42 | GEN 2:11 | One of the rivers is called Pishon, the one that flows through the land called Havilah. |
171 | GEN 7:11 | Noah was 600 years old. One month had already passed and now it was full moon, and a great amount of water burst out of the springs under the ground. And the heavens opened and the rain poured down from above. |
183 | GEN 7:23 | Yahweh destroyed everything. Only Noah and his family, his wife and his sons and their wives, and the animals that went into the boat, they alone stayed alive. |
227 | GEN 9:21 | He made some wine from the grapes and he and his family drank it. One day Noah drank some of the wine he had made and became drunk. He took off his clothes and slept naked in his tent. |
260 | GEN 10:25 | Eber had two sons. One of them was called Peleg, and while he was alive all the people spread out and separated. So they called him Peleg, because Peleg means “they were separated.” And his brother was Joktan. |
263 | GEN 10:28 | Obal, Abimael, Sheba, |
264 | GEN 10:29 | Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. They were all Joktan's sons. |
325 | GEN 13:6 | Other people who owned that country were still living there. They were the Canaanite people and the Perizzite people. Abram and his family stayed there. But after a while there was not enough grass and land for both Abram and Lot, because there were so many sheep and cattle and other animals. So Abram's men who looked after the sheep and cattle and Lot's men argued over water and grass for the animals. |
350 | GEN 14:13 | One man escaped from Chedorlaomer and the other kings, and he went to Abram, the Hebrew, because Abram was Lot's uncle. Abram was living near the special trees that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite. Mamre and his two brothers, Eshcol and Aner, were Abram's friends. So the man who had escaped found Abram and told him that his nephew Lot had been taken away. |
363 | GEN 15:2 | Abram answered, “Lord Yahweh, why will you give good things to me? I have no children. Only one man is like my son, my servant Eliezer of Damascus. |
395 | GEN 16:13 | “Oh!” thought Hagar. “That wasn't an angel. I have seen Yahweh himself. I have seen him with my own eyes and I am still alive!” So she called Yahweh “The God Who Sees Me.” |
396 | GEN 16:14 | Because she said that, today people call that waterhole, “The Owner of the Waterhole Is Alive and He Sees Me.” The waterhole is between Kadesh and Bered. |
421 | GEN 17:23 | On that same day Abraham obeyed God and circumcised his son Ishmael and all the other men and boys living in his house. He circumcised his servants, those he had bought, and those who were born in his house, and all the children of the servants. |
435 | GEN 18:10 | One of the men was Yahweh and he said to Abraham, “In nine months I will come back here, and your wife will have a son.” Sarah was behind him. She was inside the tent, behind the door, listening to the men talking with Abraham. |
489 | GEN 19:31 | The older daughter said to her sister, “Our father is getting old. And there are no men here for us to marry so that we can have children. |
523 | GEN 21:9 | One day Sarah's son Isaac was playing with Ishmael. Ishmael's mother was Hagar, the Egyptian woman who worked for Sarah. While they were playing together Sarah saw Ishmael teasing Isaac. |
536 | GEN 21:22 | One day Abimelech, king of Gerar, went to Abraham with Phicol, the officer in charge of his army. Abimelech said to Abraham, “God is with you all the time. |
562 | GEN 22:14 | Abraham named the mountain “Yahweh Gives Good Things.” And even today the people of that place still say, “On Yahweh's mountain God gives his people good things.” |
572 | GEN 22:24 | One of Nahor's servants was also his wife, and her name was Reumah. Nahor's and Reumah's sons were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maacah. |
654 | GEN 24:62 | They went on and on until they reached Canaan. Then they kept on going south. Isaac was living there in the south of Canaan, in the desert at the waterhole called “The Owner of the Waterhole is Alive and He Sees Me.” |
670 | GEN 25:11 | After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. He lived near the waterhole called “The Owner of the Waterhole is Alive and He Sees Me.” |
681 | GEN 25:22 | She knew that she was going to have twins. Before they were born they struggled together inside her. Rebecca said, “Oh dear, what has happened to me?” So she prayed to Yahweh about the children. |
682 | GEN 25:23 | Yahweh said to her, “There are two people inside you. They will be the ancestors of two nations. Their people will be against each other and live separately. One brother will be stronger than the other, and the older brother will work for the younger one.” |
688 | GEN 25:29 | One day Jacob was cooking some bean soup and Esau came back from hunting. He was hungry |
689 | GEN 25:30 | and he said to his younger brother Jacob, “I am very hungry. Give me some of that red soup.” That is why Esau had two names. One was Esau and the other was Edom, because Edom means “red.” |
695 | GEN 26:2 | Yahweh came and appeared to Isaac and said to him, “Don't go to Egypt. Obey me and stay here. |
