Verses 29-31

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day."

The dominion of mankind over the animate creation was summarized in Genesis 1:28f; and here that dominion was extended to the vegetable world also. The lesser dominion of the animals over the vegetable world was also noted in Genesis 1:30.

"And, behold, it was very good ..." The goodness and wisdom of God are thus attested by the goodness of his creation. Finding fault with some of God's created things is wrong and fails to take into account the curse later imposed upon creation "for Adam's sake" (Genesis 3:17).
