"God said, the earth will let grass seed, grass seeding seed, fruit tree making fruit to its sort, that its seed has in it on the earth ..." [Genesis 1:11]When God planed the world that he will create, God wanted that there will be food to all living on face of the soil, and at first to man.
The God said to the earth: "Now, when there are not in water covered all of you - Start to fill your duty."
"I will do so", the earth said to God, and "also how?""Cause to grow trees of fruit and trees of beauty, grow bush, grass and grass.
The trees will grow and will give fruits, there will be food to man and to cattle, to beasts and to birds.
The trees will grow, and they will give also shade.
In sade of trees, sons of tha man will rest in the hot days and from tree yrunk the man will be able to build house for him.
"So I will do", the earth said to God.Then the ground began to cause to germinate seeds, and to cause to grow bush and trees, grasses.
The young sprouts tried to raise head of them, and to straighten up it from the face of the ground, they tried to raise oneself and to grow, and fall.
"Ground, mother ground-" then one bud cried, that he was not open to blossom, " How I will live so?"
The ground was hard and was very dry, face of it was grooves and grooves, the rain was not yet created that will irrigate it and will give life to it."My God", branch sobed that on it with small and yellow, "See face of my leaves, poor and falling off, Is this the beautiful tree that request to create to glory?"
"The man and rain come together", then the God promised to ground , to trees and to flowers,"Be able to go up and blossom, straightn up head and give fruits."Bent head, like shameful, the grass and the tree, the flower and the vegitable, the seed and the plant stood, and wait to man that will come to helping.
The man will be able to pray for the rain going down, the man will be able to irrigate from water of the small rivers and the rivers to the dry ground, and he will eat from fruit of the trees, and will enjoy from beautiful the blossoming and will be able to build with tree.On this contact, Rabbi Simeon Bar Yohai said after may years:
If not earth then not rain.
and if not rain then not earth.
and if not both then not man.
