Genesis 1:14-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

14. And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

15. To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.

16. And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.

17. And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.

18. And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19. And the evening and morning were the fourth day.

20. God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.

21. And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22. And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.

23. And the evening and morning were the fifth day.

24. And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
