54 | GEN 2:23 | The man looked at that woman, and he said, “This is really good. Now I have a mate. God took out a part of my body, and he made it into a mate for me. Yes, he used my rib bone to make her. God made her out of a man’s body, so I’m going to call her woman.” |
58 | GEN 3:2 | The woman said, “No, that’s not true. We can eat fruit from those trees there in the garden. |
96 | GEN 4:16 | After that, Cain went away from God and went to live in a place called Nod. That country was on the east side of Eden. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Lamek’s other wife, Zillah, had a son called Tubal Cain. Tubal Cain grew up and made tools from iron and from a brown metal called bronze. Zillah also had a daughter, called Namah. |
128 | GEN 5:22 | Then Enok lived for another 300 years after Methuselah was born, and he had more sons and daughters. Enok was always God’s friend, and he spent a lot of time with God. One day, when he was 365 years old, he wasn’t here on the earth any more. Nobody could find him anywhere. You see, he didn’t die, but God took him straight up to heaven. |
135 | GEN 5:29 | He named his son Noah. That name means help people be happy. Lamek said, “God cursed the ground, so we have to work really hard to dig the ground, but Noah will help us be happy, even though we have to work really hard.” |
138 | GEN 5:32 | Noah lived a long time too. After he was 500 years old, he had 3 sons. They were called Shem, and Ham, and Jafeth. |
142 | GEN 6:4 | Those men that were called the Sons of God, they slept with the pretty women, like men usually sleep with their wives, and then those women had kids called Nefalim. Those Nefalim kids grew up to be big, strong fighting men. They were the great fighters in the stories from a long time ago. |
146 | GEN 6:8 | But God looked at the man called Noah, and Noah made God happy. |
147 | GEN 6:9 | This is the story about Noah and his family. Noah was a good man. He didn’t do anything wrong. He was God’s friend, and he spent a lot of time with God. |
151 | GEN 6:13 | So God said to Noah, “Look, everyone is doing bad things and hurting each other. I’m going to kill everyone, and I will finish up everything on the earth.” |
152 | GEN 6:14 | Then God said to Noah, “Make a really big boat for yourself. Make it out of that strong wood called cypress. Make some rooms in the boat. And get some tar, and paint the inside of the boat, and paint the outside too. That will keep the water out of the boat. |
160 | GEN 6:22 | Then Noah did all of that. He did everything that God told him to do. |
161 | GEN 7:1 | After that, God said to Noah, “You are the only man that lives the right way. Get your family and take them into the big boat. |
165 | GEN 7:5 | So Noah did everything just the way God told him to. |
166 | GEN 7:6 | Noah was 600 years old at the time that he went into the big boat to be safe from the flood. Noah, and his wife, and his 3 sons, and their wives too, they all went into the big boat. |
168 | GEN 7:8 | And a big mob of animals came to Noah, and he took them into the boat too, just like God told him to. There were all sorts of animals. There were animals that were the right sort to give to God, and animals that were not the right sort to give to God. And there were birds and even animals that crawl around on the ground. And there were males and females of each sort of animal, and they went in 2 at a time. They all came together on that big boat, just like God wanted them to. |
171 | GEN 7:11 | Noah was 600 years old at the time that the flood water came. It came on the 17th day of the 2nd month of that year. Noah, and his wife, and his sons, and their wives too, they all went into the big boat. The names of Noah’s sons were Shem, and Ham, and Jafeth, and they each had a wife. They all went into the boat with all the animals. There were wild animals, and animals that are not wild, and animals that crawl around on the ground. And all the birds were there too. There were males and females of every bird and animal on that big boat. All of the different sorts of animals went into that big boat with Noah. They went in 2 at a time, just like God told Noah. And after the last animal went into the boat with Noah and his family, God shut the door. Then, on that same day, the rain came out of the sky. It rained really hard all the time. It was like God opened up a big window in the sky, and rain poured down. And water came up from springs, and from everywhere under the ground too. It kept on raining all the time for 40 days. |
183 | GEN 7:23 | There were no people or animals left on the earth. There were no birds, and no animals that crawl around on the ground, and no other animals, and no people. God killed them all and washed them away. The only ones that stayed alive were the animals and birds on the big boat with Noah and his family. |
185 | GEN 8:1 | And then God thought about Noah and the animals with him in that big boat. And he made a strong wind blow on the flood water to help it to go down. |
190 | GEN 8:6 | Then, 40 days later, Noah opened a window in the big boat. He wanted to find out if the water went down, and if a bird could find some dry ground. |
