בְּהֵמוֹת

בְּהֵמוֺת noun masculine behemoth, i.e. hippopotamus (apparently plural intensive of foregoing; according to Di Job 40,15 compare De Es 30,6 from an (assumed) Egyptain p-ehemau, ox of the water) Job 40,15 (on identity, compare further Bo^{Hieroz. iii. 705}); probably also Sl 73,22 בְּהֵמוֺת הָיִיתִי עִמָּ֑ךְ a behemoth was I with (toward) thee (so Hi De; Che beasts); according to De Or also in בַּהֲמוֺת Es 30,6 the burden of the behemoth of the south (supposed to be a designation of Egypt; but this unlikely, compare Che Di, read therefore) rather beasts of the south, namely of Judah.
