Of God's great power in the leviathanWhen Leviathan rises up The term "Leviathan" is derived from the Hebrew word "לִוְיָתָן" (Livyatan), which is often associated with a formidable sea creature or dragon-like entity in ancient Near Eastern mythology. In the context of Job, Leviathan symbolizes chaos and the untamable forces of nature, representing God's unmatched power in creation.

Verse 25. - When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid. Egyptian historians said that one of their early kings had been slain by a crocodile (Manetho ap. Euseb., 'Chronicles Can.,' pars 1:20, p. 98). The worship paid to crocodiles in some parts of Egypt, and the hatred felt towards them in others, were probably alike inspired by fear. AElian says that, in the districts where crocodiles were worshipped, it was not safe for any one to wash his feet or to draw water at the river, and that in the vicinity of some towns people did not dare to walk along the bank of the stream ('Nat. An.,' 10:24). In modern times they have been known to precipitate men from the bank into the water by a sweep of their tail, and then to devour them at their leisure. By reason of breakings they purify themselves; rather, they are confounded. The "breakings" may by either the breakings forth of the animal from his lair among the Nile rushes, or his "breaking" of the weapons of his assailants.Parallel Commentaries ...
