{{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}}

[[Kitab Ayub]] 40:10–19 menggambarkan Behemot, dan kemudian hewan laut raksasa [[Lewiatan]], untuk menunjukkan kepada [[Ayub]] kesia-siaan mempertanyakan kekuasaan Allah, yang menciptakan hewan-hewan ini sendirian dan juga sendirian dapat menangkap mereka.<ref name="ToornBecking1999">{{cite book|last1=Van Der Toorn|first1=Karel

Leviathan is identified figuratively with both the primeval sea ({{bibleref2|Job|3:8}}, {{bibleref2|Psalms|74:13}}) and in [[apocalyptic literature]] – describing the end-time – as that adversary, the [[Devil]], from before creation who will finally be defeated. In the divine speeches in Job, Behemoth and Leviathan may both be seen as composite and mythical creatures with enormous strength, which humans like Job could not hope to control. But both are reduced to the status of divine pets, with rings through their noses and Leviathan on a leash.<ref>Michael D. Coogan, "A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament" Page 387</ref>

Baris 31:
In Jewish [[apocrypha]] and [[pseudepigrapha]] such as the 2nd century BCE [[Book of Enoch]], Behemoth is the primal unconquerable monster of the land, as Leviathan is the primal monster of the waters of the sea and [[Ziz]] the primordial monster of the sky. According to this text Leviathan lives in "[[Abyss (religion)|the Abyss]]", while Behemoth the land-monster lives in an invisible desert east of the [[Garden of Eden]] (1 Enoch 60:7–8). A Jewish rabbinic legend describes a great battle which will take place between them at the end of time: "...they will interlock with one another and engage in combat, with his horns the Behemoth will gore with strength, the fish [Leviathan] will leap to meet him with his fins, with power. Their Creator will approach them with his mighty sword [and slay them both]." Then, "from the beautiful skin of the Leviathan, God will construct canopies to shelter the righteous, who will eat the meat of the Behemoth and the Leviathan amid great joy and merriment." (''Artscroll'' [[siddur]], p. 719).
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.

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=
Another opinion is that Behemoth is a product of the imagination of the author of Job, a symbol of God's power: in verse 24 he is described as having a ring ("snare") through his nose, a sign that he has been tamed by [[Yahweh]].<ref name="Metzger2004"/>
Baris 44 ⟶ 45:
The ''[[Dictionnaire Infernal]]'' has depicted Behemoth as a humanoid Elephant Demon with a round belly. This depiction of Behemoth is a huge soldier of [[Satan]] that lives in [[Hell]]. Behemoth is an infernal [[Security guard|watchman]] who also presides over the gluttonous banquets and feasts. It is also said that Behemoth has also enjoyed a certain renown for his voice where he was regarded as Hell's official demonic singer.
