ra.hav is a proper name associated with a dragon-like foe in Isaiah and named alongside places in Psalms.

The attested use presents a proper name: Isaiah 51:9 places it as the one hewed and paired with “the Dragon,” while Psalm 87:4 names it alongside Babylon and other places. In Psalm 89:11 the supplied APB wording does not visibly show the term’s contribution.

   In Isaiah 51:9, the proper-noun form occurs as the object of the one who “hewed Rahab” and “bore the Dragon” in the APB’s rendering of the clause. In Psalm 87:4, the proper-noun form is named with Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush; in Psalm 89:11, the supplied APB renders the verse about the heavens, earth, and world without visibly reflecting the term.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly prints “Rahab” in Isaiah 51:9 and Psalm 87:4, but Psalm 89:11 contains no visible corresponding wording. Its omission does not identify the term’s precise contribution there.
