The Hebrew Word

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and G-d saw that it was good.
This passage literally reads "Went forth from the earth vegetation..."
Last use in Scripture
The last time yatsa is used in Scripture is in Malachi 4:2.
