Who is Behemoth?

Creation The Behemoth is mentioned in Job 40:15-24 as described by God : Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
