This chapter is incomplete. Please contribute to ChabadPedia and complete it. There may be more details in the discussion page.

The Maharal explains that the leviathan and the wild ox are fundamentally different from other animals and beasts, like the fruits of the Garden of Eden that are fundamentally different from the fruits in this world. The Alshich explains that the leviathan has a spiritual quality.

In Likkutei Torah, it is explained that the righteous whose work is purely spiritual are of the aspect of the leviathan. And they will elevate the righteous who deal with physicality, who are of the aspect of the wild ox, and through this will bring about an elevation for them as well. It is further explained in Chassidus that the leviathan alludes to the 248 positive commandments, and the wild ox to the 365 negative commandments.
