Why aRehemothn Survives.

The books of the New Testament
were originally In Greek; those of the
Old Testament, Of course, in Hebrew.
When the first authorized version"
of the Bible was framed, early in the
seventeenth century, the scholars who
undertook the work of translation
were puzzled to identify some Of the
scriptural beasts. The crocodile was
unknown in Europe at that period,
and, not having even heard Of the
hippopotamus. they let the Hebrew
word "behemoth" stand.
