Re: "leviathan"

Hey Jonny .... How did you come up with the name "Leviathan" ?

did a quick search on "Google" and it led to this


http://www.deliriumsrealm.com/delirium/mythology/leviathan.asp

i quote :

'And that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named Leviathan in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of water; and (the other), a male called Behemoth, which holds his chest in an invisible desert whose name is Dundayin, east of the garden of Eden.' - 1 Enoch 60:7-8

But what of a Male called "Behemoth"

Behemoth, a spirit of the desert, possibly derives from the Egyptian for "water buffalo" or from the Egyptian deity, Taueret, about whom the Greek historian, Herodotus wrote. The term "Behemoth" in the Hebrew is the plural form of the very common "behemah" referring to a beast of use to humans or a dumb animal. It is being used here, however, as a single entity.

or is there another reason ?
