Genesis 1:11

וַ יֹּאמֶר אֶלֹהִים תַּדְשֵׁא הָ אָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע עֵץ פְּרִי עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי לְ מִינֹו אֲשֶׁר זַרְעֹו בֹו עַל הָ אָרֶץ וַ יְהִי כֵן

And elohim is saying, the earth is sprouting a sprout25 of grass; a seed is he-who-causes-to-sow26 a wood of fruit , he-who-makes a fruit to-from-us,27 which his seed is in-himself28 upon the Earth, and he is becoming an upright.

"Creating Oneself"

You have heard it said "according to its kind." (cf. Strong’s #4327, מן min. Form, race, species, kind.)

This is also the preposition "from". Strong's #4480, מן min from

ל-מינ-הוּ

to-from-himself

This is a compound of the two prepositions to and from and the suffix himself.

This was missed because it is language from an eternal point of reference. From himself to himself in the circuit of time. The connotation is quite close, nonetheless to the idea of "after its kind" since such a seed is "creating himself". But bias affects what we see, i.e. the mind above vs. the mind below.
