Main Entry: le·vi·a·than
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin, from Hebrew liwyAthAn
1 a often capitalized : a sea monster defeated by Yahweh in various scriptural accounts

abraham was from messerpotamia, so everything in the bible (and in jewish folklore) that predates abraham is from mesopotamian mythology. and since it probably changed over 5000 years going by word of mouth through the jews, your better bet is to check out the gilgamesh deal (it's in there isn't it?)
anyway, there was a serpent (who was bad) and god killed him, creating the heavens and the sea or something like that.
the end
ps: matrim's right, we are clearly not meeting our jewish quota.
