We now comes to an important set of evidences linking the Serpent Lilith to Leviathan.\u00a0 By linking her to Leviathan, the source of many of the rather odd rabbinic beliefs concerning Lilith can be discovered.\u00a0 The Bible declares that Leviathan dwells in the midst of the ocean.\u00a0 Leviathan flees from before God, who casts it into the sea as a bebased creature to be mocked in the midst of the waters.\u00a0 Leviathan and its companion Behemoth (which we shall see is her seed) are the ultimate examples of might and power upon the earth.\u00a0 God\u2019s judgment and slaying of them are the supreme demonstration of his power to all the world.\u00a0 As such, Leviathan and its companion Behemoth play critical roles in the end times.\u00a0 They are the key features of the dinner supper of the damned at the final judgment.\u00a0 The damned shall feast upon their flesh.\u00a0 This is contrast to the marriage supper of the righteous who are saved.\u00a0 They spiritually partake of the flesh of Messiah, and they enter his kingdom as his bride.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is widely believed by readers of the Bible that Leviathan is just a sea monster (such as a whale) that is used in the Bible as a metaphor to demonstrate some spiritual points.\u00a0 This is certainly understandable, as it is said to dwell in the ocean, and in Job 40 it is allegorically described as some type of fantastic monster.\u00a0 The more learned scholar sees that there has to be much more to Leviathan than just a sea monster.\u00a0 The power ascribed to Leviathan is too great for a mere beast.\u00a0 It is the king of all sons of pride (Job 41:34).\u00a0 It breaths fire.\u00a0 The crushing of its head in the end-times at the hand of God is the ultimate demonstration of God\u2019s power.\u00a0 According to Isaiah, its role in the end-times is as prevalent as the Serpent.\u00a0 God will judge with the sword all the mighty and wicked upon Leviathan.\u00a0 Any scholar who seriously studies Leviathan and the Serpent, soon conclude the two are the same.\u00a0 This is an easy conclusion. \u00a0Four times in the Bible Leviathan is called a Serpent, the very title of the garden\u2019s villin.\u00a0 In Amos 9 Leviathan is also called \u201cthe Serpent.\u201d \u00a0In Isaiah Leviathan plays such an important role in the end-times judgment, Leviathan would crowd out the importance of the Serpent if the two were not the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amoung scholars Leviathan is widely acknowledged to be another title for the Serpent of the garden.\u00a0 This acknowledgment is certainly what the kabbalistic rabbis did in construing Lilith\u2019s fate after the garden. \u00a0From Leviathan many aspects of Lilith\u2019s legend can be confirmed.\u00a0 Leviathan is described as a serpent fleeing from God.\u00a0 It dwells in the seas, and God shall crush its head in the great Day of Judgment. These facts confirm key aspects of Lilith\u2019s legend.\u00a0 Namely, that she fled as a fugitive from the garden, that she came to inhabit the seas, and that in the Day of Judgment the promised seed of Eve would crush her head.<\/p>\n

Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible in seven passages – Job 3:8, 26:13, 41:1; Ps 74:14, 104:26; Amos 9:3; and Isa 27:1.\u00a0 Two of the more informative references are Job 26:13 and Isa 27:1.\u00a0 Those passages describe Leviathan as a \u201cfleeing serpent.\u201d\u00a0 My literal translations are given below, along with the word-by-word break down is in Table 3\u201112 and Table 3\u201113.\u00a0 The word for \u201cfleeing\u201d in Job 26:13 is bariyach (.\u00a0 In Isa 27:1 the word is barach (xrb – Strongs 1272), the root of the prior bariyach.\u00a0 Both variants mean to break off and \u201cto flee\u201d or \u201cto escape\u201d, as in being a fugitive.[1]<\/a>\u00a0 Thus, Leviathan is described as fleeing and being a fugitive from some situation.\u00a0 This matches a key element of Lilith\u2019s legend \u2013 that she sprouted wings and fled from the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Table 3\u201112: A Transliteration of Job 26:13<\/p>\n

The literal Hebrew of Job 26:13 in Table 3\u201112 shows that God\u2019s hand had chullah (sp hllx) the fleeing serpent. \u00a0The meaning of chullah has two theories.\u00a0 Perhaps the confusion is intentional in the Hebrew of Job, and by a poetic play-on-words, both meanings were intended to be allowed.\u00a0 The KJV and others assumes chullah must a unique variant of chuwl (lwx – Strongs 2342) found nowhere else in the Bible.\u00a0 Chuwl means \u201cto twist\u201d or \u201cto turn.\u201d \u00a0It can also mean \u201cpain\u201d, from the sense of writhing or twisting in agony. \u00a0Thus the passage can be understood to say that God\u2019s hand had \u201cpained\u201d or \u201ctwisted\u201d the fleeing serpent. \u00a0However, the plain spelling of the word indicates another meaning.\u00a0 The only five other times hllx appears exactly spelled elsewhere in the Bible, it is always interpreted as challah, a shortened form of chaliylah (hlylx – Strongs 2486), which literally means \u201cto profane\u201d or \u201cto make utterly abhorred.\u201d[2]<\/a>\u00a0 To be profane means to be eschewed and debased for reason of committing a wrong, unworthy, or vulgar act.\u00a0 In Lev 21:7 and 14 challah is used twice to denote a \u201cprofane\u201d woman that is unfit to be a wife of a priest.\u00a0 The passages put her is in the same category as a whore and harlot.\u00a0 The implications of this verse to Lilith is obvious.\u00a0 Its states that God\u2019s hand had caused to be profaned (eschewed through debasement) the fleeing serpent Lilith.\u00a0 This matches the severe curse against the Serpent in Genesis that she would be lower than every cattle of the field.\u00a0 Futhermore, Leviathan was profaned just as an unfit woman was profaned from being the wife of a priest.\u00a0 This matches Lilith\u2019s profanement from being Adam\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

