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. |
271 | GEN 11:4 | They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!” |
318 | GEN 12:19 | Why did you lie, saying she is your sister, with the result that I took her to be my wife? You should not have done that! So now take your wife, leave here and go!” |
335 | GEN 13:16 | I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! It will be easier to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP]. |
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. |
387 | GEN 16:5 | Then Sarai said to Abram, “It is your fault! I put my servant into your arms, so that you could sleep with her [EUP]. Now she realizes that she is pregnant, and she despises me. I think Yahweh will punish you for doing this to me!” |
388 | GEN 16:6 | So Abram said to Sarai, “You listen to me! She is your servant, so act towards her in the way you consider best.” Then Sarai started to mistreat her, so she ran away from Sarai. |
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. |
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.” |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Then Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But Yahweh said, “Don’t deny it! You did laugh.” |
465 | GEN 19:7 | He said to them, “My friends, don’t do such an evil thing! |
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. |
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!” |
475 | GEN 19:17 | When they were outside the city, one of the angels said, “If you want to remain alive, run away quickly! Don’t look back! And don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Flee to the hills! If you don’t, you will die!” |
476 | GEN 19:18 | But Lot said to one of the angels, “No, sir, don’t make me do that! |
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. |
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.” |
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.” |
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!” |
598 | GEN 24:6 | Abraham replied to him, “No! Be certain that you don’t take my son there! |
604 | GEN 24:12 | The servant prayed, “Yahweh God whom my master Abraham worships, enable me to be successful today! Act kindly to my master, Abraham! |
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.” |
636 | GEN 24:44 | If she says to me, “Certainly, drink some! And I will also draw some water for your camels,” that will be the woman whom you have chosen for my master’s son!’ |
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. |
683 | GEN 25:24 | When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born! |
695 | GEN 26:2 | but Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt! Live in the land where I will tell you to go! |
702 | GEN 26:9 | So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said to him, “Now I realize that she is really your wife! So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied to him, “I said that because I thought that someone here might kill me to get her.” |
704 | GEN 26:11 | Then Abimelech commanded all his people, saying, “Do not harm/molest this man or his wife! Anyone who does that will surely be executed!” |
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! |
791 | GEN 28:17 | He was afraid, and he said, “This place is very awesome! This is surely the place where God lives, and this is the entrance to heaven!” |
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!” |
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?” |
889 | GEN 31:15 | He treats us as though we were foreigners [RHQ]! Your working for him all these years was like a payment that you gave him as a price for us, but we will not inherit any of that money that he got as a price for us. He has spent it all! |
902 | GEN 31:28 | ◄You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye before they left!/Why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye before they left?► [RHQ] What you have done was foolish! |
911 | GEN 31:37 | Now you have searched through all my possessions, and what did you find from all these possessions that belongs to you? Put it here in front of my relatives and your relatives, so that they can decide who is right, you or me! |
970 | GEN 33:9 | But Esau replied, “My younger brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!” |
971 | GEN 33:10 | But Jacob said, “No, please, if you feel good toward me, accept these gifts from me. You have greeted me very kindly. Seeing your smiling face assures me that you have forgiven me. It is like seeing the face of God! |
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!” |
1011 | GEN 34:30 | Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will ◄hate me/say my name stinks►! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!” |
1090 | GEN 37:6 | He said to them, “Listen to the dream I had! |
1093 | GEN 37:9 | Later he had another dream, and again he told his older brothers about it. He said, “Listen to this! I had another dream. In this dream, the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me!” |
1106 | GEN 37:22 | Do not even shed his blood! We can throw him into this pit/cistern in the desert, but we should not harm him [MTY].” He said that, and then left them, planning to rescue Joseph later and take him back to his father. |
1116 | GEN 37:32 | They took that pretty robe back to their father and said, “We found this robe! Look at it. Is it your son’s robe?” |
1117 | GEN 37:33 | He recognized it, and he said, “Yes, it is my son’s robe! Some ferocious/wild animal must have attacked and killed him! I am sure that the animal has torn Joseph to pieces!” |
1159 | GEN 39:9 | No one in this household has more authority than I do. The only thing that he has not allowed me to have is you, because you are his wife! So ◄how could I do this wicked thing that you are asking me to do?/I certainly could not do this wicked thing!► [RHQ] I would be sinning against God if I did that!” |
1162 | GEN 39:12 | Potiphar’s wife grabbed his cloak and said, “Have sex [EUP] with me!” Joseph ran out of the house, but his cloak was still in her hand! |
1164 | GEN 39:14 | she called the household servants. She said to them, “Look! This Hebrew man that my husband brought to us is ◄insulting/trying to do something disgraceful to► us! He came into my room and tried to ◄rape me/make me have sex [EUP] with him►, but I screamed loudly. |
1167 | GEN 39:17 | Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave whom you brought here came into my room and tried to rape me! |
1205 | GEN 41:9 | Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you. |
1215 | GEN 41:19 | Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt! |
1262 | GEN 42:9 | And then Joseph remembered what he had dreamed about them many years previously. But he decided not to tell them yet that he was their younger brother. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to find out whether we will be able to defend ourselves if you attack us!” |
1263 | GEN 42:10 | One of them replied, “No, sir! We have come to buy grain. |
1266 | GEN 42:13 | But one of them replied, “No, that is not true! Originally there were twelve of us who were brothers, the sons of one man. Our younger brother is with our father. One younger brother has died. [EUP]” |
