Exploring Leviathan and Behemoth in Biblical and Apocalyptic Texts

This chapter of The Lord of Spirits podcast analyzes biblical monstrous creatures like Leviathan and Behemoth, as well as other spiritual beasts from apocalyptic biblical texts, focusing on the etymology and meaning of the word Leviathan and its portrayals as a sea serpent-like creature associated with deceit and evil. The discussion also includes insights into the listener's question regarding the Hebrew word for sea, Yom, its potential connection to Leviathan and Behemoth, and the concept of interacting with Yom in Semitic paganism through rituals and sacrifices for safety at sea.
