Dinosaur?

can someone please explain this to me?

Dinosaur: Any of various extinct, often gigantic, carnivorous or herbivorous reptiles of the orders Saurischia and Ornithischia that were chiefly terrestrial and existed during the Mesozoic Era.

Job 40:

"Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. It eats grass as cattle do. 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 tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. It is a prime example of God's handiwork, and only its Creator can threaten it. The mountains offer it their best food, where all the wild animals play. Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan river should surge against his mouth. Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?"

Also a term coined in the 1842 during the (re)discovery of these creatures.
