Subject: is it animal? |
Bible Note: Hi eklektos, Thanks for your note. You got me interested and I looked up the word "leviathan," got the following verses: Job 3:8 May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. Job 41:1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? Psalm 74:14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Psalm 104:26 There the ships sail about;There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there. Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea. It is very interesting to know the animal has more than one head (Psalm 74:14), some sort of serpent (Isaiah 27:1), and sea-living creature (Psalm 104:26). And I also found many instances of the word "dragon" in both old and new testaments. Now I know that leviathan and dragon are two different beasts. So let me take back my previous assumption of calling "leviathan" dragon. iktoose |
