Did leviathan actually breathe fire? Some see this as. poetic description of the blast of steam that comes forth from this creature as he emerges from beneath the water. This section of Scripture does have some poetic statements, compare with Job 39:24. Yet there are some writers who feel that there may be. grain of truth behind all the stories about fire-breathing dragons. See Dinosaurs Those Terrible Lizards by Duane Gish.

Job 41:18 "Eyelids of the morning": "When this reptile emerges from the water, its small eyes, with slits for pupils like. cat's eyes, are seen first, like the dawn's rays. The Egyptian hieroglyphs, the crocodile's eye represents the dawn" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 773).
