Two Hebrew words are thus rendered though they are sometimes translated whale, serpent, jackal, or sea-monster. Probably a large snake or snakelike animal in Deut. 32: 33; Ps. 74: 13; Ps. 91: 13. A jackal in Job 30: 29; Isa. 13: 22; Isa. 27: 1; Isa. 34: 13; Isa. 35: 7; Isa. 43: 20; Isa. 51: 9; Jer. 9: 11; Jer. 10: 22; Jer. 51: 34; Mal. 1: 3. Used figuratively in Ezek. 29: 3. In the New Testament it is always used figuratively, as in Rev. 12: 3, 7, 9, 13, 16; Rev. 13: 2, 4, 11; Rev. 16: 13; Rev. 20: 2. Cf. Mosiah 20: 11; Alma 43: 44.
