2"Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground." — Genesis 2:5 (NIV)
🌱 Why This "Pause" Matters:
• Divine timing: Plants awaited human stewardship (vs. Genesis 1’s overview)
• Two missing elements:
Heavenly provision (rain)
Human labor (work the ground)
• Eden’s uniqueness: First plants grew by mist (Genesis 2:6), not rain
💦 Fun fact: This explains why Middle East cultures value irrigation—it mirrors Eden’s mist system!
