Job 40:15 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Behemoth — Very learned men take the leviathan to be the crocodile, and the behemoth to be the river — horse, which may fitly be joined with the crocodile, both being well known to Joband his friends, as being frequent in the adjacent parts, both amphibious, living and preying both in the water and upon the land. And both creatures of great bulk and strength. Made — As I made thee. Grass — The river — horse comes out of the river upon the land to feed upon corn, and hay, or grass, as an ox doth, to whom also he is not unlike in the form of his head and feet, and in the bigness of his body, whence the Italians call him, the sea — ox.

Job 40:15

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