2 Esdras 6:51

2 Esdras 6:51 Context

⁴⁸For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works. ⁴⁹Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan; ⁵⁰And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both. ⁵¹Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills: ⁵²But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, the moist; and hast kept him to be devoured of whom thou wilt, and when. ⁵³Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things: ⁵⁴And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.
