| 1374 | ENT_CAN_YAM | received_as | ENT_ISR_LEVIATHAN | medium | Yam (Ugaritic Sea/Judge-River) as storm god's chaos adversary parallels Yahweh's combat with sea and sea-monsters in Psalm 74:13–14 ("You divided the sea ... you broke the heads of the sea monsters"), Isaiah 51:9–10, Job 38. Hebrew poetry conflates chaos sea and chaos monster (Leviathan/Rahab), absorbing Yam's role as cosmic antagonist of the storm deity. Distinct from the Lotan→Leviathan chain: this transmits the storm-god/sea combat function, not the serpent's name. Day 1985 pp. 31–87 treats the Yam tradition in Israelite texts. | SRC_DAY_GODS_CONFLICT | reviewed | PER_ISR_EXILIC |
