Re: Job 40:15-8
זנב
- στύπος 'Stump, Stem'
- στιβάς (סוף) 'bed of straws. rushes or leaves'
- Τυφώς (סופה) - Typhoon , Whirlwind
סוף means 'Reed' and the lexicon mistakenly gives an Egyptian origin, but it is the same as the verb
that means 'End' (Amos 3:15) and זנב can also describe the end or a rush (Isaiah 9:14) and thus they are described as tail-ends.
סוף is στιβάς 'bed of straw, rushes, or leaves'
Job 40:21
קנה - κάννα 'reed'
צאלים - στόλον ' stump of the tail'
בצה
- βάτος 'bramble, blackberry, on that treads '
- βούτομον 'a flowing rush'
- στιβάς ' spread as bedding, treading, rime, hoar frost'

Re: Job 40:15-8
1. The root ערב is related to רפה, ‘limp, sag, droop’.
2. there are internal indications that Job describes the volcanic regions of East Africa

Re: Job 40:15-8
If Job is describing the volcanic regions of East Africa then its in a Carthaginian context and ערב is another word for West (Psalm 103:12).
Hesperides (Ἑσπερίδες) also called Atlantides (Ἀτλαντίδων)
"The Hesperides tend a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world, located near the Atlas mountains in North Africa at the edge of the encircling Oceanus, the world-ocean."
Since Hebrew tends to reverse Prefixes and Suffixes, the word Ἑσπερίδες (אשפרד) becomes Paradise(פרדאש)
and παραδείσῳ is the Septuagint name for Eden.

Re: Job 40:15-8
The whereabouts of Job is unknown.
Job 1:1 - עוץ - Σκυθία? (Scythia)
-Gen 10:23-
Aram - Ἀρμενία
Uz- Σκυθία?
Hul - Κολχίς
Gether - Ἰστρίη?
Mash - Μόσχοι
עציון־גבר - Scythian Harbor
1Kings 22:48 - Jehoshaphat made ships of Carthage to go to Ophir where there is Gold.
אופר - Aurum 'Gold'
פז - Φᾶσις 'River Phasis, the boundary of Europe and Asia, land of Gold

I do need to investigate if the Phoenician had colonies around the Black Sea.

Re: Job 40:15-8
סוף is like סוב, the point of turning back, the high point of the road. A turn rises like an U, while this — is flat, thin and low.
סף SAP, related to צף, ‘float’, as in סַף הַשַּׁעַר of Ezekiel 40:6, is the swelling by the door, the threshold. Also a tall cup, a ספל SEPEL, as in Zechariah 12:2, and so is the tall סוּף.
זנב is, indeed, related to סב and סף. Also to סעף, סנף, צנף.

Re: Job 40:15-8
I have solved the etymology of Elephant, from Μέγα βοῦς "Big Ox".
Ox - Bos, βοῦς, βόσκημα, βῆμα, בים , במה, בהמה
(A) μέγᾶ βος → μέγᾶ δος → μέγᾶ δολ → מגדל → גדל
(B) μέγᾶ βος → έγᾶ βος → έλᾶ βος → ἐλέφας
μεγαλέων = עליון = ὑπερίων = עבריון (Synonyms)
μέγας → μέγαδ → μαδ → מאד
These match the Ancient Egyptian " m-k-tỉy-r , m-g-ꜣ-dy-r , m-ky-dy-l-t and m-k-tỉ-r," that are various renderings of Migdol
thereby revealing the Biblical name of Elephantine.
Ezekiel 29:10 ( מגדל סונה )
The tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
Herodotus 2:30
Watchposts at Elephantine facing Ethiopia

Isn't an elephant an elevant?

Re: Job 40:15-8
The Hebrew root גדל has in it the letter ל L for 'elevate'.
