpetual dangers remain under sovereign governance.
