The courage of the horse appears yet higher in the next verse.
The glory of his nostrils is terrible.
The nostrils are very considerable in horses, and the largeness ⟨p. 439⟩or openness of them, is a sign of their goodness and stoutness. The glory of his nostrils is terrible, or terror, that is,1 very terrible, his breathings are mere terror. This expression of the Horse, is somewhat like that given of St. Paul, while Saul (Acts 9, 1.) Saul yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter. Paul, before his conversion, breathed flames of fire, as it were, he breathed terror out of his mouth against the faithful people of God. Thus here, The glory of his nostrils is terrible.
