Psalms 104:14 Midrash: Sifrei Devarim

מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְה֥וֹצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; To bring forth bread out of the earth,

Sifrei Devarim

Variantly: "And I shall give grass in your field to your field": This is flax. And thus is it written (Psalms 104:14) He makes flax sprout for the beast, and grass for the labor of man."
