Dragon in the Sea

Post by Ethan »

Isaiah 27:1 - Dragon in the Sea

I suspect the word תַּנִּין [Tanin ] derives from from πτύων [Ptuwn] " Spit" and the word Dragon from יָרַק [ Yaraq ] "To Spit" and רֹק[Roq] "Spit" that appears in Joshua 19:46 רַקּוֹן [Rakkon ] and this verse writes ' מֵי הַיַּרְקוֹן ' [ Dragon in the Sea ] that is before Joppa [יָפוֹה] where Jonah went down to find a ship, after which he was swallowed by Cetus [ Dragon in the Sea] , who 'spat out' Jonah in verse 2:10 upon dry-land , the name Jonah means Dove " Winged " [Isaiah 27:1 - Dragon in the Sea

Another word for 'Spitting' in Hebrew is תֹּפֶת [Topheth] , the meaning behind Τυφωεύς [ Typhoeus] or Typhon [serpentine giant] often associated with the Phoenician region or River Orontes.

The story of Perseus is also associated with the region of Phoenicia [קֵינִי] , whom defeated Cetus[חָתַת], with the head of Medusa [מַטֶּה] and it's blood turned the river red [ Exodus 7:20] , What affirms the regional association , there is a River in the Levant that does in fact turn Red, due too the volume of red soil washed off the mountains. River Abraham .

Paus. 4.35 Red water, in colour like blood, is found in the land of the Hebrews near the city of JOPPA [not Jaffa]. The water is close to the sea, and the account which the natives give of the spring is that Perseus, after destroying the sea-monster [Dragon in the Sea] , to which the daughter of Cepheus[סוּף] was exposed, washed off the blood in the spring.
