Ge 2:4  This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;


6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

Moses shows his Israelite readers here that God is the provider of Man.

He was the one who grew plants and herbs for man. There was no rain at the beginning, there was no man to work on the ground, so God caused a mist to go up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. Then He caused the growth of vegetation for man on the third day.

All was done by His divine power on behalf of Man. No other diety or god did it. God alone is their resource.
