RAHAB

Dans le Talmud, Rahab (bruit, tumulte, arrogance) était un dragon de mer mythique, l'ange démoniaque de la mer, responsable de la création d'énormes vagues. Il devint un démon, habitant de la mer, associé particulièrement à la mer rouge, le mot Rahab désignant aussi le peuple égyptien. In Jewish folklore, Rahab (noise, tumult, arrogance) is a mythical sea monster, a dragon of the waters, the "demonic angel of the sea". Rahab was the angel of insolence and pride, responsible for shaking the waters and producing big waves; he is also responsible for the roaring of the sea. Rahab later became a particular demon, inhabitant of the sea, especially associated with the Red Sea.
