sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Describes the leviathan, a great sea serpent, in Isaiah's picture of God's final victory over evil powers. Interpretation: Tradition reads the leviathan as a symbol of the great powers hostile to Israel, or as a creature kept for the righteous in the world to come. God's sword punishes it at the end of days.
