(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
It is unclear in Jewish literature the differentiation between Tannin, Rahab and Leviathan, but Tannin and Rahab are more easily confused one with the other.
Tannin, as well as Rahab, was a name applied to Egypt after the exodus of the Israelites from that country.
