This feminine noun appears in Job's description of Leviathan's invincibility, listing weapons that cannot pierce the creature. The term likely denotes either a javelin or lance (a throwing or thrusting spear), or possibly body armor (corselet or breastplate), based on variant manuscript traditions. The Hebrew text suggests a weapon in a list including sword, spear, and dart, but the Greek and Latin versions read 'breastplate,' suggesting a different vocalization. Either reading emphasizes Leviathan's imperviousness—whether weapons bounce off or armor proves useless against him.
