Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee, 1825, William Blake, British, 1757-1827, 8 1/2 x 6 5/8 in. (21.59 x 16.83 cm) (sheet, mount), Engraving, England, 19th century, Here, God explains the mystery of the incessant warfare in the human world. He reaches down through the cloud-barrier with his left hand to indicate Behemoth and Leviathan. These two creatures exist in man himself; God proclaims to Job 'Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee.' (Job xl: 15-24; lxi: 1-34). The cloud-barrier of Job's world includes the sphere in which they exist; it is a picture of the subconscious, the unredeemed portion of psyche, which the bulrushes identify as Egypt-the unredeemed portion of mankind. These are the terrible forces within man, against which he seems helpless: 'the War by Sea enormous and the War by Land astounding, erecting pillars in the deepest Hell to reach the heavenly arches' (Blake, Jerusalem, 91: 39-42). They also function as a means of God's providence.
