Commentary
'Then' means after a delay from the descent of water. We have differentiated between it in the lands and the vegetation. 'We split' means by that which we have of greatness. 'The earth' with the vegetation that is in the utmost weakness in splitting the most difficult of things. So how about the dry earth that is extremely hard when it comes into contact with water? And the meaning is confirmed by saying: 'a splitting'.
