Genesis 2:5-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

13. And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia
