14 | GEN 1:14 | Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin. |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit from the tree that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ] |
86 | GEN 4:6 | Yahweh said to Cain, “◄You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?► [RHQ] ◄You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?► [RHQ] |
87 | GEN 4:7 | If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, your desire to sin is ready to attack you like a wild animal that [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, ready to spring on its victim [MET]. Your desire to sin wants to control you, but you must ◄control/not obey► it.” |
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] |
90 | GEN 4:10 | Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now it is as though your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged. |
141 | GEN 6:3 | Then Yahweh said, “I will not allow my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).” |
150 | GEN 6:12 | God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way. |
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. |
172 | GEN 7:12 | Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights. |
206 | GEN 8:22 | As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.” |
238 | GEN 10:3 | The sons of Gomer were Askenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
242 | GEN 10:7 | The descendants of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. |
244 | GEN 10:9 | Yahweh saw that he had become (OR, caused him to become) a great hunter. That is why people say to a great hunter, “Yahweh ◄sees that you are/has caused you to be► a great hunter like Nimrod.” |
246 | GEN 10:11 | From there he went with others to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, |
247 | GEN 10:12 | and Resen. Resen was a large city between Nineveh and Calah. |
285 | GEN 11:18 | When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu. |
286 | GEN 11:19 | After Reu was born, Peleg lived 209 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters. |
287 | GEN 11:20 | When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug. |
288 | GEN 11:21 | After Serug was born, Reu lived 207 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters. |
302 | GEN 12:3 | I will bless those who ◄bless/ask God to do good things for► you, and I will ◄curse/ask God to punish► those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed you).” |
328 | GEN 13:9 | There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.” |
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. |
342 | GEN 14:5 | The next year, King Chedorlaomer and the other kings that were his allies took their armies and defeated the Repha people-group in Ashteroth-Karnaim and the Zuz people-group in Ham, and the Emi people-group in Shaveh-Kiriathaim. |
379 | GEN 15:18 | And on that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram. Yahweh told him, “I will give to your descendants all the land between the river that is on the eastern border of Egypt to the south, and north to the huge Euphrates River. |
381 | GEN 15:20 | the Heth, the Periz, the Repha, |
395 | GEN 16:13 | Then Hagar realized that the angel was really Yahweh, so she said to herself, “◄It is difficult to believe that I have really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me!/Have I really seen the back of Yahweh, the one who sees me?►” [RHQ] So she called him ‘Yahweh, the one who sees me’. |
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. |
437 | GEN 18:12 | So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “My body is worn out, and my husband is old. So how can I have the pleasure of having a child?” [RHQ] |
439 | GEN 18:14 | I am Yahweh! ◄Is there anything too difficult for me?/There is nothing too difficult for me!► [RHQ] I will return about this time next year in the springtime, and Sarah will have an infant son.” |
442 | GEN 18:17 | Yahweh thought to himself, “It is not right for me to prevent Abraham from knowing what I plan to do [RHQ]. |
450 | GEN 18:25 | It would certainly not be right for you to do such a thing, to kill righteous people along with wicked ones, and treat righteous people and wicked people the same way. You could not do that, because you, who are the judge of everyone on the earth, will certainly do what is right regarding the people of Sodom!” [RHQ] |
477 | GEN 19:19 | Please, listen. You have been pleased with me and have been very kind to me and spared my life. But I cannot flee to the mountain. If I try to do that, I will die in this disaster [PRS]. |
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. |
505 | GEN 20:9 | Abimelech then summoned Abraham, and said to him, “You should not have done that to us [RHQ]! Did I do something wrong to you, with the result that you are causing me and the people in [MTY] my kingdom to be guilty of committing a great sin [RHQ]? You have done things to me that ◄should not be done/you should not have done►!” |
524 | GEN 21:10 | So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!” |
571 | GEN 22:23 | who was the father of Rebekah, who later became Isaac’s wife. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor. |
607 | GEN 24:15 | Before he finished praying, amazingly, Rebekah arrived there, carrying a jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s younger brother Nahor. |
614 | GEN 24:22 | Finally, after the camels finished drinking, the servant took out a gold nose ring that weighed ◄two ounces/6 grams►, and two large gold bracelets for her arms, and gave them to Rebekah and told her to put them on. |
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. |
622 | GEN 24:30 | He was surprised to have seen the bracelets on his sister’s arms and the nose ring and to have heard Rebekah tell what the man had said to her. So he went out and saw the man standing near the camels, close to the well. |
623 | GEN 24:31 | He said to the man, “You who have been blessed by Yahweh, come with me! ◄Why are standing out here?/You should not keep standing out here!► [RHQ] I have prepared a room for you in the house, and a place for the camels to stay.” |
637 | GEN 24:45 | Before I finished praying, amazingly, Rebekah approached with her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the well and got some water. I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink!’ |
643 | GEN 24:51 | Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as Yahweh has indicated.” |
