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. |
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. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man. |
55 | GEN 2:24 | The first woman was taken from the man’s body, so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Adam ◄had sex/slept► with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’, because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel. |
90 | GEN 4:10 | Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now it is as though your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged. |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that I will punish him severely if he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead. |
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. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Lamech’s other wife Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a ◄blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron►. Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah. |
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. |
231 | GEN 9:25 | He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles. |
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. |
243 | GEN 10:8 | Another one of Cush’s descendants was Nimrod. Nimrod was the first person on earth who became a mighty warrior. |
248 | GEN 10:13 | Ham’s son, Egypt, became the ancestor of the Lud, Anam, Lehab and Naphtuh, |
250 | GEN 10:15 | Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, became the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth, his younger son. |
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. |
267 | GEN 10:32 | All those groups descended from the sons of Noah. Each group had its own ◄genealogy/record of people’s ancestors► and each became a separate ethnic group. Those ethnic groups formed after the flood and spread all around the earth. |
270 | GEN 11:3 | Then they said to each other, “◄Hey/Come on►, let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of ◄mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime► to hold them together. |
271 | GEN 11:4 | They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!” |
294 | GEN 11:27 | ◄This is/I will now give► a list of the descendants of Terah: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran’s son was named Lot. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Abram and Nahor both married. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah. Milcah and her younger sister Iscah were the daughters of Haran. |
298 | GEN 11:31 | Terah decided to leave Ur and go to live in Canaan land. So he took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Abram’s wife Sarai with him. But instead of going to Canaan, they stopped at Haran town and lived there. |
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. |
314 | GEN 12:15 | When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace. |
316 | GEN 12:17 | But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases. |
326 | GEN 13:7 | Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals. |
349 | GEN 14:12 | They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time. |
353 | GEN 14:16 | Abram’s men recovered all of the goods that had been taken. They also rescued Lot and all his possessions and also the women and others who had been captured by their enemies. |
354 | GEN 14:17 | As Abram was returning home after he and his men had defeated the armies of King Chedorlaomer and the other kings who had fought alongside him, the king of Sodom went north to meet him in Shaveh Valley, which people call the King’s Valley. |
383 | GEN 16:1 | Up to that time, Abram’s wife Sarai had not given birth to any children for Abram. But she had a female slave from Egypt, whose name was Hagar. |
385 | GEN 16:3 | So Abram ◄slept with/had sex with► Hagar, his wife Sarai’s slave from Egypt. This happened ten years after they went to live in Canaan land. Sarai gave Hagar to her husband to be his secondary wife. |
398 | GEN 16:16 | Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son Ishmael. |
443 | GEN 18:18 | Abraham’s descendants [MTY] will become a great and powerful nation. And people of [MTY] all nations will be blessed because of what I do for him. |
455 | GEN 18:30 | Abraham said, “God, please don’t be angry now. Let me speak again. What will you do if there are only 30 righteous people?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find that there are 30 there.” |
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.” |
465 | GEN 19:7 | He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing! |
466 | GEN 19:8 | Listen to me. I have two daughters who have never had sex with any man. Let me bring them out to you now, and you can do with them whatever pleases you. But don’t do anything to these men, because they are guests in my house, so I must protect them!” |
467 | GEN 19:9 | But they replied, “Get out of our way! You are a foreigner; so you have no right to tell us what is right! If you don’t get out of our way, we will do worse things to you than we will do to them!” Then they lunged towards Lot, and tried forcefully to break down the door. |
474 | GEN 19:16 | When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and his wife’s hand and the hands of his two daughters. They led them outside the city safely. The angels did that because Yahweh was acting mercifully toward them. |
475 | GEN 19:17 | When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “If you want to remain alive, run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!” |
476 | GEN 19:18 | But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that! |
484 | GEN 19:26 | But Lot’s wife stopped and looked back to see what was happening, so she died, and her body later became a pillar of salt. |
490 | GEN 19:32 | Let’s make our father drink wine until he gets drunk. Then we can have sex with him [EUP] without him knowing it. In that way he will cause us to become pregnant and we can bear children.” |
492 | GEN 19:34 | The next day, his older daughter said to ◄his younger daughter/her sister►, “Listen to me. Last night I slept with our father. Let’s cause him to become drunk again tonight! This time you can go and sleep with him. If he has sex with you, you can become pregnant, and that way you can have a child, too.” |
499 | GEN 20:3 | But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.” |
503 | GEN 20:7 | Now, return this man’s wife to her husband, because he is ◄a prophet/a man who receives messages from me►. He will pray for you, and you will ◄remain alive/not die►. But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.” |
507 | GEN 20:11 | Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’ |
509 | GEN 20:13 | Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This is my brother.”’” |
513 | GEN 20:17 | Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant. |
514 | GEN 20:18 | This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah. |
523 | GEN 21:9 | ◄One day/During the feast► Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was ◄making fun of/playing with► Isaac. |
539 | GEN 21:25 | Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized. |
555 | GEN 22:7 | Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and coals to light a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” |
