uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־אֵ֑ל

he/it beginning_of works god

Yahweh is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “It is the first of my ways”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־אֵ֑ל

he/it beginning_of works god

Yahweh is speaking of the things that a person has done as if those were ways or paths that the person had walked along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It is the first of my works”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־אֵ֑ל

he/it beginning_of works god

Yahweh is using the word first in a particular sense to mean “chief” or “greatest.” He does not mean that he created Behemoth before he created any other animal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It is my greatest creature”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ה֭וּא רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֵי־אֵ֑ל

he/it beginning_of works god

Yahweh is likely using the word first, meaning “greatest,” as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “It is one of my most powerful creatures”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

הָ֝⁠עֹשׂ⁠וֹ יַגֵּ֥שׁ חַרְבּֽ⁠וֹ

the,maker,his approach sword,his

Yahweh is once again speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “When I made it, I provided it with a sword”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָ֝⁠עֹשׂ⁠וֹ יַגֵּ֥שׁ חַרְבּֽ⁠וֹ

the,maker,his approach sword,his

Yahweh is speaking of Behemoth as if it literally had a sword. The following verse suggests that he is most likely referring to the long, sharp tusks that it used to shear the plants that it ate. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “When I made it, I provided it with long, sharp tusks”

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).
