What Is the Behemoth in the Book of Job? Death Personified in God's Final Speech

The Behemoth of Job then is no mere animal of the Jordan marshes. It is Death itself given dramatic form so that the sufferer may look upon the last enemy and discover that even this enemy is the Lord's. The one who made Behemoth with us is the one who will not abandon us to its power. That is the word the whirlwind still speaks to every generation that finds itself walking through the valley of the shadow.
