Difference between revisions of "Leviathan"

<p> '''Leviathan''' (''jointed monster'' ). This word occurs five times in the [[A.]] [[V.,]] and once in the margin, &nbsp;Job 3:8, where the text has "mourning." In Hebrew the word ''livya-than'' is found only in &nbsp;Job 3:8; &nbsp;Job 41:1; &nbsp;Psalms 74:14; &nbsp;Psalms 104:26; &nbsp;Isaiah 27:1. In the margin of &nbsp;Job 3:8 and text of &nbsp;Job 41:1 the crocodile is no doubt the animal meant, and also in &nbsp;Psalms 74:14. In &nbsp;Psalms 104:26 the name represents some animal of the whale tribe in the Mediterranean; but it is uncertain what animal is intended in &nbsp;Isaiah 27:1. The term may denote some species of snakes which are common in south and west Africa. </p>
