1	GEN 1:1	Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
2	GEN 1:2	When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
3	GEN 1:3	God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
4	GEN 1:4	God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
6	GEN 1:6	Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
7	GEN 1:7	And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
9	GEN 1:9	Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
10	GEN 1:10	God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
11	GEN 1:11	Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
13	GEN 1:13	Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
14	GEN 1:14	Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
16	GEN 1:16	God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
17	GEN 1:17	God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
18	GEN 1:18	to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
20	GEN 1:20	Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
21	GEN 1:21	So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
22	GEN 1:22	God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
24	GEN 1:24	Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of ◄livestock/domestic animals►, creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
25	GEN 1:25	God made all kinds of wild animals and ◄livestock/domestic animals► and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
26	GEN 1:26	Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the ◄livestock/domestic animals►, and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
27	GEN 1:27	So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
28	GEN 1:28	God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
29	GEN 1:29	God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
31	GEN 1:31	God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
32	GEN 2:1	That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
33	GEN 2:2	By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
34	GEN 2:3	God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
35	GEN 2:4	That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
36	GEN 2:5	At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
38	GEN 2:7	Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
39	GEN 2:8	Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
40	GEN 2:9	Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good to do and what actions were evil to do.
44	GEN 2:13	The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
46	GEN 2:15	Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
49	GEN 2:18	Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
50	GEN 2:19	Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
52	GEN 2:21	So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body and healed it.
57	GEN 3:1	The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. One day Satan gave to the snake the ability to talk to the woman. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
58	GEN 3:2	The woman replied, “What God said was, ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
60	GEN 3:4	The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
61	GEN 3:5	only because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, you will understand new things. It will be as though your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good to do and what is evil to do, just as God does.”
64	GEN 3:8	Late that afternoon, when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, so that Yahweh God would not see them.
65	GEN 3:9	But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you trying to hide from me?”
67	GEN 3:11	God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit from the tree that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
69	GEN 3:13	Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
70	GEN 3:14	Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you and all other snakes will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt on it as long as you live.
77	GEN 3:21	Then Yahweh God killed some animals and made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
79	GEN 3:23	So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground so that he could grow food to eat.
105	GEN 4:25	Adam continued to ◄have sex/sleep► with [EUP] his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’, because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
107	GEN 5:1	Here is a list of the descendants of Adam. When God created humans, he caused them to be like him in many ways.
128	GEN 5:22	Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for 300 years after Methuselah was born, and he became the father of other sons and daughters.
129	GEN 5:23	Enoch lived 365 years altogether in close fellowship with God.
130	GEN 5:24	Then one day he disappeared, because God took him away to be with him in heaven.
140	GEN 6:2	some of the men who ◄belonged to/believed in► God saw that some of the women who did not ◄belong to/believe in► God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
142	GEN 6:4	There were giants called Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time some of the Nephil men who ◄belonged to/believed in► God had sex [EUP] with women who did not ◄belong to/believe in► God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
147	GEN 6:9	This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
149	GEN 6:11	At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
150	GEN 6:12	God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
151	GEN 6:13	So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
160	GEN 6:22	So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
168	GEN 7:8	Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
169	GEN 7:9	males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
176	GEN 7:16	There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
183	GEN 7:23	God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
185	GEN 8:1	But God ◄did not forget/thought► about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water to begin to recede.
186	GEN 8:2	God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
199	GEN 8:15	Then God said to Noah,
207	GEN 9:1	Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
214	GEN 9:8	God also said to Noah and his sons,
218	GEN 9:12	Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
223	GEN 9:17	Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
232	GEN 9:26	I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
237	GEN 10:2	The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
238	GEN 10:3	The sons of Gomer were Askenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
251	GEN 10:16	Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebus, Amor, Girgash,
254	GEN 10:19	Their land extended from Sidon city in the north as far south as Gaza town, and then to the east as far as Gerar town, and then farther east to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim towns, and even as far as Lasha town.
258	GEN 10:23	The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
300	GEN 12:1	Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will show you.
302	GEN 12:3	I will bless those who ◄bless/ask God to do good things for► you, and I will ◄curse/ask God to punish► those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed you).”
329	GEN 13:10	Lot looked around toward Zoar town, and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan River. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]
338	GEN 14:1	In a region to the east, there were four kings who were friends/allies. They were King Amraphel of Babylonia, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim.
339	GEN 14:2	In an area to the west, there were five other kings. They were King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, the city that is now called Zoar.
345	GEN 14:8	Then the armies of the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela marched out to fight the armies of the other four kings in Siddim Valley. That valley is close to the Salt/Dead Sea.
346	GEN 14:9	They fought against the armies of Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, Tidal the king of Goiim, Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar. The armies of four kings were fighting against the armies of five kings.
347	GEN 14:10	The Siddim Valley was full of tar pits. So when the armies of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to run away, many of the men fell into the tar pits. The others escaped and ran away to the hills.
348	GEN 14:11	As the armies of the five kings fled, the armies of the four kings seized all of the valuable things in Sodom and Gomorrah, including all the food.
355	GEN 14:18	The king of Salem city, whose name was Melchizedek, was also a priest who offered sacrifices to the Supreme God. He brought some bread and wine to Abram.
356	GEN 14:19	Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
357	GEN 14:20	The Supreme God has enabled you to defeat [MTY] your enemies, so we should praise/thank him.” Then Abram gave to Melchizedek a tenth part of all the things he had captured.
359	GEN 14:22	But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have solemnly promised [MTY] to Yahweh, the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth,
363	GEN 15:2	But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can you give me what I truly want, because I have no children, and the one who will be like a son and inherit all my possessions is my servant Eliezer from Damascus!”
369	GEN 15:8	But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can I know for sure that this land will belong to me?”
370	GEN 15:9	God said to him, “Bring a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old goat to me, and a dove and a pigeon.”
374	GEN 15:13	Then God said to Abram, “I want you to know that your descendants will become foreigners living in a land that does not belong to them. They will become slaves of the owners of that land. The owners of the land will mistreat them for 400 years.
382	GEN 15:21	the Amor, the Canaan, the Girgash, and the Tebus people-groups live.”
391	GEN 16:9	The angel said, “Go back to your mistress and be under her authority [MTY]”.
393	GEN 16:11	The angel also said to her, “Listen to this! You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, which means ‘God hears’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable.
399	GEN 17:1	When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said to him, “I am God Almighty. I want you to live in a way that I will regard you as someone that cannot be criticized.
