Lots of room for translation, let alone interpretation, concerning behemoth.

Check it in a good Interlinear Bible, and with Strong's Numbers.

Navel
OT:8306

OT:8306 shariyr (shaw-reer’); from OT:8324 in the original sense as in OT:8270 (compare OT:8326); a cord, i.e. (by analogy) sinew:

KJV - navel.


In verse 18, “are” and “are as” are both ADDED English words, and are NOT in the manuscripts.

“18 His bones (Strong's Number 6106) [are as—Strong's 9999] strong pieces of brass; his bones (Strong's 1634) [are—Strong's 9999] iron.


OT:6106 `etsem (eh’tsem); from OT:6105; a bone (as strong); by extension, the body; figuratively, the substance, i.e. (as pron.) selfsame:

KJV - body, bone, life, (self-) same, strength, very.


OT:1634
gerem (gheh’-rem); from OT:1633; a bone (as the skeleton of the body); henceself,, i.e. (figuratively) very:

KJV - bone, strong, top.

Ol’ Dan’l Webster can only tell you the meaning of the ENGLISH word the TRANSLATOR used; not the meaning of the Hebrew word the original writer used.

Worse, Ol’ Dan’l has a nasty habit of only telling you the CURRENT usage/meaning of the English word the translator used; not the meaning/usage current in said translator's own time.

I guess what you are saying is that the bible has been amended in error by man and we should not consider any English versions to be the word of God.
