Revised Standard Version
47 “On the fifth day thou didst command the seventh part, where the water had been gathered together, to bring forth living creatures, birds, and fishes; and so it was done. 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.
