This article appears in Volume V03, Page 656 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BEHEMOTH (the intensive plural of the Hebrew b'hernah, a beast) , the animal mentioned in the
book
  of Job (ch. xl. 15), probably the
hippopotamus
 , which in
ancient
  times was found in
Egypt
  below the cataracts of Syene. The word may be used in Job as typical of the primeval king of
land
  animals, as
leviathan
  of the water animals. The
modern
  use expresses the
idea
  of a very large and strong animal.
