(bee' hih mahth) Animal God created known for enormous strength and toughness. The behemoth is apparently an animal that lives near water (Job 40:15-22 ). This animal demonstrates the power, knowledge, and majesty of God, qualities Job did not have. Bible students identify this animal as hippopotamus or crocodile. See Animals; Leviathan .
