here's what I got:
Behemoth is a male chaos-monster (whale, crocodile, hippopotamus) created on the 5th day and closely associated with the female Leviathan. It is also identified with Rahab, primordial angel of the sea, and with the angel of death. In Roman Catholic theology, Behemoth is the principal of darkness, although Job's (40:19) "he is the chief of the way of God" points in an opposite direction.
I also found this Bible passage with "Behemoth" in it:
Job 40:15 (New International Version)
15 "Look at the behemoth, [a]
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
Footnotes:
Job 40:15 Possibly the hippopotamus or the elephant

Possibly an aligator, although some believe it refers to a dinosaur. People disagree on what Behemoth means.

Unknown.
perhaps an extinct dinosaur.
Some translate as elephant or hippopotamus but from the description in #Job 40:15-24, this is patently absurd.

It's obvious once you put the "word" back into the original context.
Behemoth in the original text was "Be he moth". Certainly a clear reference to moths. Or, it could be that they were trying to describe a Yak(pbut). A flying Yak(pbut). That eats sweaters.

It's a hippo or river horse according to Strong's concordance.

Tyrannosaurus Rex? But really dinosaurs never coexisted with humans.
