There is no serious textual evidence that any of the biblical authors were aware of the existence of dinosaurs. Reference to the leviathan have only been interpreted as referring to dinosaurs by modern day Creationists.

The fossil record shows a huge number of creatures of all sizes which would not conceivably be covered by a single term, "leviathan."

People incorrectly refer to dinosaurs when they read about 2 creatures in Job.
Job 41:1-8 "Leviathan"....most likely a refernce to the Crocodile

Job 40: 15-19 "Behemoth"....refers to Hippopotomus

I think you are refering to the Behemoth and Leviathan in Job 40-41, after some research i found the actually represent the Hippo and the Nile Crocodile respectively
