This was before there were plants on the earth. Nothing was growing in the fields. This was because the Lord had not yet made it rain on the earth. And there was no person to care for the plants.
The Lord God made every beautiful tree and every tree that was good for food to grow in the garden. In the middle of the garden, the Lord God put the tree of life and also the tree that gives knowledge about good and evil.
In the past, {you planted, and your plants grew well. But now} you will plant, and the ground will not help your plants grow. You will not have a home on the earth. You will wander from place to place.”
King Ahab said to Obadiah, “Come with me. We will look at every spring and every stream in the land. We will see if we can find enough grass to keep our horses and mules alive. Then we will not have to kill our animals.”
Animals of the field, don’t be afraid.\par The desert pastures will grow grass.\par The trees will grow fruit.\par The fig trees and the vines will grow\par plenty of fruit.\par
So the person that plants is not important, and the person that waters is not important. Only God is important, because he is the One who makes things grow.
