⁵ and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,

²³ Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

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;

⁷ For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,

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

¹² when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.

²² Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou -- Thou hast done all these!

⁷ Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

⁹ Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God `is' full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

¹⁰ Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

¹¹ Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

²⁶ To cause `it' to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.

²⁷ To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?

²⁸ Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

¹⁰ Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places.

² and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
