Firstly, I presume that you are referring to Genesis of the Old Testament in the Bible. The book is divided into three thematic sections. They are the Fertile Crescent, Israel and Egypt.
It is believed that the author of certain parts of the Bible is Moses. These books form the “Pentateuch.” These books include Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. Although some scholars reckon that the vulgate consisted of extensions and revisions from the Yahwist, Eloist of Torah, Deutronomists and even Priestly sources.
There is no difference as there are different themes or sections but not really different versions. Unless you refer to different editions of the Bible, most of which have been rendered from the present day Catholic Vulgate which was translated into modern languages by St. Jerome.
You probably refer to the 2 different sections of the book of Genesis 1:1-2:3 and 2:4-2:5 respectively. These are the sections that involve creation. They are both included in the Catholic breviary (daily reading schedule of the year).
