Mythical Creatures in the Bible (Old Testament Edition)
All world religions and mythologies have extraordinary beasts. And the Bible is no exception. In this video, let's explore four creatures found in the Old Testament: Unicorns, the Behemoth & Leviathan and Nephilim. We'll also examine their potential origins, from hippos to crocodiles to other beasts entirely. This is just a small selection, and not an exhaustive list. Just a series of mythical creatures that have interesting stories, especially how the Leviathan relates to the concept of the chaoskampf.
I've enjoyed exploring topics that relate to mythology and biblical studies, it seems that they go down well. Perhaps that no surprise, as most discover the channel through my Bible accurate angels video. I'm always open to suggestions for content, but next week I'm planning on surprising you all with a very different topic.
I recently surpassed the 10k subscriber milestone. Simply absurd. All your views are much appreciated, especially those that lead to new subscribers. Thank you all!

It's because Russians first heard of these creatures through the Bible since they didn't travel to Africa before becoming Christians. That's why when they actually saw a hippo for the first time, they were like 'oh, I've read about that one' and named it a бегемот (begemót)

John 5:30: "By myself, I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." 1. How old was Jehoiachin when he became King? - He was 8 years old. (2 Chronicles 36:9) - He was 18 years old. (2 Kings 24:8) Which one is true? how can God's word have a contradiction? 2. First Samuel:15 God orders to kill all men and women of a group and their infants and animals for a sin that was committed by their forefathers who died 400 years before.. 3. How did Judas die? - Threw pieces of silver away and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5) - Kept the piece of silver and bought with it a field and fell headlong and burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. (Acts 1:18) 4. How many horsemen?? - And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. (2 Samuel 8:4) - And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. (First Chronicles 18:4) You choose: 1. The holy spirit can lie or 2. God is not able to preserve his message or 3. its from Humans. Do your natural inclination and reasoning accept that Almighty God can be a baby, eat food, pray to his God, made lower than Angels (Hebrews 2:9) and be killed on earth, stays dead for days and needs someone to revive him (all in the bible)? Do you really believe this? John 17:3 Jesus praying to the father: "..that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." If Jesus or the holy spirit are also God, it means Jesus didn't speak the truth or they are in fact NOT God. Why is this important? The entire message contains errors and contradictions and thus it can not be from God, not only that, but it is a lie. - John 1:18: No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Did people see Jesus? if yes, he is not god according to the bible. - The bible says many times that God alone is immortal and all-knowing BUT Jesus when asked, said he didn't know when the last hour will come and ALSO Jesus got killed stayed dead for 3 days and needed his God to revive him, which proves he is not God. If God can do anything and even become human to "get killed for your sins", why can't he forgive without having to do all these unjust things? Why does "god" have to become human or kill his own son /Shed the blood of his son/himself to "forgive" you? If he is God, he doesn't have to do all of that. If Jesus came for the purpose of dying for your sins, why did he say "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)" on the cross? isnt this what he wanted and what he came for? Jesus praying to prevent the crucifixion after telling his disciples he was depressed to the point of death, he fell and pray multiple times asking to prevent the crucifixion: Matthew 26:36-42, Mark 14:35-36, Luke 22:41-42 Example: "And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: " My father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let not be as i will, but as You will." A claim in a different book that Jesus is completely willing to be crucified: “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” (John 12:27) Jesus was just a prophet with a different mother language than the bible and the church held the bible hostage for years to change it how they like and preached for a man-made religion (Historical facts, ask for evidence). "Jesus the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth" Quran 5:75 If you want to know why the Quran is from nonother than Allah, i will list you irrefutable evidence that the creator himself sent down the Quran. Moses split the see and Elijah rose people from the dead are they also god? Matthew 7:21 21: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22: any will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23: Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Who calls Jesus Lord and who does all those things today other than Christians, who don't even know what the will of the father is? The only true God, wants true monotheism, just like Jesus. If Jesus thinks he is the father, it would be the same to him if people called them both God but Jesus hated the ones who called him Lord, find me one verse about him clearly and unambiguously saying, that he is God and i will become Christian. There is no God but the one true God that sent Jesus and all the other messengers who have Books that cant hide and are easy to prove wrong or from no other than Allah (AL: The God: Ilah). The God: Ilah). I am inviting you to stop worshipping a human in a 3in1 god and to read the Quran. You must follow all of the 600+ Rules according to your Bible. Matthew 5:19 "Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." 5: The word "Begotten" son in John 3:16 KJV is a fabrication that is only found in few bible versions. This was put there by humans who had the power to put it there and intentionally wanted to twist and change the words of the god they supposedly believed in. With today's evidence some Christian scholars were forced to admit the word "begotten" is a fabrication. "Jesus never sinned but Mohammed was a sinner": according to the bible Jesus pbuh called a woman a dog and ignored her after she asked for herlp if not for a different man who urged him to help her and Jesus said he was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 15. Was Jesus the only one out of all the prophets in the bible that didn't commit sin? “There is no one who is righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Isn't Jesus a human that needed food, drink, protection, and provision and was willing to commit a sin in Matthew 4 after satan was tempting him? Did he not insult and call a woman a dog? If Jesus was God, would satan dare to tempt God into making a sin? God in danger of doing a sin? Violence in christianity: Luke 12:47 "That slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will receive a severe beating." Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.“ Numbers 31:17-18 “Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.“ Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.“ Luke 19:27 "But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them-bring them here and slaughter them in my presence." Deuteronomy 25:11-12 “When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.“ 2 Kings 2:23-25 “Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some young boys came out of the town and jeered at him. "Get out of here, baldy!" they said. "Get out of here, baldy!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys (children).“ You should be terrified if god was really the author of the bible. 1 Samuel 15:3-4 God orders to kill a group of people and their infants and animals for a sin that was commited by their forefathers who died 400 years before..

