Job 40:15

"Behold now, Behemoth": The word rendered "behemoth" is simply. plural Hebrew word for "beast". Apparently the plural form is meant to emphasize the superlative strength of this beast. "Which. made as well as you": Thus behemoth is not. mythical creature, but. real animal. Various views concerning what beast is under consideration include the elephant, rhinoceros, plant-eating brontosaurus, the water buffalo, and the hippopotamus. There may be. couple of points that God is making in this last statement. Behemoth is far more powerful than Job, and yet does not criticize God for the way He runs the universe. We are like the animals in the sense that we are created as well. Man needs to remember his "place" before God as. created being, and not as an advisor or critic. Certain things about behemoth do not make sense from. human perspective. Here is. beast that is basically useless to man, that is, behemoth cannot be milked, used to plow. field, and so on, so why would God create such. brute? The answer to that question is in the same category as to why God would allow the righteous to suffer. God has His reasons.