711 | GEN 26:18 | Once again Isaac and his men dug the waterholes that his father's servants had dug before. Abraham had named the wells, but after he died the Philistines had filled his wells with earth. Now Isaac gave the wells the same names again. |
714 | GEN 26:21 | Then Isaac's servants dug another well. But the men of Gerar and Isaac's men argued about that one too, and Isaac named the well “They Hated Each Other.” |
719 | GEN 26:26 | While Isaac was at Beersheba, King Abimelech came to him from Gerar. He brought two men with him. One was Phicol, the leader of his army, and the other was his servant Ahuzzath, who used to tell Abimelech what to do. |
727 | GEN 26:34 | When Isaac's son Esau was forty years old, he took two girls to be his wives. They were both Hittites. One of them, the daughter of Beeri, was called Judith and the other, the daughter of Elon, was called Basemath. |
764 | GEN 27:36 | Esau said, “I am your firstborn son, but he tricked me before, and so now he is like your firstborn son. And now he has done it again. You should have given me that special blessing, but he got it. Oh dear, it is his now! Twice he has tricked me. Truly he is called Jacob. Please, isn't there a blessing for me too?” The name Jacob means “he tricks people.” |
962 | GEN 33:1 | On that same day Jacob saw Esau coming to him and the 400 men with him. Then Jacob told Bilhah and Zilpah, to get their children together and stand in front. Then he told Leah to get her children together and stand in the middle. And he told Rachel and her son, Joseph, to stand behind the others. |
982 | GEN 34:1 | One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the Canaanite women. |
1043 | GEN 36:2 | Esau married Canaanite women. One wife was Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. Another wife was Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. |
1046 | GEN 36:5 | Oholibamah and Esau had three sons called Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These sons of Esau's were born in Canaan. |
1051 | GEN 36:10 | His five sons were called Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Reuel the son of Basemath, and Jeush, Jalam and Korah, the three sons of Oholibamah. Oholibamah's father was Anah and her grandfather was Zibeon. The six sons of Eliphaz were called Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz and Amalek. Amalek's mother was a woman called Timna. The four sons of Reuel were called Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. |
1056 | GEN 36:15 | Esau was the ancestor of many people. His first son Eliphaz was the father of the leaders called Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, |
1059 | GEN 36:18 | Esau's sons Jeush, Jalam and Korah were also leaders and their mother was Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. |
1064 | GEN 36:23 | Shobal's five sons were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam. |
1066 | GEN 36:25 | Anah's son was called Dishon, and his daughter was called Oholibamah. |
1082 | GEN 36:41 | Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, |
1089 | GEN 37:5 | One night Joseph had a dream. So he told his brothers about it but they hated him even more. |
1124 | GEN 38:4 | Later she became pregnant again and had another son and named him Onan. |
1128 | GEN 38:8 | Then Judah spoke to Er's younger brother Onan. He said, “Now that your brother has died, go to his widow and sleep with her so that you can have children for him. Then you can bring them up for him.” |
1129 | GEN 38:9 | But Onan said to himself, “If I have children with this widow they won't be mine. They will belong to my dead brother.” So when he went and slept with her he didn't want to have his brother's children, and he let his semen spill on the ground and he didn't make Tamar pregnant. |
1130 | GEN 38:10 | But Yahweh didn't like what he had done and so he killed Onan too in the same way he had killed his older brother Er. |
1174 | GEN 40:1 | Some time later the king of Egypt became angry with two of his servants. One of them looked after his wine, and the other cooked all kinds of food in the king's palace. |
1178 | GEN 40:5 | One night there in jail the two men each had a dream. They both had a dream on the same night but their dreams were different. |
1181 | GEN 40:8 | They answered, “Each of us had a dream, but there is no one here to explain the dreams to us.” Joseph said, “Only God can show people about dreams. Tell them to me.” |
1205 | GEN 41:9 | Then the king's servant who looked after his drink said to him, “Oh dear! I have forgotten something. |
1286 | GEN 42:33 | “The man said, ‘I will find out the truth about you and decide if you are honest men. One of you will stay here with me. The rest of you will take food to your families so that they don't starve. |
1319 | GEN 43:28 | And they said, “Our father is still alive and well.” And again they bowed down in front of him, because he was the governor. |
1342 | GEN 44:17 | Joseph said, “Not at all! That's no good. Only the one who took my cup will be my servant. You others can go back to your father.” |
1352 | GEN 44:27 | Our father said to us, ‘You know that my wife Rachel had only two sons. |
1353 | GEN 44:28 | One is no longer with us. A wild animal must have killed him because he went away and didn't come back. |
