What was a leviathan or a behemoth?

[tonychanyt]

Job 40:

15 Take a look at Behemoth, which I made, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox.

Job 41:

1 Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope?

Some thought Leviathan and Behemoth were amphibious. Benson Commentary:

But some later and very learned men take the leviathan to be the crocodile, and the behemoth to be a creature called the hippopotamus, or river-horse, which may seem to be fitly joined with the crocodile, both being very well known to Job and his friends, as being frequent in the adjacent places, both amphibious, living and preying both in the water and upon the land, and both being creatures of great bulk and strength.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown:

behemoth—The description in part agrees with the hippopotamus, in part with the elephant, but exactly in all details with neither. It is rather a poetical personification of the great Pachydermata, or Herbivora (so "he eateth grass"), the idea of the hippopotamus being predominant. In Job 40:17, "the tail like a cedar," hardly applies to the latter (so also Job 40:20, 23, "Jordan," a river which elephants alone could reach, but see on [560]Job 40:23). On the other hand, Job 40:21, 22 are characteristic of the amphibious river horse. So leviathan (the twisting animal), Job 41:1, is a generalized term for cetacea, pythons, saurians of the neighboring seas and rivers, including the crocodile, which is the most prominent, and is often associated with the river horse by old writers. "Behemoth" seems to be the Egyptian Pehemout, "water-ox," Hebraized, so-called as being like an ox, whence the Italian bombarino.

Barnes:

It is an amphibious animal, or an animal whose usual resort is the river, though he is occasionally on land. This is evident, because he is mentioned as lying under the covert of the reed and the fens; as abiding in marshy places, or among the willows of the brook, Job 40:21-22, while at other times he is on the mountains, or among other animals, and feeds on grass like the ox, Job 40:15, Job 40:20. This account would not agree well with the elephant, whose residence is not among marshes and fens, but on solid ground.

Ancient writers often paired crocodiles and hippopotamuses together. Then perhaps Leviathan was a crocodile, and Behemoth was a hippopotamus.

As they are here grouped together in the argument, it is probable that they belong to the same class; and if by the leviathan is meant the "crocodile," then the presumption is that the river-horse, or the hippopotamus, is here intended. These two animals, as being Egyptian wonders, are everywhere mentioned together by ancient writers; see Herodotus, ii.-69-71; Diod. Sic. i. 35; and Pliny, "Hist. Nat." xxviii. 8.

Job 40:

17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

Benson thought it could be a hippo:

Job 40:17. He moveth his tail like a cedar — Though the tail be but short, both in the elephant, and in the hippopotamus; yet, when it is erected, it is exceeding stiff and strong. The sinews of his stones, &c. — Rather, of his thighs, as the Hebrew may be rendered. The thighs and feet of the river- horse are so sinewy and strong that one of them is able to break or overturn a large boat.

These were guesses.

According to paleontologists, dinosaurs became extinct 66 million years ago.

Strength in Loins-lies

1. Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto you (God) from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The Naval of his Belly

Isa 48:8 Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I (God) knew that you (Jews) would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb. Isa 48:9 For my (God) name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I (God) refrain for you (Jews), that I cut you not off. Isa 48:10 Behold, I have refined you (Jews), but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of you (Lucifer) with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I (God) will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O (Lucifer) covering cherub, from the midst of the stones (group of angels) of fire.

8. Eze 22:20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I (God) gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.

2. Mat 23:2-8 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat (throne): Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not you after their works: for they say, and do not. Mat 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Mat 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, Mat 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, Mat 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

4. Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
5. Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
