The verse No. 30 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:30
In the article 29, Genesis 1:29 says: Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
Consequently, the Bible determines man’s food; it is every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.
In the verse Genesis 1:29, Herbs and fruits must be man’s food, including corn, and all the products of the earth; it seems likely that the Bible is in favor of the vegetarians.
Furthermore, Genesis 1:30 determines also the food of all the animals and all the birds, the verse says:
And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
This indicates that the food of all the beasts of the earth, all the birds of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life are the green plants.
It is clear then that the green plants are the food of all the animals and all the birds.
Because birds have a high temperature and use lots of energy, they need to eat a lot of food, compared with their weight.
Birds eat different foods. Some birds eat green plants. Other birds eat fish, insects, small reptiles and mice. Birds of prey eat mammals and other birds. Some birds are scavengers and eat the bodies of creatures that have died.
But the Bible in Genesis 1:30 determines the food of the birds, that is “every green plant”.
As for the beasts, every kid knows what they eat.
But the Bible too decides that the food of ALL the beasts is “every green plant”.
However, and to be honest, in Ezekiel 39:17 God will have birds and beasts eat human flesh and drink human blood…

The verse No. 30 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:5
The verse No. 29 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:4
In the articles 26-29, Matthew 2:1-4 say:
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
In this article, Matthew 2:5 says:
They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
This is the second prophet who is unidentified and not mentioned by name; Matthew 2:5 mentions without his name. The first prophet is found in Matthew 1:22

Verse No. 30 in the Noble Quran is 2:23,
Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),
Verses 2:1-5 are talking about the believers. (articles 8-12)
Verses 2:6-7 are talking about the disbelievers. (articles 13-14)
Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites. (articles 15-27)
The address of verses 2:21-24 is general to mankind.
In articles 28, verse 2:21 says:
O mankind! worship your guardian-lord, who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to learn righteousness(so that you will be cautious)
In articles 29, verse 2:22 says:
Who (Allah) made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and (who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits; therefore do not set up rivals to Allah while you know.
In this article, Verse 2:23 says:
and if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our servant (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.
The meaning of verse 2:23:
And if you are in doubt, in uncertainty, concerning what Allah has revealed through the Archangel Gabriel unto His servant, Muhammad, whom you accuse of fabrication of the Quran, that it is from Allah, then bring a Surah like it, then produce a Surah like it in its eloquence, fine arrangement and its bestowal of knowledge of the Unseen.
And call your witnesses, seek help from those other gods that you worship, it is said that this refers to their leaders that they follow, besides Allah, that is, other than Him, so that it can be seen, if you are truthful, in your claim that Muhammad speaks it from himself, that Muhammad invents the Quran. So do this, for you are also fluent speakers of Arabic like him. When they could not do this, Allah said… (See next article).
A Surah of the Quran is a chapter (a passage) with a beginning and end made up of a minimum of three verses)
It is fruitful to know that Chapter 108, Surah AL-KAUTHER (ABUNDANCE) is composed only of 10 Arabic words.
It follows that Allah challenges mankind by producing 10 Arabic words like it (like the Quran) in its eloquence, fine understanding and its assignment of knowledge of the Unseen.
As far as I know, this is the First Linguistics Challenge in the History of Mankind. No author (s) in the history of mankind has the courage to generate a challenge like that. Thousands of scholars came from the Western countries to the East, they have studied thoroughly the Arabic language, some of them wrote books and encyclopedias in Arabic. However, none of them tried to produce 10 Arabic words to beat this unbeaten challenge. Also, they did not tell the people in the West about this unbeaten challenge. Have you ever heard about it?

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
Wait and you will see.
