Usages

Genesis 1:11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Breakdown

The Most High designed the plants and animals with seed in themselves to keep producing. This solves the age-old conundrum, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?": The chicken with the egg inside. This verse also goes into proving that the sun is not the life force of the earth, as the grass, herbs and fruit trees were growing before the sun was made.
