Quote :

     'And that day will two monsters be parted, one monster, a female named Leviathan in order to dwell in the abyss of the ocean over the fountains of water; and (the other), a male called Behemoth which holds his chest in an invisible desert whose name is Dundayin, east of the garden of Eden.'

    1 Enoch 60:7-8

     'His back is made of rows of shields,
    Shut up closely as with a seal...
    His sneezings flash forth light,
    And his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
    Out of the mouth go flaming torches;
    Sparks of fire leap forth...
    In his neck abides strength,
    And terror dances before him.

    Book of Job

     "In that day the Lord will punish,
    With His great, cruel, mighty sword
    Leviathan the Elusive Serpent--
    Leviathan the Twisting Serpent;
    He will slay the Dragon of the sea.

     Isaiah 27:1
