I don't claim to be a Bible scholar I just take note of similar passages as I read. what I found is:
Ps.74:13-14 it was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters. It was you who crushed the heads of the Leviathan & gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
To the serpent God says Gen. 3:15..he will crush your head & you will strike his heel.
Rev. 12:13 then another sign appeared in heaven:an enormous red dragon with 7 heads & 10 horns & 7 crowns on his heads.
YOUR SCRIPTURE Job 40:15-19 look @ the behemoth which I made among you and which eats grass like an ox. what strength he has in his loins what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close knit. His bones are like tubes of bronze his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks 1st among the works of God, yet his maker can approach him with his sword.
Refer to Gen. 3:14 & in Rev 12:4 the dragons tall sweeps 1/3 of the stars from the sky & flings them to earth.
All of Job 41.
Is. 27:1 the Lord will punish with his sword. .. leviathan, the gliding serpent, the coiling serpent, he will slay the monster of the sea.
Other Scriptures I compared were Ez.28; Rev.12:7-9,11; 20:1-6. Luke 10:18-20. Is.14:12-15. Ps. 104:26
So whether the behemoth, leviathan, dragon, serpent, devil & Satan are all 1 is not something I'm trying to prove here. I'm merely pointing out similarities I see in the Scriptures hoping it helps your study.
