2001年8月1日 · But the French Protestant pastor Samuel Bochart in his Hierozoicon (1663), which analyzed the animals in the Bible in great detail, suggested that Behemoth was a hippopotamus, and this has since remained as the most common interpretation. The suggestion of a dinosaur has only arisen in relatively modern times.

2014年2月12日 · Behemoth (Job 40) and Leviathan (Job 41) are frequently referenced as evidence that the patriarch Job lived alongside such dinosaurs as brachiosaurus and kronosaurus. Is this fact or fiction? First, it is important to recognize that Job serves as a literary polemic*, a written indictment, against the gods of ancient Near Eastern mythology.

2023年7月19日 · Because of this, as in the case of Behemoth, it is common for many today to view Leviathan as a dinosaur or mythological creature rather than an actual animal found at the time of Job. Others, however, hold firmly to the view that Leviathan was actually known to Job and must have been a crocodile with exaggerated characteristics.

2022年8月12日 · The Bible teaches that animals, which must have included Behemoth, were created on the same day as man (Genesis 1:24–27; Job 40:15). We don’t know when the dinosaurs became extinct, and it’s scripturally possible that some still remained in Job’s day, which was sometime between Genesis 11 (the tower of Babel) and Genesis 12 (the call of ...

Job 40 lists 14 characteristics of this creature, and a sauropod dinosaur seems to fit the description better than any other creature, alive or extinct. Certain Bible footnotes[xiv] state that Behemoth was a hippo, elephant, or crocodile but these do not come close to matching all 14 characteristics God used to describe Behemoth.

Some think the animal is some type of dinosaur: a brontosaurus, a diplodocus, an apatosaurus, or a sauropod. But these animals do not fit the description of Behemoth’s habitat. The major issue with these animals is that they are too tall to be covered by lotus plants in the water.

2000年12月31日 · God’s description of behemoth is compatible in every way with the descriptions we have of some of the dinosaurs that roamed the Earth—not millions of years ago as some have suggested, but only a few thousand years ago (cf. Exodus 20:11; Genesis 1; …

Dinosaurs and the Bible. Ironically enough, by trusting the Bible, Christians have no need to "explain away" dinosaurs and do mental gymnastics to try and disprove their existence. The Bible even leaves the door open for Christians to discover dinosaurs alive today.

2020年3月17日 · Biblical creationists have long argued that Behemoth is a creature that is now extinct, but known to Job when he was alive, possibly a sauropod dinosaur (possibly Dicraeosaurus, Brachytrachelopan). Why then do most if not all evangelical scholars who have written commentaries on Job not understand Behemoth this way?

2023年4月1日 · Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that biblical Job 1 likely lived after the Flood and before the time of Moses, perhaps at roughly the time of Abraham or slightly before (ca. 2100-2000 B.C). 2 In Job 40:15-24, God shows Job an herbivorous beast called Behemoth, presumably living at the time, which is described as “first” or “chief” of ...
