1 | GEN 1:1 | Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth. |
29 | GEN 1:29 | God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | Late that afternoon, when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, so that Yahweh God would not see them. |
78 | GEN 3:22 | Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good to do and what is evil to do. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat some of the fruit from the tree which enables people who eat it to live forever!” |
88 | GEN 4:8 | But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” So they went together. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Later, even though Yahweh knew what Cain had done, he said to Cain, “Do you know where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. ◄My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?►” [RHQ] |
98 | GEN 4:18 | Enoch grew up and married and became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad grew up he became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael grew up and became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah grew up and became the father of Lamech. |
99 | GEN 4:19 | When Lamech grew up he married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah. |
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. |
103 | GEN 4:23 | One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him. |
131 | GEN 5:25 | When Methuselah was 187 years old, he became the father of Lamech. |
132 | GEN 5:26 | Methuselah lived 782 years after Lamech was born, and became the father of other sons and daughters. |
134 | GEN 5:28 | When Lamech was 182 years old, he became the father of a son, |
136 | GEN 5:30 | Lamech lived 595 years after Noah was born and became the father of other sons and daughters. |
137 | GEN 5:31 | Lamech lived 777 years altogether, and then he died. |
138 | GEN 5:32 | When Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of a son whom he named Shem. Later he became the father of another son whom he named Ham, and later he became the father of another son whom he named Japheth. |
154 | GEN 6:16 | Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about ◄18 in./.5 meter► between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side. |
155 | GEN 6:17 | Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die. |
200 | GEN 8:16 | “Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives. |
215 | GEN 9:9 | “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants, |
248 | GEN 10:13 | Ham’s son, Egypt, became the ancestor of the Lud, Anam, Lehab and Naphtuh, |
253 | GEN 10:18 | Arved, Zemar and Hamath people-groups. Later the descendants of Canaan dispersed over a large area. |
254 | GEN 10:19 | Their land extended from Sidon city in the north as far south as Gaza town, and then to the east as far as Gerar town, and then farther east to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim towns, and even as far as Lasha town. |
257 | GEN 10:22 | The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. |
273 | GEN 11:6 | Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then ◄there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do► [LIT]! |
293 | GEN 11:26 | When Terah was 70 years old, his son Abram was born. Later, two other sons, Nahor and Haran were born. |
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. |
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. |
303 | GEN 12:4 | So Abram left Haran town, as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was 75 years old when he left there along with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew, Lot. |
310 | GEN 12:11 | Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman. |
320 | GEN 13:1 | So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev Desert. |
324 | GEN 13:5 | Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents. |
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. |
327 | GEN 13:8 | So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals. |
329 | GEN 13:10 | Lot looked around toward Zoar town, and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan River. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.] |
330 | GEN 13:11 | So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan River. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east. |
331 | GEN 13:12 | Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan River, and he set up his tents near Sodom city. |
333 | GEN 13:14 | After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west. |
349 | GEN 14:12 | They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time. |
351 | GEN 14:14 | One of the men who escaped from the battle told Abram what had happened and that his nephew Lot had been captured and taken away. So Abram summoned 318 men who were his servants, men who had been with Abram since they were born. They all went together and pursued their enemies as far north as Dan city. |
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. |
366 | GEN 15:5 | Then Yahweh took Abram outside of his tent and said, “Look up at the sky! Can you count the stars? No, you cannot count them because there are so many of them, and your descendants will be as numerous as the stars.” |
384 | GEN 16:2 | So one day Sarai said to Abram, “Listen to me! Yahweh has not allowed me to become pregnant. So ◄sleep with/have sex with► [EUP] my slave Hagar. Perhaps she will bear children whom I can consider to be mine.” Abram agreed to do what Sarai said. |
393 | GEN 16:11 | The angel also said to her, “Listen to this! You are pregnant. You will give birth to a son. You must name him Ishmael, which means ‘God hears’, because Yahweh has heard you crying because you feel so miserable. |
