Usage: The term עֵטִישָׁה appears in the context of describing a physical reaction, specifically sneezing. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to depict a vivid image of a creature's power and vitality. Context: The Hebrew word עֵטִישָׁה (etishah) is found in the Old Testament in the book of Job. It is used in Job 41:18, where it describes the sneezing of the Leviathan, a formidable sea creature. The passage highlights the creature's might and the awe it inspires, as its sneezing is depicted with dramatic imagery: "His sneezes flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn" (Job 41:18, BSB). This description serves to emphasize the grandeur and fearsome nature of the Leviathan, a symbol of chaos and power in ancient Near Eastern literature. The use of sneezing in this context is unique and serves to illustrate the creature's overwhelming presence and the divine power that created it.