192 | GEN 8:8 | So Noah let a pigeon go out of the window. But the flood water still covered the ground, and the pigeon couldn’t find a place to stop and rest, so it went back to the big boat. Noah held out his hand for the bird, and he helped it back into the boat. |
194 | GEN 8:10 | Noah waited for 7 more days, and then he let the pigeon go out of the boat again. |
195 | GEN 8:11 | This time the pigeon came back just before night time. It had a fresh leaf from an olive tree in its mouth. Then Noah knew the flood water was getting lower, and the trees were growing again. |
196 | GEN 8:12 | Noah waited 7 more days, then he sent the pigeon out again. This time the pigeon didn’t come back to the big boat. |
197 | GEN 8:13 | Noah was 601 years old at that time. The water was still going down, and on the 1st day of the new year, Noah took off some of the roof from the big boat and looked around. He could see that the ground was getting dry. |
199 | GEN 8:15 | Then God said to Noah, |
202 | GEN 8:18 | So Noah, and his wife, and his sons, and their wives, they all came out of the big boat. And all the animals and all the birds came out of the big boat too. They came out in groups. Each sort of animal was in its family group. |
204 | GEN 8:20 | Then Noah piled up stones to make a special table with a flat top, and he got one of each sort of animal and bird that are the right sorts to give to God, and he killed them, and he put them on that special table, and he burned them there. He did that to give them to God, to say thank you to God. |
207 | GEN 9:1 | God was good to Noah and his sons. God said to them, “I want you to have lots of kids, and fill the earth with people. |
214 | GEN 9:8 | Then God told Noah and his sons, |
223 | GEN 9:17 | And God said to Noah, “This is very important. That rainbow will help you remember that I myself promised that for every living thing.” |
224 | GEN 9:18 | Noah had 3 sons. Their names were Shem, and Ham, and Jafeth. They were on the boat with Noah, and after they got off the boat, they had their own sons and daughters. One of Ham’s sons was called Canaan, and there were lots of other sons and daughters too. And later, all those kids had more kids, and it kept going like that. All the people in the world are from Noah’s family. |
226 | GEN 9:20 | Soon after Noah came out of the big boat, he started growing a garden. He planted some grape vines, and they grew some grapes. Then he made some wine from those grapes. |
227 | GEN 9:21 | Noah drank some of that wine and got drunk. He took his clothes off and went to sleep in his tent. |
230 | GEN 9:24 | After Noah woke up, he found out what Ham, his youngest son, did to him. |
231 | GEN 9:25 | Then Noah said, “I’m going to curse Canaan, Ham’s son. He will have to work hard for his relatives, without pay. |
234 | GEN 9:28 | Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood. |
236 | GEN 10:1 | This is the story about Noah’s sons and their families. His sons were Shem, and Ham, and Jafeth, and after that big flood, they had kids too. |
243 | GEN 10:8 | One of the men that was born into Cush’s family was called Nimrod. After he grew up, he became a strong fighter. |
244 | GEN 10:9 | He was the best hunter in the world too. Whenever people talked about good hunters, they said things like this, “That man is a really good hunter. He is just like Nimrod, the best hunter in the world.” |
245 | GEN 10:10 | Nimrod controlled the country called Babylonia, and he was the boss over the cities called Babel, and Erek, and Akad. |
246 | GEN 10:11 | After that, Nimrod got the country called Assyria, and he built the towns called Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah. |
247 | GEN 10:12 | Then he built a big town called Resen. It was between Nineveh and Calah. |
248 | GEN 10:13 | The tribes that were from Ham’s son Egypt and his family were the Lud mob, and the Anam mob, and the Lehab mob, and the Naftuh mob, |
267 | GEN 10:32 | That is the big list of all the families and tribes that were born into Noah’s family. They split up into their own nations, and they went everywhere after the big flood. |
275 | GEN 11:8 | So God made all the people talk in different languages. None of them could understand anything the other people were saying. So they stopped building their big city. |
289 | GEN 11:22 | Serug was 30 years old when he had a son called Nahor. |
290 | GEN 11:23 | Serug lived for 200 years after he had Nahor, and he had more sons and daughters. |
291 | GEN 11:24 | Nahor was 29 years old when he had a son called Terah. |
292 | GEN 11:25 | Nahor lived for 119 years after he had Terah, and he had more sons and daughters. |
293 | GEN 11:26 | Terah had 3 sons after he was 70 years old. Their names were Abram, Nahor and Haran. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | This is the story about Terah’s family. Terah had 3 sons, called Abram, and Nahor, and Haran. Haran had a son called Lot. |
295 | GEN 11:28 | And he also had 2 daughters called Milcah and Iscah. After that, Haran died, while his father, Terah, was still alive. He died in Ur, in Chaldia country, the place where he was born. Nahor, Haran’s brother, married Milcah. And Abram married a woman called Sarai, |
