55 | GEN 2:24 | The first woman was taken from the man’s body, so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person. |
61 | GEN 3:5 | only because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, you will understand new things. It will be as though your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good to do and what is evil to do, just as God does.” |
74 | GEN 3:18 | Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow and prevent what you have planted from growing. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields. |
85 | GEN 4:5 | but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected. |
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. |
109 | GEN 5:3 | When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of a son who grew up to be just like him. That was the son he named Seth. |
169 | GEN 7:9 | males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do. |
176 | GEN 7:16 | There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door. |
195 | GEN 8:11 | This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, surprisingly, in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground. |
276 | GEN 11:9 | The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke different languages that the others could not understand, not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth. |
421 | GEN 17:23 | On that same day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the males that were in his household, including the sons of all the slaves he had bought, and circumcised them. He cut off their foreskins, just as God told him to do. |
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] |
460 | GEN 19:2 | He said to them, “Gentlemen, please stay in my house tonight. You can wash your feet, and tomorrow you can continue your journey.” But they said, “No, we will just sleep in the city square.” |
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. |
515 | GEN 21:1 | Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do. |
518 | GEN 21:4 | Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do. |
560 | GEN 22:12 | The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son who is still with you.” |
583 | GEN 23:11 | So, just to make the customary reply to start the real discussion about a price, Ephron said, “No, sir, listen to me. I will give to you the field and the cave in it, without charge, with the people here as witnesses.” |
606 | GEN 24:14 | I am asking you this: ‘I will say to some girl, “Please lower your jar so that I may drink some water.” If she says, “Drink some, and I will draw some water from the well for your camels, too,” I will know that she is the woman whom you chose to be a wife for your servant, Isaac, and I will know that you have been kind to my master.’” |
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. |
608 | GEN 24:16 | She was very beautiful and still a virgin. She went down to the edge of the well, filled her jar with water, and then came back up. |
609 | GEN 24:17 | Abraham’s servant immediately ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” |
610 | GEN 24:18 | She replied, “Drink some, sir!” She lowered her jar from her shoulder to her hands and gave him a drink. |
612 | GEN 24:20 | She quickly emptied the water in her jar into the trough for giving water to animals, and then ran back to the well, and kept getting water for all the camels. |
613 | GEN 24:21 | The servant just watched her, without saying anything. He wanted to know if Yahweh had caused his trip to be successful or not. |
619 | GEN 24:27 | He said, “I thank you, Yahweh God, whom my master Abraham worships. You have continued to be kind and faithful to my master. You led me on this journey straight/directly to the house of my master’s relatives!” |
632 | GEN 24:40 | He replied, ‘Yahweh, whom I have always obeyed [MTY], will send his angel with you, and he will cause your journey to be successful, with the result that you can get a wife for my son from my clan, from my father’s family. |
634 | GEN 24:42 | “hen I came today to the well, I prayed, ‘Yahweh God whom my master, Abraham worships, if you are willing, please allow this journey of mine to be successful. |
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.” |
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!’ |
638 | GEN 24:46 | She quickly lowered her jar and said, ‘Drink some! And I will draw water from the well for your camels, too.’ So I drank some water, and she also got water for the camels. |
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. |
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!” |
667 | GEN 25:8 | He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU]. |
676 | GEN 25:17 | Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died. |
681 | GEN 25:22 | She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it that this is happening to me?” So she asked Yahweh about it. |
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. |
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.” |
742 | GEN 27:14 | So Jacob went and killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then with the meat his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked. |
758 | GEN 27:30 | After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting. |
761 | GEN 27:33 | Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot ◄take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him►.” |
794 | GEN 28:20 | Jacob solemnly promised God, saying, “God, if you will help me and protect me while I am taking this journey, and if you give me enough food to eat and clothes to wear, |
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.” |
832 | GEN 30:1 | Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I think I will die!” |
837 | GEN 30:6 | Rachel said, “God has ◄vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right►. He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’. |
901 | GEN 31:27 | Why did you run away and deceive me? Why did you not tell me that you were going to leave, so that we could have rejoiced and sung while people played music on tambourines and harps before I said ‘goodbye’ to you? |
961 | GEN 32:33 | The muscle on his hip joint had been injured. So to this present time, because of what happened to Jacob, the Israeli people do not eat the muscle/tendon that is attached to the socket of the hips of animals. |
962 | GEN 33:1 | Then Jacob joined the rest of his family. Later that day Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, and there were 400 men with him. Jacob was worried because of that, so he separated the children. He put Leah’s children with Leah, Rachel’s children with Rachel, and the two female slaves’ children with their mothers. |
974 | GEN 33:13 | Jacob had no intention to go with Esau, but he said, “You know, sir, that the children are weak, and that I must take care of the female sheep and cows that are ◄sucking their mother’s milk/nursing their young►. If I force them to walk fast for a long distance in just one day, the animals will all die. |
993 | GEN 34:12 | Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.” |
1004 | GEN 34:23 | But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!” |
1012 | GEN 34:31 | But they replied, “◄Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!►” [RHQ] |
1030 | GEN 35:18 | But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” which means ‘son of my sorrow’, but his father named him Benjamin, which means ‘son of my right hand’. |
1036 | GEN 35:24 | The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin. |
1038 | GEN 35:26 | The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia. |
1041 | GEN 35:29 | He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body. |
1095 | GEN 37:11 | Joseph’s older brothers were furious/angry with him, but his father just kept thinking about what the dream meant. |
1131 | GEN 38:11 | Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, he can marry you.” But Judah really did not want Shelah to marry her, because he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar obeyed Judah and went back to live in her father’s house again. |
