Gen. 1:11      Gen. 1:13

Genesis 1:12

Yes, the earth brought forth vegetation – seed-bearing plants according to their kind and trees bearing fruit according to their kind.
[Verse 11 is formed as a chiasm where the first line corresponds with the last, the second with the second to last, etc. The phrase “Let the earth bring forth vegetation” corresponds to “above the earth.” At the next level, seed-bearing plants correspond to the phrase “that bear fruit.” Central to this is “fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind.”
Hebr. deshe is a general word for greenery. Hebr. min comes from a root meaning “to divide, to portion out,” and the word is used for the biblical classification of plants and animals. The concept is used both for large main groups of animals and for specific species, see verses 11, 12, 21, 24, and 25. See also Gen. 6:20. The earth (Hebr. erets) becoming green means that the ground now has vegetation, but this also includes all aquatic plants in the sea, see verses 9-10.]
And God (Elohim) saw [what he had accomplished]: Yes [emphasis], it was good (purposeful, beautiful)!
