50 You separated them from each other because the sea wasn't big enough to hold them both.
51 You let Behemoth live on a part of the land that you dried up on the third day of creation; it is a land of a thousand mountains.
52 You let Leviathan live in the sea. You kept them both alive, so that your chosen people may feast on them at the time you choose.
