Genesis 1:12
“And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 1Meaning
Vegetation appears in correspondence with God's command, and its capacity for continued fruitfulness is included within the evaluation of goodness.
Read carefully
The verse describes the result in the categories of the narrative. It should not be made to answer technical questions about plant development that the text does not discuss.
Reflection
The recurring phrase that God saw it was good invites attention to ordinary created life as worthy of affirmation rather than merely useful background for human beings.