From Isaiah 27 we also learn that in a day of judgment, God shall slay Leviathan.\u00a0 This matches Lilith\u2019s legend that Eve\u2019s promised seed would crush the Serpent\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isa 26:21-27:1 (KJV)<\/p>\n

26:21\u00a0 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.<\/p>\n

27:1\u00a0 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isa 26:21-27:1 (My Literal)<\/p>\n

26:21\u00a0 For, behold, Jehovah shall come out of his place to visit the iniquity of inhabitants of the earth upon them, and the earth shall uncover her blood, and shall not again cover her slain.<\/p>\n

27:1\u00a0 In that day Jehovah shall appoint with his sword the stiffnecked and the great and the strong upon Leviathan the fleeing serpent and upon Leviathan the twisted serpent; and he shall slay the dragon which is in the sea.<\/p>\n

Table 3\u201113: A Transliteration of Isa 27:1<\/p>\n

From the Isaiah passage, we learn other fascinating facts concerning Leviathan.\u00a0 In the great Day of Judgment, certain wicked people are slain by Jehovah and \u201cappointed\u201d or \u201creckoned\u201d upon Leviathan.\u00a0 These people are the stiffnecked and prideful, the great and powerful, and the strong.\u00a0 As we shall see in later sections, this is consistent with Lilith\u2019s role in the judgment of the end days.\u00a0 More remarkably, Isaiah implies there are two Leviathans.\u00a0 There is the fleeing Leviathan, and there is the twisted or torturous Leviathan.\u00a0 Kabbalistic writings have explained that these represent two aspects of Lilith, one being male (the Fleeing Serpent) the other female (the Twisted Serpent).\u00a0 In Isa 27:1, the dragon refers to the body, and Leviathan refers to the spirit.\u00a0 In the mystical writing of the brothers Jacob and Isaac Hacohen of Castile, which predates the Zohar by a few decades, Lilith was created like Adam as an androgynous being.\u00a0 Just as Eve was attached to Adam\u2019s side, so too was Samael attached to Lilith\u2019s side.[3]<\/a> \u00a0As we shall see in later sections, the Zohar also speaks of two Liliths.\u00a0 There is Evil Lilith and Sinful Lilith.\u00a0 These are heavily mystical topics that will be covered later.\u00a0 For now, let us continue to investigate the clear evidences linking Lilith to Leviathan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In its discussion of Leviathan, Psalm 74:14 confirms more elements of Lilith\u2019s legend.\u00a0 It states Leviathan dwells in the seas (as does Psalm 104:26).\u00a0 This confirms the Lilith legend that she came to dwell in the sea.\u00a0 Psalm 74 also speaks of God crushing the heads of Leviathan.\u00a0 This confirms Leviathan\u2019s identity as the Serpent, as it again matches God\u2019s curse on the Serpent in Genesis that Eve\u2019s promised seed would crush the head of the Serpent.\u00a0 The plural \u201cheads\u201d in Psalm 14 is in probable reference to the multiple \u201cdragons\u201d in verse 13 (the bodies) and the two Leviathans (spirits) in Isa 27:1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Psalm 74:13-15 (KJV)<\/p>\n

13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.<\/p>\n

14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.<\/p>\n

15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 74:13-15 (My Literal)<\/p>\n

