καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου, σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος καὶ καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν, οὗ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ κατὰ γένος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἴδεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι καλόν.

The setting

The command of 1:11 is fulfilled, told in almost identical words. Here the extra clause εἰς ὁμοιότητα is absent (matching Brenton), one of the small internal inconsistencies within Swete's own printed text that this reader preserves rather than smooths over.
