Two insects circling husband, beast in Bible (8)
I believe the answer is:
behemoth
'beast in bible' is the definition.
'behemoth' can be an answer for 'beast' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'in bible' bit.
'two insects circling husband' is the wordplay.
'two insects' can mean two replacements for 'insect'.
'insect' becomes 'bee' (bee is a type of insect).
'insect' becomes 'moth' (moth is a kind of insect).
'circling' means one lot of letters goes inside another (circling can mean going around or containing).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'bee'+'moth'='beemoth'
'beemoth' enclosing 'h' is 'BEHEMOTH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for behemoth that I've seen before include "Abnormally large creature" , "Huge animal as from the Bible" , "Huge or monstrous person or thing" , "Great beast of the Bible" , "Giant" .)
