42 | GEN 2:11 | The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found. |
139 | GEN 6:1 | People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them, |
154 | GEN 6:16 | Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside. |
241 | GEN 10:6 | The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. |
249 | GEN 10:14 | the Pathrusites, the Casluhites, and the Caphtorites (ancestors of the Philistines). |
260 | GEN 10:25 | Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; the name of his brother was Joktan. |
283 | GEN 11:16 | When Eber was 34, he had Peleg. |
284 | GEN 11:17 | Eber lived another 430 years after Peleg was born and had other sons and daughters. |
285 | GEN 11:18 | When Peleg was 30, he had Reu. |
286 | GEN 11:19 | Peleg lived another 209 years after Reu was born and had other sons and daughters. |
314 | GEN 12:15 | Pharaoh's officials also noticed and spoke positively about her to Pharaoh. So Sarai was taken to his palace to become one of his wives. |
315 | GEN 12:16 | Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her, giving him sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. |
316 | GEN 12:17 | But the Lord caused Pharaoh and the people in his palace to suffer from terrible diseases because of Sarai, Abram's wife. |
317 | GEN 12:18 | So Pharaoh ordered Abram brought to him and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? |
319 | GEN 12:20 | Pharaoh ordered his guards to expel him and his wife from the country, along with everyone with them and all their possessions. |
326 | GEN 13:7 | Abram's and Lot's herdsmen were arguing, and in addition the Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. |
327 | GEN 13:8 | So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family. |
381 | GEN 15:20 | Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, |
384 | GEN 16:2 | so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested. |
430 | GEN 18:5 | Also let me bring some food so you can get your strength back before you go on your way, now that you've come to visit me here.” “That would be fine,” they answered. “Please do as you've suggested.” |
457 | GEN 18:32 | “Please don't get angry with me, my Lord,” Abraham said. “Just let me ask one more thing. What if only ten are found there?” “I won't destroy it for the sake of the ten,” the Lord replied. |
476 | GEN 19:18 | “Please sir, not that!” Lot replied. |
478 | GEN 19:20 | Look, there's a town nearby that's close enough to run to, and it's so small. Please let me run there—it's really very small. It would save my life.” |
535 | GEN 21:21 | He lived in the Desert of Paran. His mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt. |
536 | GEN 21:22 | Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said. |
546 | GEN 21:32 | After making the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army left and went home to the country of the Philistines. |
548 | GEN 21:34 | Abraham lived in the country of the Philistines for a long time. |
562 | GEN 22:14 | Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.” |
570 | GEN 22:22 | Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. |
576 | GEN 23:4 | “I am a foreigner, a stranger living among you,” he said. “Please let me buy a burial site so I can bury my dead wife.” |
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.” |
585 | GEN 23:13 | and said to Ephron so everyone could hear, “Please listen to me. I will pay the price for the field. Take the money and let me go and bury my dead there.” |
594 | GEN 24:2 | At that time Abraham told his oldest servant who was in charge of his whole household, “Put your hand under my thigh, |
606 | GEN 24:14 | May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness to my master.” |
609 | GEN 24:17 | The servant ran over to meet her and asked, “Please let me drink a few sips of water from your jar.” |
610 | GEN 24:18 | “Please drink, my lord,” she replied. She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and held it for him to drink. |
623 | GEN 24:31 | “Please come home with me, you who are blessed by the Lord,” said Laban. “What are you standing out here for? I've got a room at home ready for you, and a place for the camels to stay.” |
625 | GEN 24:33 | Then Laban had food brought in. But the man told him, “I'm not going to eat until I've explained why I'm here.” “Please explain,” Laban replied. |
635 | GEN 24:43 | Look, I'm standing here beside this spring. May it happen like this. If a young woman comes to get water, and I say, ‘Please give me a few sips of water to drink,’ |
636 | GEN 24:44 | and she says to me, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac.” |
637 | GEN 24:45 | “I hadn't even finished praying silently when I saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring to get water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ |
638 | GEN 24:46 | She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and she said, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too.’ So I drank, and she got water for the camels. |
641 | GEN 24:49 | So please tell me now, will you show commitment and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no so I can decide what to do next.” |
648 | GEN 24:56 | “Please don't delay me,” he told them. “The Lord has made my journey successful, so let me leave and go back to my master.” |
679 | GEN 25:20 | When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean. |
694 | GEN 26:1 | There was a famine in the country—not the one that happened before in Abraham's time, but a later one. So Isaac moved to Gerar in the territory of Abimelech, king of the Philistines. |
701 | GEN 26:8 | But later on, after he'd been there a while, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, happened to look out the window and saw Isaac lovingly fondling his wife Rebekah. |
