Contextual Overview

15 Beholde the beaste Behemoth, who I made with thee, which eateth haye as an oxe: 16 Lo how his strength is in his loynes, and what power he hath in the nauil of his body. 17 When he wyll, he spreadeth out his tayle lyke a Cedar tree, all his sinowes are stiffe. 18 His bones are lyke pipes of brasse, yea his bones are lyke staues of iron. 19 He is the chiefe of the wayes of God, he that made him wyl make his sword to approche vnto him. 20 Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde take their pastime. 21 He resteth him in the shade, in the couerte of the reede and fennes. 22 The trees couer him with their shadowe, and the wyllowes of the brooke compasse him about. 23 Beholde, he drinketh vp whole ryuers and feareth not, he thinketh that he can drawe vp Iordane into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes, and yet the hunter putteth a bridle into his nose.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow,.... Under which it lies, as in Job 40:21; which is thought not so well to agree with the elephant, since, according to Aelianus h and other writers, it lies not down, at least but rarely, but sleeps standing; it being very troublesome to it to lie down and rise up again; and besides it is represented by some authors i as higher than the trees, and therefore this is supposed to agree better with the river horse; especially since it follows,

the willows of the brook compass him about; or the willows of the Nile, as some choose to render it; which would put it out of all doubt that the river horse is intended, if it could be established, it being an inhabitant of that river; and yet the above writer k speaks of elephants, when grown old, seeking large thick and shady woods to take up their abode in.

h Ibid. (Aelian. de Animal.) c. 31. i Ibid. l. 7. c. 6. k Ibid. c. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The shady trees - Probably the “lote-trees;” see the note at Job 40:21. The same word is used here.

The willow-trees of the brook - Of the “stream,” or “rivulet.” The Hebrew word (נחל nachal) means rather “a wady;” a gorge or gulley, which is swollen with torrents in the winter, but which is frequently dry in summer; see the notes at Job 6:15. Willows grew commonly on the banks of rivers. They could not be cultivated in the desert; Isaiah 15:7.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 40:22. The willows of the brook compass him — This would agree well enough with the hippopotamus.
