Context of Job 41:13
11Nobody has ever won against me to make me pay them anything. Everything in the whole world belongs to me. 12I must tell you how strong Leviathan's legs are. Their bodies are very strong and they have a wonderful shape. Nobody is able to remove their thick skin. It is like armour that nobody can cut through. 14Nobody is strong enough to open its mouth. Its teeth make everyone afraid. 15Its back is like rows of shields. They are as hard as stone with no spaces between them.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Who can discern the face of his garment? - literally, “Who can reveal the face, that is, the appearance, of his garment?” This “garment” is undoubtedly his skin. The meaning seems to be, “His hard and rough skin is his defense, and no one can so strip off that as to have access to him.” The word rendered “discover” (גלה gâlâh ) means “to make naked”; then “to reveal”; and the idea is, that he cannot be made naked of that covering, or deprived of it so…Read the comment
