Tehom is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
Profile
Origin
Tehom[a] is Hebrew for "the deep" and its use here comes from Genesis 1:2, which states that, prior to creation, "darkness was upon the face of the deep" (King James Version). This term is linguistically related to the name of Tiamat, both coming from the Semitic root t-h-m, meaning "sea".
Design
Tehom's design is likely split in two parts because, in Genesis 1:6-8, God places a firmament (heaven) to "divide the waters from the waters" (King James Version).

There is a theory that the process by which God divided heaven and earth into two is related to the process by which Marduk divided Tiamat's body into two parts to create the world in Babylonian mythology. |
