Taurine Angel

Taurine Angel - In Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews V, 39, there is mention of the "roaring of the taurine angel," which is said to be a recast of the Babylonian belief about the god Ea.  The full name of the angel is "the taurine angel of the abyss" and his roar is heard when he "causes the water from the lower abyss to be poured into the upper abyss." [Rf. Talmud Ta'anit 35b; also Bereshith Rabba 10.]  It will be recalled that Rahab, angel of the deep, was destroyed by God when he refused to separate the upper from the lower waters at Creation.