When Chinese emperor Yongle was given a giraffe as a present, many people in his court were convinced it was a quilin, probably because of the hooves, horns and scale-like fur print.

In relation to the leviathan being a crocodile, the Saltwater croc in Asia and the Nile croc grew to staggering lengths and girths, in excess of nine metres.

Hi, Hebrew speaker here. At any point in the video did you not mention that the name Leviathan comes from the Hebrew word לויתן, which literally means "whale". Yes, the fat ocean mammal whale. This explains the steam coming out of his nostrils. Also, maybe it is a problem of too many translations, but the verses you sited from the book of Job were in totally different places in the chapters in the Hebrew Bible.

It means "whale" only in *Modern* Hebrew, not Biblical Hebrew or ancient Hebrew. The "לויתן" is also described as having its back made of closely packed rows of shields and the Bible warns against trying to penetrate it with harpoons. That sounds totally like the opposite of whales.

Leviathan is symbolic for satan. Lord have mercy on your ignorance. Its not even a creature of this world. It is literally Satan.

Damn, I never knew the bible was written in the 90s
We were all just clickbaited yet again by a ten minute video.
Random Jew here, I've done a bunch of research into Creatures of the Bible and just wanted to make some points... Unicorn: This is said to be an actual creature rather than a mythical one, it had multi-coloured skin (some say rainbow others say brown, red and blue) and one horn. Although it's shape isn't identified, we just kinda go with the horse thing. The last of the Unicorns were killed for their skins in around 1300BC. Behemoth: Other than the description in Job, we don't have much to go off of, the Hippo idea has been suggested by some, but others belive that it is actually a giant creature that will be killed for the Feast of Redemption (explained further down). The only other thing to go on is the name שור הבר 'Wild Bull' which gives us the massive cow idea. Leviathan: The Leviathan is described as more Whale-like rather than Serpentine. In Jewish legend all of the World's continents actually float on the ocean rather than being solid rock, and the Leviathan exists underneath the land. The Leviathan is chained to the bottom of the sea by G-d, because if it were able to move it would destroy the world simply through the water displament when it moves its fins. Every 40 years or so G-d let's then chains slack a bit and the Leviathan moves a bit, causing earthquakes and tsunami's. Fish willingly swim into it's mouth for it to feed. Both the Leviathan and Behemoth were created during the 6 Days of Creation with a mate, the Female of both was killed instantly as if these creatures were allowed to procreate, they would destroy the world. When the Jewish Messiah comes the Leviathan and Behemoth would do battle, killing each other in the process. We would then have the Feast of Redemption with the meat of these creatures, to celebrate the start of the Messianic Era. The name Leviathan comes from its Hebrew name לויתן (Liv-ya-than). Nephilim: As mentioned in the video, there are two main interpretations of Nephilim, Fallen Angels and Giants, however both of these beings actually exist in Jewish Legend so here goes... Fallen Angels: There are two main stories considering Fallen Angels, the first is with Adam, before Adam's mate Chavah was created the Demon Queen Lil!th (you're not meant to say/write her name 🤷♂️) had kids with Adam, these human/demon hybrids are known as Fallen Angels. I should mention that "Demons" in Jewish Legend isn't the same as in modern culture, all creations - even Satan - are just doing G-d will, it's just some of them have to do the dirty work, those are Demons (simple explanation, it's obviously a lot more complicated). The second story is around Noah's time, two Angels came to G-d and said "See, told you so, man are terrible, let us go down to Earth and show you how we are better then them". These two Angels - Shamchazai and Azael - came to Earth and immediately 'fell' and started sinning, as with Adam their offspring they had with Humans are Fallen Angels. Giants: All Humans were 'Giants' at the beginning of the world, and slowly shortened as time went on, however some individuals didn't shorten, such as Og, who was reportedly 3 meters tall AS AN INFANT. Some estimate his adult height as around 97m (200 cubits). Goliath from the famous David and Goliath story was one of the last of the Giants to exist, at an estimated 3 meters. Other creatures: Phoenix: The Phoenix was the only creature to not participate in the Sin of the Tree of Knowledge (Adam fed the fruit to all the creatures, something which is not often mentioned these days, the Phoenix refused) G-d granted the Phoenix eternal life, every 1000 years it makes a nest of Cinnamon sticks and lights it on fire, with him burning in the flames. A new egg emerged from the flames and out comes a baby Phoenix. Human/animals Hybrids: Creatures such as Centaurs, Minotaurs, Mermaids ect do exist in Jewish Legend, just not on this world (it's complicated) "365 kinds of Human Beasts exist, some half snake half human, some half lion half human. Some have the snake half on top and some the snake half on the bottom." Golem: Guess this kinda counts, some really powerful Rabbi's gathered different kinds of mud and shaped it as a human, after some special prayer (lost to time) and putting a paper with one of G-d's name in it's mouth, the Golem rose. The Golem isn't very intelligent and can only preform basic tasks but does so till told otherwise. It was tasked to protect the Jews of Prague, Poland and did so until no longer necessary. It had the Hebrew word for 'truth' on its forehead 'אמת'. The 'א' was removed to kill it, making the Hebrew word 'מת' 'death/dead'. This was WAY longer then it should of been 😅 but if you want more creatures from Jewish Legend let me know! 👌

