2 Esdras 6:45-50

1. 45 Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:

2. 46 And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made.

3. 47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.

4. 48 For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.

5. 49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan;

6. 50 And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both.
