Behemoth and Leviathan
Bibical
Behemoth
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his
belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped
together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of
iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword
to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all
the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert
of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the
willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and
hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up
-- Job 40: 15-24
Behemonth/Leviathan
in Extra-Biblical Literature
1 (Ethiopic Apocalypse of) Enoch (dated second century BCE - first century CE)
gives the following description:
'And that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named Leviathan
in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of water; and
(the other), a male called Behemoth, which holds his chest in an invisible
desert whose name is Dundayin, east of the garden of Eden.' - 1 Enoch 60:7-8
Biblical Leviathan
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou
lettest down?
Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
Job 41: 1-3 (KJV)
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-
living things both large and small.
26 There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic
there. Psalm 104: 25-26
In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful
sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea Isaiah 27: 1
