³⁸ and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body.

¹¹ And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed `is' in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.

¹² And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed `is' in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that `it is' good;

¹⁴ Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

¹¹ For, as the earth bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!

²⁶ And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

²⁷ and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how;

²⁸ for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear;

²⁹ and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.'

⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;