1267 | GEN 42:14 | Joseph replied, “You are lying! I think it is just as I told you. You are spies! |
1268 | GEN 42:15 | But this is how I will determine whether what you are saying is true. I think that as surely as the king lives, you are spies. And you will not leave this place until your youngest brother comes here! |
1275 | GEN 42:22 | Reuben said to them, “I told you not to harm the boy [RHQ], but you did not pay attention to what I said! Now we are being ◄paid back/punished► for killing him [MTY]!” |
1281 | GEN 42:28 | He exclaimed to his brothers, “Someone has returned my money! Here it is in my sack!” They started shaking with fear, and said to each other, “What is this that God has done to us?” |
1284 | GEN 42:31 | But we told him, ‘We are honest men! We are not spies. |
1288 | GEN 42:35 | As they were emptying their sacks, they were surprised that in each man’s sack was his pouch of money! When they and their father saw all the pouches of money, they were frightened. |
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!” |
1291 | GEN 42:38 | But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His older brother is dead, and he is the only one of my wife Rachel’s sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” |
1312 | GEN 43:21 | But at the place where we stopped for the night as we were returning home, we opened our sacks. We were astonished to see that in the top of each of our sacks was the exact amount of silver that we had paid for the grain! So we have brought it back with us. |
1314 | GEN 43:23 | The man replied, “Relax! Do not worry about it! I received the silver that you brought. Your God, the God your father worships, must have put it in your sacks.” And then he brought Simeon to them from the prison. |
1324 | GEN 43:33 | His brothers were astonished to see that their seats were arranged according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest! |
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. |
1329 | GEN 44:4 | When they had not gone far from the city, Joseph said to the servant in charge of things in his house, “Pursue those men immediately. When you catch up to them, say to them, ‘We did good things for you! Why have you paid us back by doing something bad to us? |
1330 | GEN 44:5 | You have stolen the cup that my master drinks from [RHQ]! It is the cup that he uses to find out things that nobody knows! What you did was very wicked!’” |
1332 | GEN 44:7 | But one of them replied to him, “Sir, why do you say such things? We are your servants, and we would never do anything like that! |
1333 | GEN 44:8 | We even brought back to you from Canaan land the silver that we found inside the tops of our sacks! So ◄we certainly would not steal silver or gold from your master’s house!/Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?► [RHQ] |
1362 | GEN 45:3 | Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said. |
1363 | GEN 45:4 | Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt! |
1367 | GEN 45:8 | Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt! |
1368 | GEN 45:9 | Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately! |
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! |
1385 | GEN 45:26 | One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true. |
1387 | GEN 45:28 | He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!” |
1417 | GEN 46:30 | Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.” |
1436 | GEN 47:15 | When the people of Egypt and Canaan had spent all their money for grain, they all kept coming to Joseph and saying, “Please give us some food! If you do not give us grain, we will die [RHQ]! We have used all our money to buy food, and we have no money left!” |
1444 | GEN 47:23 | Joseph said to the people who sold themselves and their land to him, “Listen to me! Today I have bought you and your land for the king. So here are seeds for you so that you can plant them in the ground. |
1446 | GEN 47:25 | They replied, “You have saved our lives! We want you to be pleased with us. And we will be the king’s slaves.” |
1463 | GEN 48:11 | Jacob said to Joseph, “I did not expect to see you again, but look at this! God has allowed me to see not only you, but he has allowed me to see your children, too!” |
1470 | GEN 48:18 | Joseph said to him, “My father, that is not right! The one on whom you put your left hand is my older son. Put your right hand on his head.” |
1488 | GEN 49:14 | Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, so tired that they cannot get up! |
1526 | GEN 50:19 | But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! God is the one who punishes people; ◄am I God?/I am not God!► [RHQ] |
1527 | GEN 50:20 | As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive! |
1528 | GEN 50:21 | So I say again, do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better. |
1542 | EXO 1:9 | He said to his people, “Look at what has happened! The Israeli people have become so numerous and so powerful that they now might conquer us! |
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.” |
1555 | EXO 1:22 | Then the king commanded all ◄the Egyptian people/his advisors►: “You must throw into the Nile River every baby boy born that the Hebrew women give birth to! But you can allow the baby girls to live.” |
1583 | EXO 3:3 | Moses/I thought, “I will go closer and try to see this strange sight! Why is the bush not burning up?” |
1585 | EXO 3:5 | Yahweh said, “Do not come closer! Because I am God, the ground on which you are standing is holy/taboo. So take off your sandals to show respect to me.” |
1605 | EXO 4:3 | He said, “Throw it down on the ground!” So, he/I threw it on the ground, and it became a snake! And he/I ran/jumped away from it. |
1609 | EXO 4:7 | Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your robe [MTY]!” So he/I did that, and when he/I took it out again, surprisingly, it was normal again, just like the rest of his/my body! |
1612 | EXO 4:10 | Moses/I replied, “O Yahweh! I am not an eloquent speaker! I was not an eloquent speaker before, and I have not become one since you started talking to me! I am not a good speaker [MTY], and I speak very slowly.” |
1635 | EXO 5:2 | But the king said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I pay attention to what he says and let the Israeli people [MTY] go? I do not know Yahweh! And furthermore, I will not let the Israeli people go!” |
1638 | EXO 5:5 | The king also said, “Listen to me! You people who now live in this land are now more numerous, and you want them to stop working and rest!” |
1650 | EXO 5:17 | But the king said, “You are lazy and do not want to work! That is why you keep saying, ‘Allow us to go to the desert and offer sacrifices to Yahweh.’ |
1651 | EXO 5:18 | So go and get back to work! We are not going to give you any straw, but you must keep making the same number of bricks!” |
1654 | EXO 5:21 | They said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Yahweh has seen what you two have done He will punish you [MTY], because you have caused the king and his officials to despise us! You have given them an excuse [MTY] to kill us!” |
