Studie

       

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no rasor come upon his head.

Behemoth

  

In Job 40:15, the behemoth signifies the natural man as to the goods called delights of natural love. (Apocalypse Explained 455[18])

"Behemoth" has the same meaning as "beast" in the Word, namely, the natural affections that belong to man. Therefore it is said, "behold, the Behemoth, which I have made with thee." His spiritual pasture is true knowledge; this is meant by "he eats grass like an ox." (Apocalypse Explained 507)
