Leviathan
One of the demonic angels who is associated with the
primordial deep of the seas. The name Leviathan
means in Hebrew “that which gathers itself together in
folds.” In rabbinic lore, he is associated with the
Rahab, angel of the sea. Leviathan is personified as an
enormous whale who is impervious to all weapons.
In Job, Leviathan is a sea
DEMON
. In Jonah,
Leviathan is a whale who swallows Jonah and keeps
him in its belly for three days, until God orders Jonah
to be vomited up. In Isaiah, Leviathan is the “fleeing
serpent” and “twisting serpent,” “the dragon that is in
sea,” whom God will slay at the end of time. (27:1)
Both Leviathan and Behemoth were created on the
fifth day.
