I always like it when the professional crazies weigh in.

    I don’t think their are any contradictions on the leviathan and it gets a whole chapter in job 41.

      On the other hand, maybe the leviathan was a crocodile. Some scholars and translators think so.

        I’ve heard that before. Maybe it was artistic language but they talk about smoke and fire coming from its mouth, not something crocodiles are know for.

        Lol The leviathan and the behemoth mentions in Job were probably my favorite parts of the Bible growing up. When I was bored at church as a kid I would reread them from the pew Bible.
