And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

90. Verses 5-6. And there was no shrub of the field as yet in the earth, and there was no herb of the field as yet growing, because Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth; and there was no man to till the ground. And He made a mist to ascend from the earth, and watered all the faces of the ground. By the “shrub of the field” and the “herb of the field” are meant in general all that his external man produces. The external man is called “earth” while he remains spiritual, but “ground” and also “field” when he becomes celestial. “Rain” which is soon after called “mist” is the tranquility of peace when combat ceases.
