Genesis 2:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.

2. And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.

3. And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.

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

5. and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.

6. But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
