Job 40:15–24 describes Behemoth and the sea-monster Leviathan, to demonstrate to Job the futility of questioning God, who alone has created these beings and who alone can capture them. They are chaos monsters destroyed by the deity at the time of creation.

If Behemoth and Leviathan are not synonyms for the same chaos monster, then Behemoth is probably the Jewish reworking of the Canaanite chaos monster Atik.
