- Dead things:
- Or, "The giants rephaim are in anguish under the waters and their inhabitants;" probably in allusion to the destruction of the earth by the deluge. "Canst thou draw outª° leviathanª with an hook?ª or his tongueª with a cordª [which] thou lettest down?ª° ... He beholdethª°¹ all¹ highª [things]: he¹ [is] a kingª over¹ all¹ the childrenª of pride.ª" {Job 41:1-34} + "There were¹ giantsª in the earthª in those¹ days;ª and also¹ afterª that,ª whenª the sonsª of Godª came inª° unto¹ the daughtersª of men,ª and they bareª° [children] to them, the sameª [became] mighty menª which¹ [were] of old,ª¹ men²¹ of renown.ª" {Gen 6:4} + "[So is] this¹ greatª and wideªª sea,ª wherein¹ [are] things creepingª innumerable,ª¹ both smallª and¹ greatª beasts.ª ... There¹ goª° the ships:ª [there is] that leviathan,ª [whom] thou¹ hast madeª° to playª° therein." {Psa 104:25-26} + "Speak,ª° and say,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ thee, Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª the greatª dragonª that liethª° in the midstª of his rivers,ª which¹ hath said,ª° My riverª [is] mine own, and I¹ have madeª° [it] for myself. ... And I will leaveª° thee [thrown] into the wilderness,ª thee and all¹ the fishª of thy rivers:ª thou shalt fallª° upon¹ the openª fields;ª thou shalt not¹ be brought together,ª° nor¹ gathered:ª° I have givenª° thee for meatª to the beastsª of the fieldª and to the fowlsª of the heaven.ª" {Ezk 29:3-5}
