4 Ezra 6:51–52: And thou didst give Behemoth one of the parts which had been dried up on the third day, to live in it, where there are a thousand mountains; but to Leviathan thou didst give the seventh part of the watery part; and thou hast kept them to be eaten by whom thou wilt, and when thou wilt.
