The tradition of Baal as the slayer of the sea and its monsters was also known in Palestine (→Leviathan). This is shown, for instance, by the fact that in later times Baal’s victories have been ascribed to Yahweh. In passages which are almost literal echoes of certain Ugaritic texts and expressions, Yahweh is celebrated as the one who defeated Yammu and the sea dragons tannîn, liwyātān, nāḥāš, bārîaḥ respectively nāḥāš ʿaqallātôn (Isa 27:1; 51:9–10; Jer 5:22; Ps 74:13–14; 89:10–11).
