וְכֹ֣ל ׀ שִׂ֣יחַ הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה טֶ֚רֶם יִֽהְיֶ֣ה בָאָ֔רֶץ וְכָל־עֵ֥שֶׂב הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה טֶ֣רֶם יִצְמָ֑ח כִּי֩ לֹ֨א הִמְטִ֜יר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאָדָ֣ם אַ֔יִן לַֽעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃
Wala pang anumang palumpong sa parang sa lupain, at hindi pa sumisibol ang anumang halaman sa parang, sapagkat hindi pa nagpapaulan ang Walang-Hanggan, ang Diyos, sa lupain, at wala pang taong magbubungkal ng lupa.

R. Assi pointed out a contradiction between verses. One verse says: And the earth brought forth grass, referring to the third day whereas another verse No shrub of the field was yet in the earth.when speaking of the sixth day says: This teaches us that the plants commenced to grow but stopped just as they were about to break through the soil, until Adam came and prayed for rain for them; and when rain fell they sprouted forth. ,This teaches you that the Holy One, blessed be He, longs for the prayers of the righteous.
