Leviathan and Behemoth

(1/6) > >>

aqrinc:

Ok work Time,

Reading in the books of Job and psalms; got me to searching for more on Behemoth and Leviathan,
anyone has more on these or know where Ray addressed either in audio or video? I did the search
on Google and in the Jewish Encyclopedia, very interesting reading. All the other attempts to
make light of the subject and discredit the Scriptures are also included. Dinosaurs and Sea Monsters
or not literal in any of the occurrences. Apparently Behemoth was made with Job? that would make
modern human a lot older or T Rex a lot younger or  ??? ??? :-\


Job 41:1:
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 

Psalms 74:14:
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Psalms 104:26:
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 

Isaiah 27:1:
In that day THE LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 

Job 40:15-20

15-Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 

16-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.

That's interesting, George. I haven't looked it up, but from what version did you take the verses from Job? That does seem like it means the behemoth lived concurrently with Job. Well, maybe not T-Rex, I thought he was a meat eater! That says he "eateth grass as an ox" Well some of the other largest dinosaures were supposedly vegetarians. "food for thought"!! huh, George?  ;)

Hi Kathy,

Here are a few other Bible translations of these verses, one calls it a (river horse - Noyes).
Lots of reading but now we can start to put Text and Context on History and Scripture in
still tiny but growing understanding. T Rex was supposed to be a meat eater but there were
many other Behemoths according to the Fossil Record and Science and Scripture.

Be careful with that food analogy as there are some interesting beliefs and expectations on that. ???

God's WORD to the Nations:
15-"Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. It eats grass as cattle do. 16-Look at the strength in its back muscles, the power in its stomach muscles. 17-It makes its tail stiff like a cedar. The ligaments of its thighs are intertwined. 18-Its bones are bronze tubes. They are like iron bars. 19-Behemoth is the first of God's conquests. Its maker approaches it with his sword.

ESV
15-“Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.

Jubilee 2000
15-Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eats grass as an ox.

RNKJV
15-Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16-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 El: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

Emphasized Bible by Rotherhams
15-Behold, I pray thee, the Hippopotamus, which I made with thee, Grass—like the ox, he eateth; 16-Behold, I pray thee, his strength in his loins, and his force, in the muscles of his belly; 17-He bendeth down his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs, are twisted together; 18-His bones, are barrels of bronze, his frame, is like hammered bars of iron: 19-He, is the beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword:

Revised Webster Version 1833
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. behemoth: probably an extinct animal of some kind 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the sinew of his belly. 17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are knit together. He...: or, He setteth up 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him.

Hi Mark,

When i started this topic several times before; it was with purely physical curiousity and to
satisify my hunger to know why i have spent much time learning about these carnal things.
If we are looking in the physical that is a possibility but the words of Scripture are Spirit.

At the moment i am stuck between my head knowledge and historical research vs the
Spiritual implications of this subject. So; for now it is back to study, Pray for Enlightment
and wait Patiently until i get IT.

musicman:
I looked up Behemoth in some newer dictionary the other day.  Know what it said?




An example would be Musicman's last date.
