And God said, 'Look, I have given you every plant that produces seeds, which grows on all the earth, and every tree that bears fruit with seeds in it. These will be your food.'

📚 Historical Context
In the beginning of the Bible, Genesis chapter 1 describes God's creation of the world over six days, culminating in the formation of humans on the sixth day. God then provides plants and fruits as food for humanity, establishing an initial order where people live in harmony with the earth and depend on its resources for sustenance. This verse is part of the broader narrative of God's perfect design before the introduction of sin in Genesis 3.
