The word of God, which fools disregard, speaks of behemoth and leviathan.

According to my Amplified translation of the Bible, IIRC, they referred to the Hippopotamus and some other common creature. The whale, I think. Been a while.

To the ancient Jews, these creatures must have held mythical status.

Yes, I'm a Christian.

Hippos don't have tails like a cedar, and whales don't have scales.