707 | GEN 26:14 | He owned many flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, as well as many slaves. He had so much that the Philistines became jealous of him. |
708 | GEN 26:15 | So the Philistines used dirt to block up all the wells his father Abraham's servants had dug. |
711 | GEN 26:18 | He unblocked the wells that had been dug in his father Abraham's time—the ones the Philistines had blocked after the death of Abraham. He gave them the same names his father had. |
719 | GEN 26:26 | Sometime later Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac, along with Ahuzzath his advisor, and Phicol the commander of his army. |
720 | GEN 26:27 | “Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!” |
762 | GEN 27:34 | When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!” |
766 | GEN 27:38 | “Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly. |
776 | GEN 28:2 | “Leave right away and go to Paddan-aram, to the home of Bethuel, your mother's father. Find yourself a wife there—a daughter of Laban, your mother's brother. |
779 | GEN 28:5 | So Isaac sent Jacob on his way. He traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. |
780 | GEN 28:6 | Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife there, and that when he blessed him he ordered him, “Don't marry a Canaanite woman.” |
781 | GEN 28:7 | He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram. |
845 | GEN 30:14 | At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrake plants when he was out in the fields. He took them back to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son found.” |
858 | GEN 30:27 | “Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.” |
892 | GEN 31:18 | and drove all his livestock in front of him. He took with him all his possessions and livestock he'd gained during his time in Paddan-aram, and left to go back to his father in the country of Canaan. |
940 | GEN 32:12 | Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children. |
958 | GEN 32:30 | “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there. |
959 | GEN 32:31 | Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!” |
960 | GEN 32:32 | The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip. |
972 | GEN 33:11 | Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it. |
979 | GEN 33:18 | Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town. |
989 | GEN 34:8 | Hamor told them, “My son Shechem is very much in love with your daughter and your sister Dinah. Please allow him to marry her. |
992 | GEN 34:11 | Then Shechem himself spoke up, and said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Please accept me and my proposal, and I'll do whatever you ask. |
1011 | GEN 34:30 | But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.” |
1014 | GEN 35:2 | So Jacob told his family and everyone who was with him, “Get rid of the pagan idols you have with you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes. |
1021 | GEN 35:9 | God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram. |
1038 | GEN 35:26 | The sons of Leah's personal maid Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him while in Paddan-aram. |
1080 | GEN 36:39 | When Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, died, Hadad took over as king. The name of his town was Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-zahab. |
1082 | GEN 36:41 | Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, |
1116 | GEN 37:32 | Then they sent the colorful robe to their father with the message, “We found this. Please examine it and see if it's your son's robe or not.” |
1117 | GEN 37:33 | His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!” |
1120 | GEN 37:36 | In the meantime the Ishmaelites had arrived in Egypt and had sold Joseph to Potiphar. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh's officers, the captain of the guard. |
1145 | GEN 38:25 | As she was brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “I'm pregnant by the man who owns these things.” Then she added, “Please look carefully at this signet seal and its cord and walking stick. Who do they belong to?” |
1149 | GEN 38:29 | But then he pulled back his hand and his brother was born, she said, “How did you burst out?” So he was named Perez. |
1151 | GEN 39:1 | Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard. |
1154 | GEN 39:4 | Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned. |
1155 | GEN 39:5 | From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields. |
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, |
1169 | GEN 39:19 | When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry. |
1175 | GEN 40:2 | Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker— |
1180 | GEN 40:7 | So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?” |
1184 | GEN 40:11 | I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.” |
1186 | GEN 40:13 | In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to. |
1187 | GEN 40:14 | But when things go well for you, please remember me with kindness and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and please get me out of this prison. |
1190 | GEN 40:17 | In the top basket were all the cakes and pastries for Pharaoh to eat, and the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.” |
1192 | GEN 40:19 | In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.” |
1193 | GEN 40:20 | Three days later it happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, and he arranged a banquet for all his officials. He had the chief cupbearer and the chief baker released from prison and brought there before his officials. |
1194 | GEN 40:21 | He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup. |
1197 | GEN 41:1 | A full two years later, Pharaoh had a dream that he was standing beside the River Nile. |
1200 | GEN 41:4 | Then the ugly, skinny cows ate the well-fed, healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up. |