In Norse mythology, there's also a gigantic serpent named "Jormungandr" who holds the world together by encircling it with its' gigantic body and bites its' own tail.
I studied the Old Testament in depth in school (a Jewish school), and I remember learning that the original unicorn was actually a large, shaggy goat that did exist but went extinct because the species’ pelts were used to make the Mishkan (Tabernacle). The Leviathan also existed and was the origin of Jörmungandr, but it was too large and would have decimated the earth had it reproduced, so G-d killed the male and saved the female in Heaven for the Feast of the Righteous during the End of Days.
2:22 honestly that description if pretty good.
By the way, Russians call hippo as "бегемот", which sounds exactly the same behemoth sounds, but with some nuances: "h" turn into "g", and "th" turns into "t". This word is clearly bible infuenced.

The beast called the Manticore is found in the bible (Isaiah 9.14-15). The monster with the head of a lion (Leo) and tail of a scorpion (Scorpio) became the biblical Israel. The four sons of Ham (heat) are, in birth order, Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. This monster called Israel represents the ancient season of summer, when the year was divided into three seasons of Winter/Shem/Nahor aka Sagittarius thru Pisces. Spring/Japheth/Abram = Aries thru Cancer. Summer/Ham/Haran = Leo thru Scorpio. The head is the Lion/Leo aka the nobility/royalty, the tail is the scorpion aka the liar found throughout the bible. Virgo is the palm frond/branch (see Virgo holding palm frond in right hand) and Libra (water plant) is the first of the southern constellations known as the sea of stars.

The word "Re'em" actually translates in Hebrew to an oryx (which is a kind of antelope), Unicorn would translate to "Had Keren" (The 'H' is pronounced like the 'ch' in "chutzpa") - "Had" meaning singular and "Keren" meaning horn, "Had Keren" = Unicorn