396 | GEN 16:14 | That is why people call the well there ‘Beer-Lahai-Roi’, which means, ‘The well of the living one who sees us’! It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. |
402 | GEN 17:4 | “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants. |
428 | GEN 18:3 | and said to one of them, “Sir, if you are pleased with me, stay here for a little while [LIT]. |
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.” |
459 | GEN 19:1 | That evening, the two angels arrived in Sodom. Lot was sitting at the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to greet them, and prostrated himself with his face on the ground. |
461 | GEN 19:3 | But Lot kept insisting strongly that they sleep in his house. So they entered his house with him, and he prepared a meal for them. He baked some bread without yeast, and they ate it. |
463 | GEN 19:5 | They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to your house this evening? Bring them out, so that we can have sex with them!” [EUP] |
464 | GEN 19:6 | Lot went outside the house and shut the door behind him, so that they could not go inside. |
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. |
468 | GEN 19:10 | But the two angels opened the door carefully, reached out their hands, and pulled Lot to them inside the house. Then they quickly shut the door. |
470 | GEN 19:12 | Then the two angels said to Lot, “Who else is with you here? If you have sons or sons-in-law or daughters or anyone else in the city who is related to you, take them out of the city, |
472 | GEN 19:14 | So Lot went and spoke to the men who had pledged to marry his daughters. He said to them, “Hurry! Get out of this city, because Yahweh is about to destroy it!” But his future sons-in-law thought he was joking. |
473 | GEN 19:15 | As it was about to dawn the next morning, the two angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up quickly! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here with you and leave! If you don’t, you will die when we destroy/Yahweh destroys the city!” |
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. |
476 | GEN 19:18 | But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that! |
478 | GEN 19:20 | But listen to me. There is a town nearby. Let me run to that small town. Let me go there now. It is a small town, but our lives will be saved if we go there.” |
479 | GEN 19:21 | One of the angels said to Lot, “I will allow you to do what you have requested [MTY]. I will not destroy the little town you are speaking about. |
480 | GEN 19:22 | But hurry! Run there, because I cannot destroy anything until you arrive there.” People later called the name of the town Zoar which means ‘small’, because Lot said it was small. |
481 | GEN 19:23 | As the sun was rising, Lot and his family arrived in the town which is now called Zoar. |
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. |
487 | GEN 19:29 | So, when God destroyed those cities in the valley, he remembered what he had promised Abraham, and he rescued Lot from the disaster that occurred in the cities where Lot had lived. |
488 | GEN 19:30 | Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar, so he left there and moved with his two daughters to the mountain, and they lived in a cave. |
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.” |
494 | GEN 19:36 | So Lot caused his two daughters to become pregnant. |
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.” |
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.”’” |
511 | GEN 20:15 | And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!” |
512 | GEN 20:16 | And he said to Sarah, “Look here, I am giving 1,000 pieces of silver to your brother. This is to insure that no one will bring up this matter again and say that I have done something wrong. [EUP, IDM]” |
526 | GEN 21:12 | But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you. |
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?” |
564 | GEN 22:16 | He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son that is with you. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness, |
605 | GEN 24:13 | Listen to me. I am standing near a well of water, and the young women of the city are coming to get water. |
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. |
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. |
625 | GEN 24:33 | They set food in front of him for him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I tell you ◄what I need to tell you/why I have come►.” So Laban said, “Tell us!” |
635 | GEN 24:43 | Listen to me. I am standing beside a well. A young woman may come to draw water. I will say to her, “Please, give me a little water to drink from your jar.” |
642 | GEN 24:50 | Laban and Bethuel answered, “It is clear that Yahweh has caused this to happen. So we two cannot say anything more. |
645 | GEN 24:53 | Then the servant brought out silver and gold jewelry and clothes, and gave them to Rebekah. And he gave gifts to her brother Laban and to her mother. |
647 | GEN 24:55 | But her brother and her mother replied, “Let the girl remain with us for about ten days. After that, you may take her and go.” |
648 | GEN 24:56 | But he replied to them, “Yahweh has made my journey successful, so do not detain me. Let me take her back to my master now!” |
649 | GEN 24:57 | They said, “Let’s call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.” [MTY] |
654 | GEN 24:62 | At that time, Isaac was living in the Negev desert. He had gone there from Beer-Lahai-Roi. |
662 | GEN 25:3 | Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group. |
670 | GEN 25:11 | After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi. |
