OET (OET-LV)There please Behemoth which I_made just_as_you grass like_the_ox it_eats.

OET (OET-RV)  ⇔ Now look at the sauropod which I made on the same day as you.
 ⇔ It eats grass like a cow.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הִנֵּה

see/lo/see!

Yahweh is speaking as if he wants Job to behold or look at an animal that is not present. Yahweh is using sight to represent attention. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “consider”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

בְ֭הֵמוֹת

behemoth

See the discussion of the name Behemoth in the General Notes to this chapter to decide how to represent this name in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֣יתִי עִמָּ֑⁠ךְ

which/who made just_as,you

Yahweh means that he made Behemoth just as he made Job, not that he made Behemoth at the same time when he made Job. Alternate translation: “which I myself created, just as I created you”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

חָ֝צִ֗יר כַּ⁠בָּקָ֥ר יֹאכֵֽל

grass like_the,ox eats

There is an implied contrast here. This great beast has the size and strength to hunt and kill other animals; nevertheless, it lives on plants. (This may be an implicit indication that such great wild beasts remain under the restraint of Yahweh.) You may wish to indicate this contrast in your translation, in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “despite its great size and strength, it eats grass like an ox”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

חָ֝צִ֗יר

grass

Yahweh is probably using one kind of plant, grass, to mean all kinds of green plants that animals eat. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “green plants”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

40:15-24 Following a list of natural animals (39:1-30), God described Behemoth (40:15-24) and Leviathan (41:1-34) as creatures that man cannot tame. Job couldn’t tame the wild donkey or ox (39:5-12), let alone Behemoth and Leviathan (40:15-24), but God created them and could control them, and Job had to acknowledge it (41:2).
• Here Behemoth seems to be a natural creature: (1) It is an animal that God made, just as he made Job (40:15); (2) it is not a dreadful predator but eats grass like an ox (40:15); and (3) it is in a poem describing God’s creation of the natural order, rather than in a mythological story of the world’s formation. Most commentators identify Behemoth with the hippopotamus, a huge, grass-eating animal (40:15-19) that lies in the river among the lotus plants and reeds (40:21). Like the wild ox, Behemoth is powerful (40:16-18, 24; 39:11), yet is essentially peaceful (40:20-23).
