Genesis 1:1-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.

2. And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

3. And God said: Be light made. And light was made.

4. And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.

5. And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.

6. And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7. And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.

8. And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
