<Matthew>
>>What are the exact definitions of all of the synonyms for the word "plant"
in Genesis 1 and 2? Also, what are your takes on the plants of Genesis 2
not having been made because no man was to til the earth, yet they are
created on Day Three in Genesis 1?

<Bill>
These are usually reconciled by having the second word mean "cultivated
plant" as in orchards or gardens, rather than wild herbage.
