καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ὑμῖν πᾶν χόρτον σπόριμον σπεῖρον σπέρμα, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπάνω πάσης τῆς γῆς· καὶ πᾶν ξύλον, ὃ ἔχει ἐν ἑαυτῷ καρπὸν σπέρματος σπορίμου· [ὑ]μῖν ἔσται εἰς βρῶσιν,
God assigns humankind's food: every seed-bearing plant and every fruit-tree — a diet without meat, matching the wide vegetarian reading many ancient and modern commentators have drawn from this verse (contrast the permission to eat meat given later, after the Flood, in Genesis 9:3).