317 | GEN 12:18 | Then that big boss found out that Sarai was already Abram’s wife, and he got really wild. He sent somebody to get Abram, and he said to Abram, “You did a really bad thing to me. You tricked me. You didn’t tell me that Sarai is your wife. You said, ‘She is my sister,’ and you let me marry her. Now, here is your wife. Take her back, and then get out of my country.” |
335 | GEN 13:16 | Look at the ground you are standing on, it has lots of little bits of dirt. Nobody can count all those little bits of dirt on the ground, and just like that, nobody will be able to count all the people that will be in your family later on. |
361 | GEN 14:24 | No. The only thing that I will keep is the food that I ate and the food that my fighting men ate. And these men, Mamreh, and Aner, and Eskol, and their fighting men, they helped me save your people and your things too, so you can give them some of those things.” |
417 | GEN 17:19 | God said, “No, not Ishmael. Listen, your wife Sarah will have a baby boy. He will be your son, and you will call him Isaac.” (That name Isaac means laugh.) And God said, “He will be the son I’m talking about. I will keep this agreement going with him. It will be the same for him, and for all the people that will be born into his family later on. This agreement will go on for ever. |
460 | GEN 19:2 | He said, “Sirs, come and stay in my house. You can wash your feet and sleep here tonight, then you can go on your way tomorrow morning.” The men said, “No, it’s all right. We will sleep outside in the park.” |
497 | GEN 20:1 | At one time, Abraham moved his camp south to the Negev desert, and he lived between the 2 towns called Kadesh and Shur. Then later, he moved his camp to a town called Gerar. |
521 | GEN 21:7 | She also said, “Nobody reckoned that I can ever have a kid. But look, Abraham is old now, but I had a baby boy, and Abraham is his father.” |
560 | GEN 22:12 | The angel said, “Don’t kill that boy. Don’t hurt him in any way. Now I know that you respect God so much that you will do anything he tells you to do. You will even kill your only son for God.” |
7225 | 1SA 1:11 | “God, you are the boss of everything. I am just your worker. I’m sad. Please help me. Don’t forget about me. I want to ask you this. Let me have a little boy. If you do that, I’ll give him back to you, so he can work for you until he gets old. Nobody will cut his hair, so that other people will see that he belongs to you.” |
7229 | 1SA 1:15 | Hannah answered, “No, old man. I’m not drunk. I haven’t drunk any wine at all. I’m a sad woman. I talked to God, and I told him my story. |
7242 | 1SA 1:28 | Now I want to give him to God. He will work for God until he gets old.” After she told him that, they showed respect to God. |
7258 | 1SA 2:16 | That man might answer, “Wait for me to burn the fat first. Then you can get the meat.” But the worker said, “No. Give it to me right now, or I will just take it from you.” |
7283 | 1SA 3:5 | And he got up and ran to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” Eli answered, “No, I didn’t call you. Go back and lie down.” So Samuel went back and lay down. |
7284 | 1SA 3:6 | Then God called out again, “Samuel.” So the boy got up again and went to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” The old man said, “No, boy, I didn’t call out to you. Go back and lie down.” |
7306 | 1SA 4:7 | and they got frightened, and they said to each other, “Oh no. Their God has come to them. This is the first time this sort of thing has happened to us. Now we’re in big trouble. |
7307 | 1SA 4:8 | Nobody can save us from their powerful gods. Their gods helped them when they were in the desert. They hit the Egypt mob with all kinds of sickness and other trouble. |
7390 | 1SA 8:19 | But they didn’t listen to him. They said, “No. We want a big boss. |
7448 | 1SA 11:1 | After that, the big boss of the mob called Ammon went to the town called Jabesh, in the Gilead country. His name was Nahash, and he came with big mobs of soldiers. They all stood in a circle around Jabesh. Nobody in the town could go outside. Then the Jabesh mob sent a messenger to that boss. He said, “Don’t kill us dead. We will let you be our boss. We will be your workers. Let’s all agree about that. You promise not to kill us dead, and we will promise to be your workers.” |
7449 | 1SA 11:2 | Nahash sent the messenger back to say, “All right. I will not kill you mob dead. I will just take out your eyes. I will take out the right eye from every one of you. That’s the way I will shame you Israel mob. Whenever people from other places look at you mob, you will feel ashamed.” |
7450 | 1SA 11:3 | The elders from that place sent the messenger back. They told him to tell Nahash, “First let us wait for 7 days. We will send messengers to every place in Israel. Maybe somebody will come to help us, maybe not. If not, we will give ourselves to you. Then you can take out our eyes.” |
7573 | 1SA 15:11 | “Saul didn’t listen to me. He’s turned away from me. Now I’m sorry that I picked him to be the big boss.” Samuel heard that message, and he was very angry and upset. All night he talked to God about it. |
