He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
