Baris 30:
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. <ref> Adapted from ''Legends of the Jews'', [[Louis Ginzberg]] - volume I </ref>
