100 | GEN 4:20 | Adah gave birth to a son she named Jabal. |
101 | GEN 4:21 | Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a ◄lyre/stringed instrument► and a flute. |
121 | GEN 5:15 | When Mahalalel was 65 years old, he became the father of Jared. |
122 | GEN 5:16 | After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived 830 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters. |
124 | GEN 5:18 | When Jared was 162 years old, he became the father of Enoch. |
125 | GEN 5:19 | Jared lived 800 years after Enoch was born, and he became the father of other sons and daughters. |
126 | GEN 5:20 | Jared lived 962 years altogether, and then he died. |
138 | GEN 5:32 | When Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of a son whom he named Shem. Later he became the father of another son whom he named Ham, and later he became the father of another son whom he named Japheth. |
148 | GEN 6:10 | Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
173 | GEN 7:13 | On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives. |
197 | GEN 8:13 | Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month of the Jewish year, the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying. |
209 | GEN 9:3 | Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves. |
224 | GEN 9:18 | The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan. |
229 | GEN 9:23 | Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked. |
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]. |
233 | GEN 9:27 | And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.” |
236 | GEN 10:1 | ◄This is/I will now give► a list of the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had many children after the flood. |
237 | GEN 10:2 | The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. |
239 | GEN 10:4 | The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
240 | GEN 10:5 | Those sons and their families who were descended from Javan lived on the islands and on the land close to the Mediterranean Sea. Their descendants became tribes, each with its own language and clans and territory. |
251 | GEN 10:16 | Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebus, Amor, Girgash, |
256 | GEN 10:21 | Shem, the older brother of Japheth, became the father of Eber, and the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber. |
260 | GEN 10:25 | Eber became the father of two sons. One of them was named Peleg, which means ‘division’, because during the time he lived, people on [MTY] the earth became divided and scattered everywhere. Peleg’s younger brother was Joktan. |
261 | GEN 10:26 | Joktan became the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
264 | GEN 10:29 | Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All those people were descended from Joktan. |
310 | GEN 12:11 | Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman. |
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.] |
330 | GEN 13:11 | So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan River. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east. |
331 | GEN 13:12 | Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan River, and he set up his tents near Sodom city. |
358 | GEN 14:21 | The king of Sodom said to Abram, “You can keep all the goods you recovered. Just let me take back the people from my city whom you rescued.” |
457 | GEN 18:32 | Abraham said, “God, don’t be angry now. Just let me speak one time more. What will you do if you find that there are only ten righteous people there?” Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy the city for the sake of those ten.” |
570 | GEN 22:22 | After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel, |
661 | GEN 25:2 | She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. |
662 | GEN 25:3 | Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group. |
674 | GEN 25:15 | Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |
685 | GEN 25:26 | Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born. |
686 | GEN 25:27 | When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite. |
687 | GEN 25:28 | Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more. |
688 | GEN 25:29 | One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry. |
689 | GEN 25:30 | He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red’.] |
690 | GEN 25:31 | Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me ◄your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son►.” |
692 | GEN 25:33 | Jacob said, “◄Swear to/Solemnly promise► me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob. |
693 | GEN 25:34 | Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he ◄was not interested in/did not value► the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son. |
727 | GEN 26:34 | When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon. Both of those women were descendants of Heth, not from Isaac’s clan. |
734 | GEN 27:6 | Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying, |
739 | GEN 27:11 | But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth! |
742 | GEN 27:14 | So Jacob went and killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then with the meat his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked. |
743 | GEN 27:15 | Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, and she put them on her younger son Jacob. |
746 | GEN 27:18 | Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?” |
747 | GEN 27:19 | Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then bless me.” |
748 | GEN 27:20 | But Isaac asked his son, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.” |
749 | GEN 27:21 | Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.” |
750 | GEN 27:22 | So Jacob went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, Esau.” |
751 | GEN 27:23 | Isaac did not recognize Jacob, because he was blind and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob. |
752 | GEN 27:24 | But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.” |
753 | GEN 27:25 | Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it. |
755 | GEN 27:27 | So Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed. |
758 | GEN 27:30 | After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting. |
764 | GEN 27:36 | Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left for me?” |
769 | GEN 27:41 | So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill Jacob!” |
770 | GEN 27:42 | But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is comforting himself by planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father. |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These foreign women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!” |
775 | GEN 28:1 | Then Isaac summoned Jacob, and gave him a blessing. He told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group. |
779 | GEN 28:5 | So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-Aram, to live with Rebekah’s brother Laban, the son of Bethuel, who belonged to the Aram people-group. |
780 | GEN 28:6 | Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and then sent him to Paddan-Aram. He also found out that when he blessed Isaac, he told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group,” |
781 | GEN 28:7 | and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother, and had gone to Paddan-Aram. |
784 | GEN 28:10 | Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and started walking along the road to Haran. |
786 | GEN 28:12 | While he was sleeping, he had a dream, in which he was surprised to see a stairway. The bottom of the stairway was on the earth and the top was in the sky. Jacob also saw that God’s angels were going up and down the stairway. |
790 | GEN 28:16 | During the night, when Jacob woke up from sleeping, he thought, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and until now I was not aware of it!” |
792 | GEN 28:18 | In the morning Jacob got up and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up on its end to show that the place was a holy place. He poured some olive oil on top of the stone to dedicate it to God. |
794 | GEN 28:20 | Jacob solemnly promised God, saying, “God, if you will help me and protect me while I am taking this journey, and if you give me enough food to eat and clothes to wear, |
797 | GEN 29:1 | Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan. |
800 | GEN 29:4 | On that day, Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.” |
802 | GEN 29:6 | Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!” |
803 | GEN 29:7 | Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to ◄graze/eat grass► in the pastures!” |
806 | GEN 29:10 | When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, Jacob was so excited that he went over and by himself rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep. |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel on the cheek, and he cried loudly because he was so happy. |
808 | GEN 29:12 | Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father. |
809 | GEN 29:13 | As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him on the cheek. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him. |
810 | GEN 29:14 | Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month, |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob ◄was in love with/wanted very much to be married to► Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.” |
816 | GEN 29:20 | So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much. |
817 | GEN 29:21 | After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]” |
819 | GEN 29:23 | But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her. |
821 | GEN 29:25 | The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban and told him very angrily, “◄What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?► [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?” |
824 | GEN 29:28 | So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife. |
826 | GEN 29:30 | Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years. |
827 | GEN 29:31 | When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah very much, he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant. |
831 | GEN 29:35 | Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “◄This time/Now► I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’. After that, she did not give birth to any more children for several years. |
832 | GEN 30:1 | Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I think I will die!” |
833 | GEN 30:2 | Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “◄I am not God!/Am I God?► [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!” |
835 | GEN 30:4 | So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her. |
836 | GEN 30:5 | She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son. |
838 | GEN 30:7 | Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob. |
840 | GEN 30:9 | When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him. |
841 | GEN 30:10 | Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob. |
