Word of the Day - 1/16/2009

Caudate

Caudate means having a tail or taillike appendage.

There has been much debate as to what arcane creature of Job 40 known as the Behemoth actually is. What cannot be denied is that it is caudated.

"He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are knit together." (Job 40:17, NASB)

Note: This image of Behemoth and and her counterpart Leviathan was illustrated by William Blake (1757-1827).
