What does behemoth mean in the Bible?
The Book of Job:
The Book of Job belongs to the Bible's Old Testament. In the beginning of the Book of Job, Satan meets with God and proposes a challenge. He has noticed Job, one of God's favored servants, and wishes to test his faith. God tells Satan that Job will not falter. Satan proceeds to kill Job's family, destroy his fortune, and inflict sores upon Job. Job expresses his confusion and grief over the events, and he asks God why he has not intervened, but he never turns away from his belief in God. Once Job proves himself, God restores all that Job has lost.