After doing some research myself, I’ve found out that the descriptions of the Behemoth in Job, could be referring to the long extinct primitive rhino, Paraceratherium. (also called Indricotherium and Baluchitherium) While others mistaken Behemoth for a Sauropod or Titanosaur, its description seems to match that of a mammal, which would honestly better fit the description of Paraceratherium when put into context. “Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!” This references the extreme muscle and bulk the animal has. Paraceratherium is known for being extremely strong, bulky and muscly. Especially since it weighs 20 tons is 4.8 metres in height (at the shoulder) and is 7.4 metres long. Far bigger than that of an Elephant. “Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit. Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.” When looking at the biology of Paraceratherium, it’s quite clearly almost a perfect match Paraceratherium had possibly the thickest, densest bones of any mammal discovered. (Prehistoric or living) Also, its tail is both 2.5 metres long and thick. Way longer and thicker than any other mammals tail. This is what it’s referring to when it’s tail “sways like a cedar”. “It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword”. Refers to its majesty. It’s too mighty of an opponent for mortals to fight it. Only god himself can kill such a beast. “The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it”. This refers to the fact that Paraceratherium is related to that of rhinos. its possible habitat and diet, as noted by observing living rhinoceros species, matches the description in the Bible. Today you find species of rhinoceros inhabiting both savanna and mountainous ecosystems. They eat a range of foliage including grass, sedges, shrubs, ferns, submerged and floating plants, twigs, fruit and leaves of trees, just as the Bible indicates. The fact that some rhinoceros species eat aquatic plants indicates that the Paraceratherium may have spent considerable time in rivers, which would have also helped keep it cool-and why the book of Job mentions it “A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth” “Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?” Is possibly saying that it’s too big and monumental to capture or subdue compared to those of Elephants, Hippos and Rhinos. Paraceratherium might be the Behemoth. After all back then Elephants and Rhinos were considered to be the biggest terrestrial animal ever. So it’s no wonder an animal of such monumental size and strength would be considered almost godlike. It’s also possible that God is referring to beasts of the past, which would explain why Paraceratherium died off 11 million years before humanity evolved. As if god is saying to Job, “You’ve read the old texts, I’ve created beasts of gargantuan proportions and strength long before I created man”. This would fit into the narrative that god is humbling Job. And might not literally be referring to the river Jordan drying up completely because of Paraceratherium. But it’s probably figuratively, as in it has the potential to swallow the entire Jordan river. Not as if it actually did. Still would be awesome if I’m completely wrong and Behemoth is instead a mythological beast beyond our comprehension.
Honestly the bememoth just sounds like a Brachiosaurus 🦕. It’s huge, eats grass, and loves being in water. On top of that the leviathan could be a giant sea serpent, the ocean is still vastly under explored.

Largely unexplored, sure. But not in terms of giant creatures, and definitely not once coming close to the surface or even shore. Yes, mathematics give a graph that were still missing about six marine giants, but those are very unlikely to ever come to the surface, or a sea as relatively shallow as the Mediterranean

@@dominiklehn2866 That is true. I guess a better way to put it is that it may be an animal that is extinct like the Brachiosaurus or it is one of those mysterious marine giants in depths unknown. In the Bible, God explains the magnificence of the leviathan and how a battle with it was stupid basically. It may have never come to the surface before and likely never will. But it would be cool if there is a sea dragon somewhere in some deep underwater cave lol.
I remember reading that giant sea serpents seen by sailors were probably whales surfacing to breathe. Look up videos of whales breaching and you'll see it's not hard to imagine sailors would mistake this gigantic smooth-skinned creature lurking just below the surface of the ocean. They might even mistake water blown out of the blow hole for smoke billowing from the monster's nostrils.

Yup. Crocodiles could very easily represent Leviathan, as it has been documented for them to spray water upwards in displays. This could easily be mistaken for steam, and of course God wants to get the creature he’s talking about across to his audience of the time so whatever they believe about the creatures he says.

As far as the battle between a god and a leviathan, Job is thought to be one of the oldest books of the bible, perhaps even before Abraham, and by proxy predating some of the religions that have that battle. It is easy to see how God's description of Leviathan could be interpreted as a retelling of a battle between the two. I love this topic, and this is probably my favorite part of biblical history.
In the oldest Finnish translation of Bible, Behemoth was called a hippo (in Finnish "virtahepo").
The way God describes the behemoth is a shockingly accurate description of a sauropod, such as the bones being of brass and its tail like a cedar.

Behemoth and Leviathan (as well as Tiamat, Yamata no Orochi, and Typhon) were also featured in the MonsterVerse as five of the Titans. In the MonsterVerse, Behemoth resembles a cross between a woolly mammoth and a gorilla and lives in the Amazon Rainforest, Leviathan resides in Loch Ness (which implies that Leviathan also happens to be the Loch Ness Monster), Tiamat is a sea serpent previously contained in Stone Mountain, Typhon was previously contained in Angkor Wat, and Yamata no Orochi was previously contained near Mount Fuji. All of them were awakened by King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Behemoth is a Mammoth? The earliest known memory of a genetic ancestor who ran into a wooly mammoth that were not affected and preserved enough to understand the transitional phase.
The behemoth is describing a dinosaur, in the Bible it states the dinosaurs lived as the same time as we did. Just another dinosaur. It also states before Noah’s ark everything was vegan, but after they gave animals as food for us.

The Bible actually never mentions dinosaurs
Hippos don't have tails like a cedar tree. I'm thinking God is probably describing a dinosaur here, not a hippo because in verse 19 it alludes to this creature being extinct, " He is the chief of the ways of God; He that made him can make His sword to approach unto him." meaning that even if it's the strongest of God's creations, God can still destroy the creature.