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. |
649 | GEN 24:57 | They said, “Let’s call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.” [MTY] |
650 | GEN 24:58 | So they summoned Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man now?” She replied, “Yes, I will go.” |
651 | GEN 24:59 | So they allowed Rebekah, a woman who had taken care of her when she was very young, Abraham’s servant, and the men who had come with him. to go. |
652 | GEN 24:60 | Before they all left, they asked God to bless Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, we ask that Yahweh will cause you to have millions of descendants, and allow them to completely defeat [MET] all those that hate them.” |
653 | GEN 24:61 | Then Rebekah and her maid servants got ready and got on their camels and went with Abraham’s servant. |
654 | GEN 24:62 | At that time, Isaac was living in the Negev desert. He had gone there from Beer-Lahai-Roi. |
656 | GEN 24:64 | Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got off the camel, |
659 | GEN 24:67 | Then Isaac took Rebekah into the tent that belonged to his mother, Sarah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted about his mother’s death. |
670 | GEN 25:11 | After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi. |
677 | GEN 25:18 | His descendants ◄settled/went to live► in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other). |
679 | GEN 25:20 | and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group. |
680 | GEN 25:21 | Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant. |
683 | GEN 25:24 | When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born! |
687 | GEN 25:28 | Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more. |
691 | GEN 25:32 | Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die from being so hungry. If I die now, ◄my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?►” [RHQ] |
700 | GEN 26:7 | When the men in Gerar town asked who Rebekah was, Isaac said, “She is my sister.” He said that because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Rebekah is very beautiful, so they will want her. If I say that she is my sister, they know they will have to negotiate about a bride price because I am her older brother; but if I say that she is my wife, no negotiation will be possible. They will just kill me to get her.” |
701 | GEN 26:8 | When Isaac had been there a long time, one day Abimelech, the king of the Philistine people-group, looked down from a window in his palace and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah. |
703 | GEN 26:10 | Abimelech said, “◄You should not have done this to us!/Why did you do this?► [RHQ] One of our people might have ◄had sex with/slept with► [EUP] your wife, and you would have caused us to be guilty of a great sin!” |
715 | GEN 26:22 | They moved on from there and dug another well, but this time no one quarreled about who owned it. So Isaac named it Rehoboth, which means ‘uninhabited place’, saying, “Yahweh has given us an uninhabited place to live in, a place that is not wanted by other people, and we will become very prosperous here.” |
728 | GEN 26:35 | Esau’s two wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah. |
733 | GEN 27:5 | Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it and bring it back, |
734 | GEN 27:6 | Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying, |
739 | GEN 27:11 | But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth! |
743 | GEN 27:15 | Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, and she put them on her younger son Jacob. |
764 | GEN 27:36 | Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left for me?” |
765 | GEN 27:37 | Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, ◄what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!►” [RHQ] |
770 | GEN 27:42 | But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is comforting himself by planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father. |
773 | GEN 27:45 | When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, others will kill him, and then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ] |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These foreign women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!” |
779 | GEN 28:5 | So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-Aram, to live with Rebekah’s brother Laban, the son of Bethuel, who belonged to the Aram people-group. |
802 | GEN 29:6 | Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!” |
805 | GEN 29:9 | While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep. |
806 | GEN 29:10 | When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, Jacob was so excited that he went over and by himself rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep. |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel on the cheek, and he cried loudly because he was so happy. |
808 | GEN 29:12 | Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father. |
811 | GEN 29:15 | Laban said to him “◄You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?► [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.” |
812 | GEN 29:16 | Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel. |
813 | GEN 29:17 | Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful. |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob ◄was in love with/wanted very much to be married to► Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.” |
816 | GEN 29:20 | So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much. |
817 | GEN 29:21 | After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]” |
819 | GEN 29:23 | But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her. |
821 | GEN 29:25 | The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban and told him very angrily, “◄What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?► [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?” |
823 | GEN 29:27 | After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.” |
824 | GEN 29:28 | So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife. |
825 | GEN 29:29 | Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant. |
826 | GEN 29:30 | Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years. |
827 | GEN 29:31 | When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah very much, he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant. |
828 | GEN 29:32 | Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.” |
