2 Esdras 6:48-50

Revised Standard Version

⁴⁸ The dumb and lifeless water produced living creatures, as it was commanded,^[a] that therefore the nations might declare thy wondrous works.

⁴⁹ “Then thou didst keep in existence two living creatures;^[b] the name of one thou didst call Be′hemoth and the name of the other Levi′athan. ⁵⁰ And thou didst separate one from the other, for the seventh part where the water had been gathered together could not hold them both.
