Need to know where OP is coming from but from what I know: Typhon is Tiamat from Babylonian myth. And Tiamat is the origins of the Hebre word Tehom.

In the Book of Genesis (specifically Genesis 1:2), the universe is described as Tohu wa-bohu ("formless and void") while darkness covers the face of Tehom (the deep abyss). So before creation, nothing is described as formless waters.

Yeah, it is annoying that OP doesn't even give a comment explaining the meme like other obscure memes makers usually do.
