People (well, stupid people) believe that the behemoth can't be an elephant or hippo since the scripture claims the tail "moved as a cedar" saying that elephant and hippo tails aren't large enough to be "cedar-like." The fatal flaw here is that "moved like a cedar" had "cedar" describing the movement, slow and stiff, not the size. I really hate Ham. His logic is warped and so many good people buy into his ignorance.
They don't need a museum. When watching this, try not to punch your screen.
As for the Behemoth:
The text from the Book of Job 40 (Judaica Press Bible) is as follows:
Quote:
15 Behold now the behemoth that I have made with you; he eats grass like cattle.
16 Behold now his strength is in his loins and his power is in the navel of his belly.
17 His tail hardens like a cedar; the sinews of his tendons are knit together.
18 His limbs are as strong as copper, his bones as a load of iron.
19 His is the first of God's ways; [only] his Maker can draw His sword [against him].
20 For the mountains bear food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there.
21 Does he lie under the shadows, in the covert of the reeds and the swamp?
22 Do the shadows cover him as his shadow? Do the willows of the brook surround him? 23 Behold, he plunders the river, and [he] does not harden; he trusts that he will draw the Jordan into his mouth.
24 With His eyes He will take him; with snares He will puncture his nostrils.
16 Behold now his strength is in his loins and his power is in the navel of his belly.
17 His tail hardens like a cedar; the sinews of his tendons are knit together.

So going off that, is the Behemoth more likely
A: A sauropod
B: A Hippo
C: Chuck Norris
Thanks to 19 there's some extra support for C since Chuck just popped into existence so that would explain why nobody can kill him.
