Di Mana Dinosaurus Disebutkan dalam Torah?

Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Torah in Sefer Bereishit, Parashat Bereishit, chapter 1, verse 21. The Torah says: "Vayivra Elohim et ha-taninim ha-gedolim" - "And God created the taninim ha-gedolim." Now, if you look at the English translation, it says "great sea giants" or "sea monsters," but this is an incorrect translation. The word "tanin" in Hebrew means reptile or lizard, and "gedolim" means giant or great. So "taninim ha-gedolim" literally means giant reptiles - which is exactly what dinosaurs are by definition. This is mentioned specifically on the fifth day of creation, when HaKadosh Baruch Hu created the creatures of the water and the sky. The Torah separates these giant reptiles from all the other animals, showing they were a unique creation. Beyond this, there are other references to dinosaurs and giant animals throughout the Tanakh and in the Oral Torah. The Re'em is mentioned nine times in the Tanakh - in Tehillim (Psalms), the book of Iyov (Job), in Devarim chapter 33, and in Bamidbar chapter 23. The Re'em was an enormous animal, a combination of a bull and a deer, but in dinosaur size - bigger than anything Hollywood shows you. David HaMelech himself encountered one. When he was a shepherd with his sheep, he climbed what he thought was a mountain, but then the mountain started moving. He realized he was actually standing on top of a Re'em - that's how enormous this animal was. The Gemara also discusses these giant creatures. In Bava Batra, it mentions huge animals that the sages encountered. So dinosaurs are very much part of the Torah and our tradition - they just have Hebrew names, not the Latin name "dinosaur" that scientists use today.