7588 | 1SA 15:26 | But Samuel said to him, “No. I can’t go back with you. You didn’t listen to God, so he will not listen to you now. You did wrong things, so God has said, ‘You can’t be the big boss any more.’” |
7595 | 1SA 15:33 | But Samuel said to him, “You killed people with your own long knife. Now lots of women have no children any more. Well, just like that your mother will have no children any more.” So Samuel killed Agag dead right there at Gilgal. And God watched him do it. |
7602 | 1SA 16:5 | Samuel answered, “No, I came happily. I came to burn this young cow with you mob, to give it to God. You have to wash and get ready. You have to be clean in God’s way before we can burn this young cow.” He also told Jesse and his sons to come. And he helped them to get ready. |
7604 | 1SA 16:7 | But God said to Samuel, “No, not this one. I didn’t pick him. You just see that he has a strong tall body. You people look at the outside of a person, but I know what they are like inside. I know the way they think.” |
7605 | 1SA 16:8 | So Samuel asked Jesse to send the next son to him. His name was Abinadab. He came, and Samuel said, “No, God hasn’t picked this one.” |
7606 | 1SA 16:9 | Then Jesse sent Shammah, and Samuel said, “No, God hasn’t picked this one either.” |
7653 | 1SA 17:33 | Saul said, “No way. You can’t fight with him. You are only a young man, and he’s a brave soldier. He was a soldier since he was young.” |
7670 | 1SA 17:50 | And that’s how David won. He didn’t use a long knife. No, he killed that Philistia man dead just with a sling and a stone. |
7712 | 1SA 19:4 | Next morning Jonathan and his father went for a walk in the bush, and they talked about David. Jonathan said good things about David like this, “He didn’t do wrong to you. He did all kinds of good things for you. He did things that helped you. You can’t do wrong to him now. |
7733 | 1SA 20:1 | After that, David ran away from the community called Nayoth in the town called Ramah. He went to Jonathan’s place and asked him, “What have I done? What wrong thing did I do? Why does your father keep on looking for me, to kill me?” |
7734 | 1SA 20:2 | Jonathan answered, “No way. That is not true. He will not kill you. My father has not told me that he wants to do that. He always tells me what he is thinking. That’s his way. He does not tell lies to me.” |
7735 | 1SA 20:3 | But David said, “Listen. Let God punish me if what I said is not true. Your father knows that you and I are close friends. We are also brothers-in-law. He might think like this, ‘I can’t tell my son. He might get upset.’ No, listen to me. God is listening, so I can’t tell lies. Today I might die.” |
7776 | 1SA 21:2 | After that, David went to a place called Nob. There was an old man there called Ahimelek. He used to look after God’s ceremonies. He saw David coming with no soldiers. There were just a few work-men with him. This made Ahimelek afraid. He was so frightened that he shook. He asked David, “Why did you come here all by yourself? Where are your soldiers? What happened?” |
7799 | 1SA 22:9 | That man Doeg, from Edom, he went back and told Saul, “I saw David at Nob. He went to see that old man Ahimelek, Ahitub’s son. |
7801 | 1SA 22:11 | As soon as Saul heard it, he sent a messenger to get Ahimelek and his family to come to him. You see, at that time, Ahimelek and the men in his family used to look after God’s ceremonies at Nob. After they got Saul’s message, they all went to his place. |
7804 | 1SA 22:14 | The old man answered, “No way, boss. David truly works for you. He is your best worker. And he is also your son-in-law, a boss soldier. Everybody that works for you respects him very much. |
7807 | 1SA 22:17 | And he told his workers, “Kill all these men dead. They listen to David and not to me. They knew that he ran away from me, but they did not tell me.” But the workers said, “No. We can’t kill these men that look after God’s ceremonies.” |
7809 | 1SA 22:19 | Then he went to Nob, the town where Ahimelek’s family lived. They were the people who used to look after God’s ceremonies. Doeg killed dead everybody there too. He killed men dead, also women, kids, babies, bulls, donkeys, and sheep. He killed everything dead. |
7852 | 1SA 24:11 | Just now God brought us together in this cave. I could do whatever I liked to you. Some said to me, ‘You can kill him dead now.’ But I was sorry for you. I said, ‘No, I can’t kill my boss. God picked him, to be the big boss of Israel.’ |
7854 | 1SA 24:13 | One day, God will judge you and me. If you do wrong to me, he will punish you. But I can’t kill you. No way. |
7866 | 1SA 25:2 | There was a man there called Nabal. He belonged to Caleb’s family. His farm was near the town called Carmel, in that Maon country. He had lots of money, 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. He was a hard man and a cheeky man. His wife was called Abigail. She was very beautiful and very clever. One day, Nabal started to cut wool from the sheep. They always used to have a party after they finished that job. |
7869 | 1SA 25:5 | So he told 10 young men, “Go to Carmel and see that man Nabal. Say to him, ‘Our boss David says to say hello to you. |
7873 | 1SA 25:9 | The young men went to Nabal’s place and told him David’s message. But at first Nabal did not answer. |
