Seed after his kind

1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw it was good.

There's not much new here, but let me point out that, for all the repetition, the verses rarely perfectly parallel one another.  Here, for instance, the "it happened" follows the "and it was so" from the previous verse, while verse 7 reads "it happened: and it was so."  Here, as with light and dry land, God saw it was good.  But that didn't happen with the creation of heaven.

Also, there's a subtle difference between the repeated parts of this verse and the previous.  In the previous verse we had "grass, the herb yielding seed"; now we have "grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind".  Before we had "the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself"; now we have "the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind".  The distinctions seem too subtle to be important, and apparently God thought it was good enough; but the distinctions are there nonetheless.

This version is a slight improvement technically, since it clarifies that you can't grow barley from wheat seeds.  Other than that, what's the point or the differences?

It just makes me want to take a red pen, scribble notes, and get the author to fix the inconsistencies.  Or perhaps I should just do the rewrite myself.