1397 | GEN 46:10 | Simeon and his six sons also went. Their names were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar and Shaul. Shaul's mother was a Canaanite woman. |
1399 | GEN 46:12 | Judah and his three sons also went. Their names were Shelah, Perez and Zerah. Two of Judah's sons, Er and Onan, had already died in Canaan. The two sons of Perez, Hezron and Hamul, also went to Egypt. |
1421 | GEN 46:34 | tell him that, and say, ‘Our ancestors always looked after sheep and cattle and we do the same. We looked after them while we were children and we are still looking after them today.’ When he hears that, he won't refuse, he will let you stay in this whole area of Goshen where you are now.” Joseph said this because he knew that the Egyptian people don't like that kind of work or the shepherds who do that work. |
1436 | GEN 47:15 | This went on for some time until all the money in Egypt and Canaan was spent. Then the Egyptians came to Joseph and asked for food. “Please give us food,” they said. “Don't let us starve to death. Our money is all gone, so you must help us.” |
1439 | GEN 47:18 | The next year the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Our money is all gone, and all our animals are yours now. We can't hide this and we are telling the truth. We have nothing left to give you. There are only our bodies and our land. |
1458 | GEN 48:6 | If you have any more sons, they won't belong to me. Only Ephraim and Manasseh are mine. So when I die those two will get some of my things, but any children you have afterwards won't get anything. They will only get something if Ephraim and Manasseh give it to them later. |
1476 | GEN 49:2 | The old man had two names. One was Jacob, but God had given him another important name, Israel. He said to his sons, “Come together and listen to me. Listen to your father Israel.” Then he spoke his last words to them one by one, before he died. |
22628 | JON 3:1 | Once again Yahweh spoke to Jonah. |
22647 | JON 4:10 | Yahweh said to Jonah, “One night that plant grew and the next night it died. You didn't make it grow and yet you felt sorry for it, didn't you! |
24970 | LUK 1:8 | One day Zechariah was working in the temple. All the priests worked there but they took turns. First some of them worked and then others, and now the men from Abijah's family took their turn to work there. They had different kinds of work to do. Every day one of them burnt something like gum so that sweet-smelling smoke would rise from it as it burnt. He did this because long ago God had told the priests to do it for him. When they chose the man for that job, first of all they wrote all their names down on paper in any order. Then they took turns according to the list. And now it was Zechariah's turn and he burnt the gum in the building that only the priests went into and no one else. |
25025 | LUK 1:63 | Zechariah made signs to ask for writing things. They gave them to him and he wrote, “His name is John.” “Oh!” they all said. |
25044 | LUK 2:2 | So the rulers who were under him counted them all. One of them was called Quirinius and he governed in Syria. |
25126 | LUK 3:32 | And David's father was Jesse. And Jesse's father was Obed. And Obed's father was Boaz. And Boaz' father was Sala. And Sala's father was Nahshon. |
25163 | LUK 4:31 | Then Jesus went to a town called Capernaum, in Galilee. On the Sabbath day he went to the synagogue and taught the people God's word. |
25177 | LUK 5:1 | One day Jesus was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. It is a big freshwater lake with two names, Gennesaret and Galilee. The people came there to Jesus to hear God's word, and there were so many people that they were pushing each other. |
25188 | LUK 5:12 | One day Jesus was in a town where there was a man who was covered with bad sores. He was very sick. When he saw Jesus he threw himself down on the ground because he really wanted Jesus to heal him. He said to Jesus, “Please! Please! Good Lord, if you want to, you know you can make my skin clean!” |
25193 | LUK 5:17 | One day Jesus was with a man in his house. While he was there some people came to him, and Jesus taught them about God. Some Jews called Pharisees came to him too and some teachers of Moses' law. They came from different places in Judea and Galilee. Others came from Jerusalem. They sat in the house where Jesus was. And the Spirit of the Lord God was with Jesus making him strong, and he healed sick people there in the house. |
25199 | LUK 5:23 | Maybe you can say to this man, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ Of course you can't say that! Or maybe you can say to him, ‘Get up and move your feet.’ No! You can't say either of those things to this man by yourself. |
25210 | LUK 5:34 | Jesus answered, “Listen to this. When a man gets married, lots of people gather together with him and his wife to have a party. You won't say to them, ‘Don't eat this food, you should go hungry.’ Of course you won't, because those people want to have a party while their friend is still with them. |
25216 | LUK 6:1 | The seventh day of the week was called the Sabbath. Every Sabbath the Jewish people stopped work and went to the synagogue and praised God. One Sabbath day Jesus and his disciples were walking along through some wheatfields. The wheat was ripe and Jesus' disciples picked some seeds as they went and rubbed them in their hands. They threw away the rubbish and ate the good seeds as they walked. |
