About Behemoth
These days, you might hear Behemoth used to describe something very large, like a big company that dominates a certain market, a newly discovered black hole, or a massive cruise ship. In a Biblical context, however, Behemoth is a chaos monster created by God, who alongside Leviathan, will become food for the righteous in the end-times.
Also the name of a Polish death metal band and a talking cat in Mikhail Bulgakov's novel, The Master and Margarita, Behemoth is probably best left as a descriptive word or a reserved for a fictional character and pets.
Pronounced buh-HEE-moth.
