(Some words not found in UHB: folds flesh,his cling_together firm on/upon/above=him/it not moved )

סָ֝ג֗וּר חוֹתָ֥ם צָֽר
(Some words not found in UHB: folds flesh,his cling_together firm on/upon/above=him/it not moved )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “A tight seal shuts them together”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
סָ֝ג֗וּר חוֹתָ֥ם צָֽר
(Some words not found in UHB: folds flesh,his cling_together firm on/upon/above=him/it not moved )
Yahweh is speaking as if a tight seal literally held the scales of Leviathan closely to one another. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: “They overlap closely, as if a seal held them together”