25217 | LUK 6:2 | Some Pharisees saw them picking seeds and eating them. They asked, “What are you doing? Our law says, ‘You must not work on the Sabbath.’ But you are working here on the Sabbath. So you have disobeyed the law, haven't you? What you are doing is very wrong.” |
25219 | LUK 6:4 | David went into the house of God, and he took some damper and ate it. He gave some to his men and they ate too. It was holy but they ate it. Only the priests were allowed to eat it, but David ate that holy food.” |
25221 | LUK 6:6 | On another Sabbath day Jesus went into a synagogue and taught people God's word. A man with a crippled hand was sitting there. He couldn't move his right hand. It was weak all the time. |
25231 | LUK 6:16 | Jesus also chose two men called Judas. One was the son of James and the other Judas was called Iscariot, the one who would later bring some leaders to Jesus so they could take him. |
25251 | LUK 6:36 | Our Father has pity on us. So you should have pity on everyone.” We shouldn't judge other people. |
25260 | LUK 6:45 | “It is true that a good tree only has good fruit, and a bad tree only has bad fruit. A good person who does good all the time will be like the good tree, because he always thinks about good things and doesn't think about bad things. But a bad person always does bad things, because he always thinks about bad things. Our words that come out of our mouths when we speak are first of all in our minds and our hearts.” |
25289 | LUK 7:25 | Maybe you were looking for a man who always wears beautiful clothes and always eats good food and sleeps on a soft bed. Was that the sort of person you were looking for? Of course not. That kind of person doesn't live in the desert. He lives in a good house, in a king's palace. |
25300 | LUK 7:36 | One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to go and eat with him. He was called Simon. Jesus went to his house and he went inside and sat down and ate with him. |
25305 | LUK 7:41 | There was a rich man who used to lend money to poor people, and later on they had to pay it back. One day he lent a man a lot of money, 500 silver coins, and he lent another man 50. Then the time came for the men to give the money back to him. |
25316 | LUK 8:2 | Some time before this, Jesus had made evil spirits come out of some women and he had healed others. One day he made seven evil spirits come out of one woman called Mary. They called her Mary Magdalene because she came from Magdala. And those women also went with Jesus. |
25319 | LUK 8:5 | Once a man decided to grow some seeds for food. He put the little seeds in a bag and went off. As he went along he threw them on the ground, scattering them freely around everywhere for the plants to grow. As he went along scattering them, some of the seeds fell on the path. In a little while when people came along they trod on them, and the birds came and picked them up and ate them. |
25336 | LUK 8:22 | One day Jesus and his disciples went to a big freshwater lake and they got into a boat. “Let's go across the lake to the other side,” said Jesus. And they put up the sail and started out. |
25364 | LUK 8:50 | But Jesus heard him and said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid. Only believe that she will get better.” |
25388 | LUK 9:18 | One day Jesus was by himself praying to God, and his disciples came to him. Jesus said to them, “When people are talking together, who do they say that I am?” |
25389 | LUK 9:19 | They said, “Some people say, ‘He is John the Baptist’. Others say, ‘He is Elijah’. But others say, ‘A prophet of long ago has come alive again.’” |
25392 | LUK 9:22 | I, the one who was born in this place, must suffer very much. Our elders and the chief priests will reject me. The teachers of Moses' law will also reject me. They will kill me, but I will come alive again after three days.” |
25446 | LUK 10:14 | Then Jesus said, “On the last day God will surely blame those people of Tyre and Sidon because they were wicked. But he will blame you people of Chorazin and Bethsaida much more because you have refused God's word today. |
25475 | LUK 11:1 | One day Jesus was praying to God. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray to God too. Teach us just as John taught his disciples.” |
25485 | LUK 11:11 | “But listen to this, you fathers of little children,” Jesus said. “If your son says to you, ‘Father, please give me a fish,’ will you give him a snake that he can't eat? Of course not! |
25486 | LUK 11:12 | And if your son says to you, ‘Father, please give me an egg,’ will you give him a scorpion? Of course you won't! |
25505 | LUK 11:31 | Then Jesus said to them, “On the last day God will judge people to see if they are good or bad. At that time the Queen of Sheba will stand up and blame you people living here today. Long ago she travelled from a country far away to hear King Solomon. Solomon spoke powerful words because he was a wise man and she listened to him. So she will accuse you all, because an even greater person is here with you today, but you won't listen to him. |