1179 | GEN 40:6 | The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried. |
1184 | GEN 40:11 | I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.” |
1194 | GEN 40:21 | He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king. |
1195 | GEN 40:22 | But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams. |
1209 | GEN 41:13 | And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph.” |
1217 | GEN 41:21 | But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up. |
1224 | GEN 41:28 | It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do. |
1250 | GEN 41:54 | Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities. |
1254 | GEN 42:1 | When someone told Jacob that there was grain in Egypt that people could buy, he said to his sons, “◄Why do you just sit there looking at each other?/Do not just sit there looking at each other!► [RHQ] We need some grain!” |
1257 | GEN 42:4 | But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s younger brother, to go with the others, because he was afraid/worried that something terrible might happen to him like what happened to Joseph. |
1265 | GEN 42:12 | He said to them, “I do not believe you. You have come just to see whether we would be able to defend ourselves if we were attacked!” |
1267 | GEN 42:14 | Joseph replied, “You are lying! I think it is just as I told you. You are spies! |
1269 | GEN 42:16 | Send one of your group to go and get your younger brother and bring him here. I will put the rest of you in prison, in order that I may test what you have said to find out whether what you are telling me is true. If the one who goes does not bring your younger brother here, then, just as surely as the king lives, it will be clear that you are lying and that you are spies.” |
1289 | GEN 42:36 | Their father Jacob said to them, “You have caused two of my children to be taken from me! Joseph is dead, and Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin from me! It is I who am suffering because of all these things that are happening!” |
1290 | GEN 42:37 | Reuben said to his father, “I will be responsible for Benjamin. I will take him to Egypt and bring him back to you. Let me take care of him. If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you may kill both of my sons.” |
1305 | GEN 43:14 | I will pray that God Almighty will cause that man to act mercifully toward you, so that he will let your other brother, as well as Benjamin, come back here with you. But as for me, if my sons are taken from me, then I will not have my sons!” |
1306 | GEN 43:15 | So the men took the gifts that Jacob said that they should take, and twice the amount of money that the grain would cost, and they also took Benjamin. They went down quickly to Egypt, and they stood in front of Joseph. |
1307 | GEN 43:16 | When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man who ◄was in charge of/supervised► things in his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare a meal, because I want them to eat with me at noon.” And he told him in what order they were to be seated. |
1320 | GEN 43:29 | Then he saw his younger brother Benjamin, his own mother’s other son. He asked them, “Is this your youngest brother, the one whom you told me about?” After they said “Yes,” he said to Benjamin, “Young man, I pray that God will act kindly toward you.” |
1325 | GEN 43:34 | And when their portions of food were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s portion! So they ate food and drank wine with Joseph and became very cheerful. |
1337 | GEN 44:12 | Then the servant started to search for the cup in each sack. He started with the oldest brother’s sack and ended with the youngest one’s sack. And he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack and showed it to them. |
1371 | GEN 45:12 | “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you. |
1373 | GEN 45:14 | Then he threw his arms around his younger brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried. |
1381 | GEN 45:22 | To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin! |
1395 | GEN 46:8 | ◄Here is/I will now give you► a list of the names of the members of Jacob’s family who went with him to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son; Reuben’s sons Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; Simeon and his sons Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul, who was the son of a Canaan people-group woman; Levi and his sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; Judah and his sons, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (his other sons, Er, and Onan, had died in Canaan); Perez and his two sons Hezron and Hamul; Issachar and his sons Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron; Zebulon and his sons Sered, Elon, and Jahleel; (Those were the sons of Jacob and Leah, and their daughter Dinah, who were born in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia: There were 33 of them, altogether.) They had Gad and his sons Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli; Asher and his sons Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah; and their sister Serah; Beriah’s sons Heber and Malkiel; (Those were the children and grandchildren of Jacob and Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah: There were 16 of them, altogether.) Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel; (Ephraim and Manasseh were Joseph’s two sons. They did not go down to Egypt because they were already in Egypt. They were sons of Asenath, the daughter of On, who was the priest in the temple in On city.) Benjamin and his sons Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; (Those were the sons and grandsons of Rachel and Jacob: There were 14 people altogether.) Dan and his son Hushim; Naphtali and his sons Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. (Those were the sons and grandsons of Jacob and Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel: There were seven people altogether.) |
1421 | GEN 46:34 | answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds. |
1424 | GEN 47:3 | The king asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” They replied, “We are shepherds, just as our ancestors were.” |
1457 | GEN 48:5 | “nd now I will consider that your two sons, who were born to you here in Egypt before I came here, will ◄belong to me/be as though they are my sons►. Ephraim and Manasseh will be as though they were my sons, and they will inherit my possessions, just like my sons Reuben and Simeon and the others will. |
1480 | GEN 49:6 | I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you ◄hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of► oxen just to ◄have fun/see them suffer►. |
1485 | GEN 49:11 | The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET]. |
1490 | GEN 49:16 | Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people. |
1501 | GEN 49:27 | Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours ◄its prey/the animals that it has killed►, and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.” |
1524 | GEN 50:17 | ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your older brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message. |
1525 | GEN 50:18 | Then his older brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.” |
1536 | EXO 1:3 | Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, |
1543 | EXO 1:10 | We must find a way to control them! If we do not do that, their population will continue to grow. Then, if enemies [PRS] attack us, they will join with our enemies and fight against us, and they will escape from our land.” |
1569 | EXO 2:14 | The man replied, “◄Who made you our ruler and judge?/No one made you our ruler and judge!► [RHQ] You have no right to interfere with us Are you going to kill me just like you killed that Egyptian man yesterday?” Then Moses/I was afraid, because he/I thought, “Since that man knows what I did, surely other people know, too.” |
