Previous Chapter - Job 39:1 Previous Verse - Job 40:14 Next Verse - Job 40:16 Next Chapter - Job 41:1
{Job 40:15} Behold x2009 now x4994 behemoth, 930 which x834 I made 6213 z8804 with x5973 thee; he eateth 398 z8799 grass 2682 as an ox. 1241
behemoth:
בהמות [Strong's H0930], Perhaps an extinct dinosaur, maybe a Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus, the exact meaning is unknown. Some translate as elephant or hippopotamus but from the description in "Behold¹ now¹ behemoth,ª which¹ I madeª° with¹ thee; he eatethª° grassª as an ox.ª ... He takethª° it with his eyes:ª [his] noseª pierceth¹ through²° snares.ª" {Job 40:15-24}, this is patently absurd.
which:
"And Godª said,ª° Let the earthª bring forthª° the livingª creatureª after his kind,ª cattle,ª and creeping thing,ª and beastª of the earthª after his kind:ª and it was¹ so.¹ ... And Godª said,ª° Let us makeª° manª in our image,ª after our likeness:ª and let them have dominionª° over the fishª of the sea,ª and over the fowlª of the air,ª and over the cattle,ª and over all¹ the earth,ª and over every¹ creeping thingª that creepethª° upon¹ the earth.ª" {Gen 1:24-26}
he:
"Surely¹ the mountainsª bring him forthª° food,ª where¹ all¹ the beastsª of the fieldª play.ª°" {Job 40:20} + "The rangeª of the mountainsª [is] his pasture,ª and he searchethª° afterª every¹ green thing.ª" {Job 39:8} + "He causeth the grassª to growª° for the cattle,ª and herbª for the serviceª of man:ª that he may bring forthª° foodª out of¹ the earth;ª" {Psa 104:14}
