22 | GEN 1:22 | God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” |
28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the earth.” |
172 | GEN 7:12 | Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights. |
207 | GEN 9:1 | God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth! |
213 | GEN 9:7 | Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!” |
238 | GEN 10:3 | The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
242 | GEN 10:7 | The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
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. |
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. |
287 | GEN 11:20 | When Reu was 32, he had Serug. |
288 | GEN 11:21 | Reu lived another 207 years after Serug was born and had other sons and daughters. |
342 | GEN 14:5 | In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim, |
379 | GEN 15:18 | This is how the Lord made an agreement with Abram that day and promised him, “I'm giving this land to your descendants. It extends from the Wadi of Egypt to the great Euphrates River, |
381 | GEN 15:20 | Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, |
475 | GEN 19:17 | As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!” |
571 | GEN 22:23 | (Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor. |
572 | GEN 22:24 | In addition, Reumah his concubine had Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah. |
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. |
621 | GEN 24:29 | Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he ran out to meet the man who had remained at the spring. |
622 | GEN 24:30 | He'd noticed the nose-ring and the bracelets she was wearing, and he'd heard his sister Rebekah explaining, “This is what the man told me.” When he arrived the man was still there, standing with his camels beside the spring. |
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.’ |
643 | GEN 24:51 | Rebekah's here, you can take her and leave. She can become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has decided.” |
645 | GEN 24:53 | Then he unpacked silver and gold jewelry and expensive clothes and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable presents to her brother and her mother. |
649 | GEN 24:57 | “Let's call Rebekah and find out what she wants to do,” they suggested. |
650 | GEN 24:58 | They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied. |
651 | GEN 24:59 | So they let Laban's sister Rebekah leave with Abraham's servant and his men, together with the woman who had nursed her as a child. |
653 | GEN 24:61 | Then Rebekah and her servant girls got on the camels. They followed Abraham's servant and left. |
656 | GEN 24:64 | Rebekah was also keeping a look out. When she saw Isaac, she got down from her camel. |
659 | GEN 24:67 | Isaac took Rebekah into his mother Sarah's tent, and he married her. He loved her, and she brought him comfort after his grief over his mother's death. |
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. |
687 | GEN 25:28 | Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob. |
700 | GEN 26:7 | When the men there asked him about his wife, he told them, “She's my sister,” because he was afraid. He said to himself, “If I say she's my wife, the men here will kill me to get Rebekah, because she's so beautiful.” |
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. |
728 | GEN 26:35 | They caused Isaac and Rebekah a great deal of grief. |
733 | GEN 27:5 | Rebekah heard what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau left to go hunting in the countryside for wild game, |
734 | GEN 27:6 | Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother, |
739 | GEN 27:11 | “But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man. |
743 | GEN 27:15 | Then Rebekah went and got her older son Esau's best clothes that she had at home and put them on Jacob her younger son. |
770 | GEN 27:42 | However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. “Look,” she told him, “your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you. |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!” |
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. |
802 | GEN 29:6 | “How is he?” he asked. “He's well,” they replied. “Look! In fact here's his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep right now.” |
805 | GEN 29:9 | While he was still talking with them Rachel arrived with the flock she was looking after for her father. |
806 | GEN 29:10 | When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, he went over and rolled away the stone from the well so Laban's sheep could drink. |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept for joy. |
808 | GEN 29:12 | (He had told her that he was the son of Laban's brother and Rebekah.) She ran and told her father what had happened. |
812 | GEN 29:16 | Laban had two daughters. The older one was Leah, and the younger one was Rachel. |
813 | GEN 29:17 | Leah had kind eyes, but Rachel had a shapely figure and beautiful looks. |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob was in love with Rachel so he promised Laban, “I'll do seven years work for you for Rachel, your younger daughter.” |
821 | GEN 29:25 | When morning came, he saw it was Leah! He went to Laban and asked angrily, “What have you done to me? It was for Rachel that I worked for you! Why have you deceived me?” |
824 | GEN 29:28 | Jacob agreed. He finished the week of wedding celebrations for Leah, and then Laban gave Jacob his daughter Rachel as his wife as well. |
825 | GEN 29:29 | (Laban also arranged for his servant Bilhah to be Rachel's personal maid.) |
826 | GEN 29:30 | So Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban another seven years for Rachel. |
827 | GEN 29:31 | The Lord saw that Leah wasn't loved he helped Leah to have children, but not Rachel. |
828 | GEN 29:32 | Leah became pregnant, and had a son she named Reuben, for she said, “The Lord saw how much I was suffering and now my husband will love me!” |
832 | GEN 30:1 | When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!” |
833 | GEN 30:2 | Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?” |
834 | GEN 30:3 | “Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.” |
837 | GEN 30:6 | Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan. |
838 | GEN 30:7 | Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob. |
839 | GEN 30:8 | Rachel said, “I've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” So she named him Naphtali. |
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.” |
846 | GEN 30:15 | “Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded. |
853 | GEN 30:22 | Then God paid attention to Rachel and listened to her appeals, and helped her to have children. |
856 | GEN 30:25 | Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own country. |
878 | GEN 31:4 | Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah, telling them to come and meet him out in the fields where he was with his flock. |
888 | GEN 31:14 | “There's nothing for us to inherit from our father's estate anyway,” Rachel and Leah replied. |
893 | GEN 31:19 | While Laban was away from home shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father. |
895 | GEN 31:21 | So Jacob left in a hurry with everything he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed towards the hill country of Gilead. |
906 | GEN 31:32 | As for your idols, anyone you find who has them will die. You can search everything in the presence of our relatives, and if you find I have anything that belongs to you, you can take it.” (Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen the household idols.) |
907 | GEN 31:33 | Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two personal maids, but didn't find anything. He left Leah's tent and went into Rachel's tent. |
908 | GEN 31:34 | Rachel had put the household idols in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on it. Laban carefully searched the whole tent but couldn't find them. |
938 | GEN 32:10 | Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’ |
951 | GEN 32:23 | He got up during the night and took his two wives and the two personal maids and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River at the ford. |
962 | GEN 33:1 | Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids. |
963 | GEN 33:2 | He placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last. |
968 | GEN 33:7 | Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over and bowed down. |
1020 | GEN 35:8 | Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the oak of weeping.” |
1023 | GEN 35:11 | Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants. |
1028 | GEN 35:16 | Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and had great difficulty giving birth. |
1031 | GEN 35:19 | Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem). |
1032 | GEN 35:20 | Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day. |
1034 | GEN 35:22 | During the time he was living there, Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel found out about it. These were the twelve sons of Jacob: |
1035 | GEN 35:23 | The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. |
1036 | GEN 35:24 | The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. |
1037 | GEN 35:25 | The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. |
1045 | GEN 36:4 | Adah had a son for Esau named Eliphaz. Basemath had Reul. |
1051 | GEN 36:10 | These were the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, son of Esau's wife Basemath. |
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. |
1078 | GEN 36:37 | When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates took over as king. |
1105 | GEN 37:21 | When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them. |
1106 | GEN 37:22 | “Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home to his father. |
1113 | GEN 37:29 | When Reuben came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief. |
1197 | GEN 41:1 | A full two years later, Pharaoh had a dream that he was standing beside the River Nile. |
1275 | GEN 42:22 | Reuben said to them, “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't harm the boy!’ But you didn't listen to me. Now we're paying the price for what we did to him.” |
1290 | GEN 42:37 | “You can kill my two sons if I don't bring him back to you,” Reuben assured him. “Trust me with him, and I will bring him home to you myself.” |
