Food given, and all that God had made very good (Genesis 1:29–31)

Says God assigns food by speech. Humans are given “every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed” (1:29, BSB). Every beast, bird, and crawling creature “that has the breath of life in it” is given “every green plant for food” (1:30, BSB). “And it was so.”

Says “And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.” (1:31, BSB). The verdict covers all that he had made. The day closes with evening and morning. BSB “the sixth day” places the article where the Hebrew has it only on the ordinal.

Implies Plant food for humans and for animals stands inside that verdict on all God made. Later permissions are not taken up here.

Genesis 2:1–3, the seventh day, is context only and is not treated here.
