of Rahabרָהַבrahav

Rahab, arrogance

Rahab: it means "the proud one," "the one who storms." In biblical poetry it is the name of a sea monster, a figure of the forces God overcame (Job 9:13; 26:12; Psalm 89:10; Isaiah 51:9); it is also a poetic name for Egypt (Psalm 87:4; Isaiah 30:7). It is not the woman of Jericho, whose name is spelled differently in Hebrew.

Where else “rahav” appears

Translation note

“Rahab”: here it is not the woman of Jericho (Joshua 2), whose name is written differently in Hebrew. It is the name of a sea monster, which in these passages appears defeated by God (Job 26:12; Psalm 89:10; Isaiah 51:9).
