Thank you for clarity on the purpose of these creatures in the book. How they are used as part of the literary design to make God's point. Fantastic (literally and methaforically =P)

Thank you for this teaching
This is so helpful. I believe YEC btw
Very interesting!
The chaos argument is confusing and IMO not correct. Job is not to be striving to be like Behemoth. Job should be afraid of Behemoth, be afraid of the evil that it represents. The chaose argument does not connect with Job's response that is so dramatically deeper and different than Job's first response.
this response from Yahweh is disappointing, does not answer the deep and tragic questions about suffering, such as the agony of incurable diseases or the misery of oppressed orphans. Instead Yahweh raves on about primeval forces and goads Job with rhetorical questions. Perhaps there is an allusion to a resurrection
Perhaps you have missed the point
