78 | GEN 3:22 | Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him. |
96 | GEN 4:16 | So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah. |
135 | GEN 5:29 | He named him Noah, with the explanation, “He will provide relief for us from all the hard manual labor we need to do in cultivating the ground the Lord has cursed.” |
136 | GEN 5:30 | After Noah was born, Lamech lived another 595 years and had other sons and daughters. |
138 | GEN 5:32 | Noah was 500 before he had Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
146 | GEN 6:8 | But the Lord was pleased with Noah. |
147 | GEN 6:9 | This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God. |
148 | GEN 6:10 | Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
151 | GEN 6:13 | So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth. |
160 | GEN 6:22 | Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do. |
161 | GEN 7:1 | The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation. |
165 | GEN 7:5 | Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do. |
166 | GEN 7:6 | Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth. |
167 | GEN 7:7 | Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood. |
169 | GEN 7:9 | went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah. |
171 | GEN 7:11 | Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. |
173 | GEN 7:13 | That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark. |
175 | GEN 7:15 | They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes. |
176 | GEN 7:16 | A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him. |
183 | GEN 7:23 | The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark. |
185 | GEN 8:1 | But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop. |
190 | GEN 8:6 | Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark, |
193 | GEN 8:9 | But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him. |
195 | GEN 8:11 | When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth. |
197 | GEN 8:13 | By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out. |
199 | GEN 8:15 | Then God told Noah, |
202 | GEN 8:18 | So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark. |
204 | GEN 8:20 | Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering. |
207 | GEN 9:1 | God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth! |
214 | GEN 9:8 | Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him, |
223 | GEN 9:17 | Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.” |
224 | GEN 9:18 | Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.) |
225 | GEN 9:19 | All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah. |
226 | GEN 9:20 | Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. |
230 | GEN 9:24 | When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done, |
232 | GEN 9:26 | Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave. |
234 | GEN 9:28 | Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood. |
235 | GEN 9:29 | Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died. |
236 | GEN 10:1 | The following are the genealogies of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had sons born to them after the flood. |
243 | GEN 10:8 | Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who set himself up as the first tyrant on earth. |
244 | GEN 10:9 | He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.” |
246 | GEN 10:11 | From there he moved into Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, |
247 | GEN 10:12 | and Resen, which lies between Nineveh and the great city of Calah. |
248 | GEN 10:13 | Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, |
267 | GEN 10:32 | These were all the tribes descended from Noah's sons, according to their genealogies and national groups. From these ancestors the different nations of the earth spread around the world after the flood. |
271 | GEN 11:4 | Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.” |
289 | GEN 11:22 | When Serug was 30, he had Nahor. |
290 | GEN 11:23 | Serug lived another 200 years after Nahor was born and had other sons and daughters. |
291 | GEN 11:24 | When Nahor was 29, he had Terah. |
292 | GEN 11:25 | Nahor lived another 119 years after Terah was born and had other sons and daughters. |
293 | GEN 11:26 | When Terah was 70, he had Abram, Nahor, and Haran. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | The following is the genealogy of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Abram and Nahor both got married. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah. (She was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah). |
308 | GEN 12:9 | After that he went on his way, heading towards the Negev. |
320 | GEN 13:1 | So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions. |
322 | GEN 13:3 | He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai. |
413 | GEN 17:15 | Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah. |
417 | GEN 17:19 | “No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement. |
418 | GEN 17:20 | Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. |
437 | GEN 18:12 | Sarah was laughing inside, saying to herself, “Now that I'm old and worn out, how would I experience pleasure? My husband is old too!” |
450 | GEN 18:25 | No, you can't do something like that! You can't kill the good with the wicked, otherwise you would be treating the good and the wicked in the same way. You can't do that! Isn't the Judge of all the earth going to do the right thing?” |
460 | GEN 19:2 | “Sirs, please come and stay with me for the night,” he said. “You can wash your feet and then be on your way early in the morning.” They replied, “No, it's fine. We'll spend the night here in the square.” |
497 | GEN 20:1 | Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live in Gerar. |
507 | GEN 20:11 | “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied. |
512 | GEN 20:16 | Abimelech also told Sarah, “Notice that I'm giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. This is to compensate you for the wrong done to you in the eyes of everyone with you, and to make sure that your name is publicly cleared.” |
568 | GEN 22:20 | Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.” |
571 | GEN 22:23 | (Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor. |
578 | GEN 23:6 | “Listen, my lord, you are a highly-respected prince among us. Choose the very best of our burial sites to bury your dead. None of us will say no to you.” |
583 | GEN 23:11 | “No, my lord,” he said. “Please listen to me. I give you the field and the cave that is there. I give it to you and my people are my witnesses. Please go and bury your dead.” |
598 | GEN 24:6 | “No, you mustn't take my son back there,” Abraham replied. |
602 | GEN 24:10 | Then the servant arranged for ten of his master's camels to carry all kinds of valuable gifts from Abraham and left for the town of Nahor in Aram-naharaim. |
607 | GEN 24:15 | He hadn't even finished praying when he saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milkah. Milkah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. |
616 | GEN 24:24 | She replied, “I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.” Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and food for the camels, |
639 | GEN 24:47 | I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.’ So I put the ring in her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists. |
654 | GEN 24:62 | Meanwhile Isaac, who was living in the Negev, had just come back from Beer-lahai-roi. |
672 | GEN 25:13 | These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, |
674 | GEN 25:15 | Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |
715 | GEN 26:22 | So they moved on from there and he had another well dug. This time there was no argument so he named the well, “Freedom,” saying, “Now the Lord has given us freedom to expand and be successful in this land.” |
721 | GEN 26:28 | “Now we realize that the Lord is with you,” they replied. “So we agreed that we should make a sworn agreement with you. |
722 | GEN 26:29 | You'll promise not to harm us in the same way we've never hurt you. You'll agree that we've always treated you well, and when we asked you to leave we did so kindly. Now look at how the Lord is blessing you!” |
736 | GEN 27:8 | Now then, my son, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you. |
783 | GEN 28:9 | So he went to Ishmael's family and married an additional wife—Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth. |
801 | GEN 29:5 | “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied. |
810 | GEN 29:14 | Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month. |
817 | GEN 29:21 | Then Jacob said to Laban, “I've completed the time we agreed. Now give me your daughter to be my wife.” |
831 | GEN 29:35 | Once again Leah became pregnant and had another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I can really praise the Lord!” After that she had no more children. |
839 | GEN 30:8 | Rachel said, “I've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” So she named him Naphtali. |
851 | GEN 30:20 | Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me because I've given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun. |
887 | GEN 31:13 | I am the God of Bethel, where you poured olive oil on the stone pillar and made a solemn promise to me. Now get ready to leave this land and go back to your homeland.’” |
927 | GEN 31:53 | May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor—the God of our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God of his father Isaac. |
971 | GEN 33:10 | “No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly! |
1037 | GEN 35:25 | The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. |
1044 | GEN 36:3 | In addition he married Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. |
1054 | GEN 36:13 | These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. They were the descendants of Esau's wife Basemath. |
1058 | GEN 36:17 | These were the sons of Esau's son Reuel: tribal leaders Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. They were the tribal leaders descended from Reuel in the country of Edom, and they were the descendants of Esau's wife Basemath. |
1119 | GEN 37:35 | All his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he rejected their attempts. “No,” he said, “I will go down into my grave mourning for my son.” So Joseph's father went on weeping for him. |
1156 | GEN 39:6 | So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique, |
