Genesis 2:2-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

3. And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4. These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:

5. And every plant of the field before it spring up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.

6. But a spring rose out the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.

7. And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

8. And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.

9. And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10. And a river went out the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.

11. The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.

12. And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
