==Plural as singular==

{{bibleref2|Job|40}} is an example of the use of a plural noun suffix to mean "great", rather than plural. The [[Grammatical gender|feminine]] plural Hebrew noun ''behemoth'' is also used in {{bibleref2|Joel|1:20}}.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}}

In the [[Haggadah]], Behemoth's strength reaches its peak on the [[summer solstice]] of every solar year (around 21 June). At this time of year, Behemoth lets out a loud roar that makes all animals tremble with fear, and thus renders them less ferocious for a whole year. As a result, weak animals live in safety away from the outreach of wild animals. This mythical phenomenon is shown as an example of divine mercy and goodness. Without Behemoth's roar, traditions narrate, animals would grow more wild and ferocious, and hence go around butchering each other and humans.<ref> Adapted from ''Legends of the Jews'', [[Louis Ginzberg]] - volume I </ref>

== Identitas ==

Sejak abad ke-17 M telah banyak upaya untuk mengidentifikasi Behemot. Beberapa sarjana melihatnya sebagai binatang yang nyata, biasanya [[kuda nil]], kadang juga [[gajah]], [[badak]], atau [[kerbau]].<ref name="ToornBecking1999"/> <!--Rujukan mengenai "ekor" Behemot yang "bergerak seperti pohon cedar" presents a problem for most of these readings, since it cannot easily be identified with the tail of any animal. Biologist Michael Bright suggests that the reference to the cedar tree actually refers to the brush-like shape of its branches, which resemble the tails of modern elephants and hippopotamuses.<ref name="BOTF">{{cite book|author=Bright, Michael|title=Beasts of the Field: The Revealing Natural History of Animals in the Bible|url=https://archive.org/details/beastsoffieldrev0000brig|year=2006|pages= [https://archive.org/details/beastsoffieldrev0000brig/page/26 26]–27|isbn=1-86105-831-4|publisher=Robson|location= London}}</ref> Some have identified the cedar as an elephant [[Elephant#Trunk|trunk]], but it might instead refer to Behemoth's [[penis]], since the Hebrew word for "move" can also mean "extend", and the second part of the verse speaks of the sinew around his "stones" (not, as in the translation provided above, his "thighs"). The [[Vulgate]] seems to endorse such a reading by using the word "''[[Testicle|testiculorum]]''".<ref name="Mitchell 1987">Mitchell (1987)</ref> [[Russian language|Russian]] [[cognate]] бегемот (''begemot'') actually means ''hippopotamus'' (From third quarter of 18th century. The earlier name is гиппопотам (''gippopotam'').).
