Genesis 1:20-21
1:21 a Contrary to the pagan idea that the great sea creatures were co-eternal with God, Genesis states that God created them and is sovereign over them. The Hebrew word tanninim (“creatures”) elsewhere refers to crocodiles (Ezek 29:3 b), powerful monsters (Jer 51:34 c), or the sea creature Leviathan (Isa 27:1 d; cp. Job 41:1-34 e).
