It says that on the 3rd day, God made plants and vegetation:
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. [SUP]12[/SUP]The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.
Then just before he made Adam and Eve, it states that no plant had sprung up yet:
Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[SUP][a][/SUP] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, [SUP]6 [/SUP]but streams[SUP][b][/SUP] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Then the Lord God formed a man[SUP][c][/SUP] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
