In the Bible, Leviathan is described as a sea monster or serpent that is mentioned in several books of the Hebrew Bible, including Psalms, the Book of Job, the Book of Isaiah, the Book of Amos, and, according to some translations, in the Book of Jonah. In Job 41, Leviathan is described as a fierce and untamable beast that is covered with impenetrable armor and has a mouth full of deadly teeth. It breathes fire and smoke and churns up the sea like an ink pot. Nothing on earth is its equal. In Psalm 74:14, Leviathan is killed by God and given as food to the Hebrews in the wilderness. In Isaiah 27:1, Leviathan is a serpent and a symbol of Israel’s enemies, who will be slain by God. The leviathan is a real creature, familiar to people by reputation if not by sight, and it is subject only to God.
