וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼElohīm see/lo/see! I_give to/for=you(pl) DOM all/each/any/every plant seed-bearing seed/offspring which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of all the=earth/land and=DOM all/each/any/every the=tree which/who in/on/over=him/it fruit tree/message seed-bearing seed to/for=you(pl) will_belong for=food )
God is still speaking to the human beings, so it may be necessary to add “also” to this quote margin. Some languages need to specify who is being spoken to. Other languages may leave this quote margin implied, since the same subject (God) is talking to the same people. However, the repeated quote margin in the Hebrew text could show that God paused before continuing or that he is changing the topic, or it may be to emphasize what he says next. So if it is natural to keep the quote margin here in your language, that is best. Alternate translation: [Then God also said to them] or [Then he added]
