It is often used metaphorically to describe tumultuous or stormy behavior, reflecting a sense of chaos or haughtiness. In the biblical context, it can also refer to a mythical sea monster or symbol of chaos, representing opposition to God’s order.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sea monsters or chaotic waters were often depicted as adversaries to the gods, symbolizing disorder and rebellion against divine authority. The Hebrew Bible occasionally uses "rahab" in this mythological sense, drawing on cultural imagery familiar to its original audience to convey theological truths about God's sovereignty over chaos and pride.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to act stormily, boisterously or arrogantly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>confused (1), importune (1), made me bold (1), storm (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">רָהַב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>act stormily, boisterously, arrogantly</b></font> (Ecclus 13:8;