13 You broke the sea in your strength: you broke to pieces the heads of the dragons in the waters.<\/p>\n

14 You crushed the heads of leviathan.\u00a0 You will deliver us him to be food for people to dry places.<\/p>\n

Table 3\u201114: A Transliteration of Psalm 74:14<\/p>\n

There is another clue in Psalm 74 that Leviathan is Lilith.\u00a0 It involves the drying up of the seas when Leviathan is slain.\u00a0 The drying up is consistent with Lilith\u2019s judgment in Isaiah 34.\u00a0 Isaiah 34 has the only passages in the Bible that directly mentions Lilith by name.\u00a0 There it is related that she dwells in the seas, and that in the day of the final judgment the waters of her abode shall be dried up.\u00a0 Section 3.21 will discuss in detail the appearance of Lilith in Isaiah 34.\u00a0 For now, it is sufficient to say that that Leviathan\u2019s judgment in a dried sea matches that of Lilith in Isaiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The drying up of the seas in Ps 74:13-15 during Leviathan\u2019s judgment can be seen in all three verses.\u00a0 Verse 13 relates that in breaking the heads of the dragons, God will dry up the seas in which Leviathan lives.\u00a0 The Hebrew word used is parar (rrp – Strongs 6565).\u00a0 It means \u201cto break\u201d, \u201cmake void\u201d, or \u201ccause to cease.\u201d \u00a0It is very often used in the sense of breaking an oath.\u00a0 In verse 13 it implies that God caused the sea to cease, or evaporate.\u00a0 This notion is confirmed in verses 14 and 15.\u00a0 Verse 15 recalls that it is in God\u2019s power to unleash floods and dry up mighty rivers.\u00a0 Verse 14 tells us that Leviathan will be served up as food for people \u201cto dry places.\u201d\u00a0 It is not that Leviathan\u2019s body will be transported to deserts, but the place of his abode and slaying will become dry.\u00a0 This feeding of Leviathan to the people is considered a critical element of the great Banquet celebrating the triumph of Messiah at the end of the age.\u00a0 According to rabbinic Aggadah, not only will Leviathan\u2019s body be for food, but also its skin will be used to make tents for the people.[4]<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is another fascinating aspect of Leviathan to learn from Psalm 104.\u00a0 As can be seen from a literal translation of verse 26 in Table 3\u201115, God created Leviathan in order that he exist \u201cfor a derision\u201d in the sea.\u00a0 The word meaning \u201cderision\u201d is sachaq (qxs – Strongs 7832). \u00a0Although the KJV and others translate it as \u201cplay\u201d, it more literally means \u201cto deride\u201d, \u201cto mock\u201d, or \u201cto laugh\u201d in a derisive way.\u00a0 Therefore, the passage relates that God created Leviathan in order that it would become disparaged in the midst of the Sea.\u00a0 This is precisely Lilith\u2019s fate.\u00a0 In her punishment she was confined to the depths of the sea.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Psalm 104:24-26 (KJV)<\/p>\n

24 \u00a0O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.<\/p>\n

25 \u00a0So is<\/em> this great and wide sea, wherein are<\/em> things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.<\/p>\n

26 \u00a0There go the ships: there is<\/em> that leviathan, whom<\/em> thou hast made to play therein.<\/p>\n

Psalm 104:26 (My Literal)<\/p>\n

26 \u00a0There ships are travelers of that Leviathan you had formed for a derision in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Table 3\u201115: A Transliteration of Psalm 104:26<\/p>\n

Amos 9:3 also provides evidence identifying the garden\u2019s Serpent as Leviathan.\u00a0 In Amos God declares that he will hunt down transgressors wherever they may flee.\u00a0 If they go to the bottom of the sea, then he will command ha\u2019nachash (\u201cthe Serpent\u201d) there to bite them.\u00a0 Amos 9:3 is generally acknowledged as a reference to Leviathan.\u00a0 However, Leviathan here is called only ha\u2019nachash (the Serpent), which is the precise title of the Serpent in the garden.\u00a0 Thus, Amos 9:3 confirms that the Serpent of the garden is Leviathan, and that the Serpent dwells in the bottom of the sea.\u00a0 This all matches the Lilith legend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amos 9:3 (KJV)<\/p>\n

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is one final bit of non-Biblical information confirming Leviathan is Lilith.\u00a0 Leviathan also appears in the Apocryphal Book of First Enoch.\u00a0 In the book of Parables of First Enoch, Leviathan is specified as being female.\u00a0 She is also associated with the abyss of the ocean and the fountain of waters there.\u00a0 As we saw earlier, these fountains of waters are the same source of Noah\u2019s flood and the mist which arose to water the ground when Lilith was formed.\u00a0 Lilith\u2019s home is said to be the sea.\u00a0 There is a much more profound link between Leviathan and Lilith in this passage.\u00a0 However, that is an end-times topic to be discussed in section 8.6.2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First Enoch: Parables 60:7-8 (translated by R. H. Charles)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> Note that the KJV incorrectly translates both bariyach and barach in the passages.\u00a0 In Job it mistranslates bariyach as \u201ccrooked\u201d and then in Isaiah it mistranslates barach as \u201cpiercing.\u201d\u00a0 The ASV, YLT, ILB, and many other modern translations correct these errors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> These exact spelling matches of challah come in Ge 18:25, Le 21:7 and 14, and in Job 34:10.\u00a0 The KJV often translates chaliylah as \u201cGod forbid\u201d or \u201cfar be it\u201d, as in \u201cGod forbid\u201d that such and such should happen, or \u201cfar be it\u201d that such and such happen.\u00a0 However, it should be literally understood as saying, it is \u201cutterly abhorred\u201d that such and such should happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
