behemoth a huge or monstrous creature. The name comes from a Hebrew word occurring several times in the Old Testament and generally translated as ‘beast’; however, in Job 40:15, the Authorized Version has ‘behemoth’. The animal mentioned in Job is probably the hippopotamus, but the word came to be used generally for a particularly large and strong animal.
