¹¹ Then God said, “Let vegetation sprout all over the earth, including seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each kind containing its own seed!” And that is what happened: ¹² Vegetation sprouted all over the earth, including seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each kind containing its own seed.

He plants wheat in rows, barley in its designated place, and feed for livestock around its borders, doesn’t he? ²⁶ His God instructs him regarding the correct way, directing him how to plant. ²⁷ For caraway is not threshed with a sharp sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin. Instead, caraway is winnowed with a stick, and cumin with a rod. ²⁸ It must be ground; one cannot keep threshing it forever. Even if he drives his cart and horses over it, he cannot crush it. ²⁹ This insight also comes from the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, who is distinguished in practical advice and magnificent in sound wisdom.”