562 | GEN 22:14 | Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.” |
568 | GEN 22:20 | After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.” |
571 | GEN 22:23 | who was the father of Rebekah, who later became Isaac’s wife. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor. |
576 | GEN 23:4 | “I am a foreigner [DOU] living among you, so I do not own any land here. Sell me some land here so that I can bury my wife’s body.” |
578 | GEN 23:6 | “Sir, you are a powerful prince among us. Choose one of our finest tombs and bury your wife’s body in it. None of us will refuse to sell land to you for a tomb for your relatives’ bodies.” |
580 | GEN 23:8 | He said to them, “If you say that you are willing for me to bury my wife’s body here, listen to me, and ask Ephron, the son of Zohar for me, |
585 | GEN 23:13 | and said to Ephron, as all the others were listening, “No, listen to me. If you are willing, I will pay for the field. You tell me what the price is, and I will give it to you. If you accept it, the field will become mine, and I can bury my wife’s body there.” |
587 | GEN 23:15 | “Sir, listen to me. The land is worth 400 pieces of silver. But the price is not important to you and me. Give me the money and bury your wife’s body there.” |
589 | GEN 23:17 | So Ephron’s field in the Machpelah area, near Mamre, and the cave in the field, and all the trees that were in the field inside the boundaries of the land, became Abraham’s possession. |
590 | GEN 23:18 | It became Abraham’s property as all the descendants of Heth were listening there at the city gate. |
591 | GEN 23:19 | After that, Abraham buried his wife Sarah’s body in the cave in the field in the Machpelah area near Mamre, which is now called Hebron city, in the Canaan region. |
598 | GEN 24:6 | Abraham replied to him, “No! Be certain that you don’t take my son there! |
599 | GEN 24:7 | Yahweh God, who created the heavens, brought me here. He brought me from my father’s household, and from the land where my relatives lived. He spoke to me and made a solemn promise to me, saying, ‘I will give this land of Canaan to your descendants.’ He will send an angel who will go there ahead of you, and enable you to get a wife for my son there and bring her to live here. |
601 | GEN 24:9 | So the servant put his hand between Abraham’s thighs and made a solemn promise about the matter. |
602 | GEN 24:10 | Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and loaded them with all kinds of goods that his master gave him to take along. Then he left to go to Aram-Naharaim, which is in ◄northern Mesopotamia/Syria►. He arrived in Nahor city. |
607 | GEN 24:15 | Before he finished praying, amazingly, Rebekah arrived there, carrying a jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s younger brother Nahor. |
609 | GEN 24:17 | Abraham’s servant immediately ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” |
615 | GEN 24:23 | Then he said, “Tell me whose daughter you are. Also, tell me, is there room in your father’s house for me and my men to sleep there tonight?” |
616 | GEN 24:24 | She replied, “My father’s name is Bethuel. He is the son of Nahor and his wife Milcah. |
619 | GEN 24:27 | He said, “I thank you, Yahweh God, whom my master Abraham worships. You have continued to be kind and faithful to my master. You led me on this journey straight/directly to the house of my master’s relatives!” |
620 | GEN 24:28 | The girl ran and told everyone in her mother’s household about what had happened. |
621 | GEN 24:29 | Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban went quickly to Abraham’s servant, who was still by the well. |
622 | GEN 24:30 | He was surprised to have seen the bracelets on his sister’s arms and the nose ring and to have heard Rebekah tell what the man had said to her. So he went out and saw the man standing near the camels, close to the well. |
624 | GEN 24:32 | So the servant went to the house, and Laban’s servants unloaded the camels, and brought straw and grain for the camels, and water for him and the men with him to wash their feet. |
626 | GEN 24:34 | So the servant said, “I am Abraham’s servant. |
628 | GEN 24:36 | My master’s wife, Sarah, bore a son for him when she was very old, and my master has given to his son everything he owns. |
630 | GEN 24:38 | Instead, go back to my father’s family, to my own clan, and get from them a wife for my son.’ |
632 | GEN 24:40 | He replied, ‘Yahweh, whom I have always obeyed [MTY], will send his angel with you, and he will cause your journey to be successful, with the result that you can get a wife for my son from my clan, from my father’s family. |
636 | GEN 24:44 | If she says to me, “Certainly, drink some! And I will also draw some water for your camels,” that will be the woman whom you have chosen for my master’s son!’ |
640 | GEN 24:48 | Then I bowed and worshiped Yahweh, and I thanked Yahweh God, the one my master Abraham worships, the one who led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother to be a wife for my master’s son. |
643 | GEN 24:51 | Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as Yahweh has indicated.” |
644 | GEN 24:52 | When Abraham’s servant heard these words, he bowed down to the ground to thank Yahweh. |
646 | GEN 24:54 | Then they ate a meal together. The men who were with Abraham’s servant also slept there that night. The next morning, the servant said, “Allow me now to return to my master.” |
651 | GEN 24:59 | So they allowed Rebekah, a woman who had taken care of her when she was very young, Abraham’s servant, and the men who had come with him. to go. |
653 | GEN 24:61 | Then Rebekah and her maid servants got ready and got on their camels and went with Abraham’s servant. |
659 | GEN 24:67 | Then Isaac took Rebekah into the tent that belonged to his mother, Sarah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted about his mother’s death. |
671 | GEN 25:12 | ◄These are/I will now give a list of► the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth. |
672 | GEN 25:13 | These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, |
678 | GEN 25:19 | ◄This is an account of/I will now tell you about► Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac, |
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. |
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’.] |
711 | GEN 26:18 | There were several wells in that area that had been dug when Isaac’s father Abraham was living, but Philistine people had filled them up with dirt after Abraham died. Now Isaac and his servants removed the dirt, and Isaac gave the wells the same names that his father had given to them. |
712 | GEN 26:19 | Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water. |
713 | GEN 26:20 | But other men who lived in Gerar Valley who took care of their animals argued/quarreled with the men who took care of Isaac’s animals, and said, “The water in this well is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek, which means ‘dispute’, because they disputed about who owned it. |
714 | GEN 26:21 | Then Isaac’s servants dug another well, but they quarreled about who owned that one also. So Isaac named it Sitnah, which means ‘opposition’. |
725 | GEN 26:32 | That day Isaac’s servants came to him and told him about the well that they had finished digging. They said, “We found water in the well!” |
