Commentary for Job 41:22

תַּ֭חְתָּיו חַדּ֣וּדֵי חָ֑רֶשׂ יִרְפַּ֖ד חָר֣וּץ עֲלֵי־טִֽיט׃

Sharpest potsherds are under him; He spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.

Rashi on Job

Under him are rays of the sun in the place he rests, there are rays of the sun, because his fins, which are under him on his belly, illuminate and shine like the sun.
