Job 40:19

"He is the first in the ways of God": Not the first animal created, but the first in size the strength. Again, hippos and elephants are impressive (some hippos weigh up to 6000 pounds), yet but dinosaurs were far more massive, weighing up to 30 tons.

Job 40:19 "Let his maker bring near his sword": This suggests that only the Creator Himself could go up against this brute in hand to hand combat. "Behemoth dare not be approached with the sword, yet the Egyptian monuments frequently picture single hunters attacking the hippo with. spear" (Jackson p. 86). Jackson also reminds us that we know that dinosaurs did survive the flood. In Rhodesia there are cave paintings of the ancient brontosaurus left by. race of tribesmen who lived about 1500 B.C..
