57	GEN 3:1	When Yahweh God made all the animals, there was one snake that was very good at tricking people. It was better than all the other animals. The snake went to the woman and spoke to her. “God said to you, ‘Don't eat the fruit of any of these trees.’ Did he really say that?”
65	GEN 3:9	But Yahweh God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
67	GEN 3:11	God said to him, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat the fruit that I told you not to eat?”
69	GEN 3:13	Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do that?” She answered, “The snake tricked me and I ate it.”
86	GEN 4:6	Yahweh said to him, “Why are you angry? And why has your face changed?
89	GEN 4:9	Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is your brother?” He answered, “Don't ask me, I don't know. Why should I look after my brother?”
90	GEN 4:10	Then Yahweh said to him, “Why did you kill him? That was terrible. I know that you killed him because I can see his blood on the ground. Because you have killed him, it is as though he is calling out to me so that I can pay back and kill you in your turn.
317	GEN 12:18	Then the king sent for Abram and asked him, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that Sarai was your wife?
363	GEN 15:2	Abram answered, “Lord Yahweh, why will you give good things to me? I have no children. Only one man is like my son, my servant Eliezer of Damascus.
369	GEN 15:8	But Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know this land belongs to me?”
387	GEN 16:5	Sarai said to her husband, “Because she is carrying your child, she has become proud. I myself told you to take her. She has become proud because she is carrying a child. She keeps on speaking unkindly to me. She has been doing it all the time,” Sarai said. “Which one of us is right, you or me? Let Yahweh decide!”
390	GEN 16:8	He said to Hagar, “You are the girl who has been working for Sarai, aren't you? What are you doing here? Where have you come from and where are you going?” Hagar answered, “I am running away from Sarai.”
415	GEN 17:17	Then Abraham bowed down and put his face to the ground to praise God. But he laughed because he thought, “How can I have children when I am already 100 years old? And how can Sarah have a child when she is 90 years old? She is a very old woman already!”
416	GEN 17:18	He asked God, “Why can't Ishmael have my things when I die?”
434	GEN 18:9	Then they asked Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?” He answered, “She is there inside.”
437	GEN 18:12	So Sarah laughed to herself and thought, “How can I have a child? Now that I am an old woman, I am weak. How can I do that? My husband is already an old man. How can we have a child?”
438	GEN 18:13	Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did your wife laugh? Why did she say, ‘Am I really going to have a child, when I am an old woman?’
448	GEN 18:23	Abraham asked Yahweh, “Are you really going to destroy the wicked people and the good people too?
449	GEN 18:24	If there are fifty good people in the city, will you destroy all the people? Won't you leave the city as it is to save the good people?
453	GEN 18:28	But maybe there will only be forty-five good people. If there aren't five more, will you destroy the whole city?” Yahweh answered, “No. I will not destroy the city today.”
454	GEN 18:29	Then Abraham spoke again. He said, “Maybe there will only be forty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.”
455	GEN 18:30	Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, but let me speak again. Maybe there will only be thirty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.”
456	GEN 18:31	Abraham said, “I am bold still speaking to you, Lord, but please let me say more. Maybe there will only be twenty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.”
457	GEN 18:32	Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, and I will speak just once more. Maybe there will only be ten good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “If there are ten good people I will not destroy the city.”
463	GEN 19:5	They called out to Lot and asked, “Where are the men who came to stay with you? Bring them out here to us. We want to sleep with them!” But the men of Sodom wanted to do wrong with them.
500	GEN 20:4	At that time Sarah was in Abimelech's house, but he had not yet married her and he said to God, “I have done nothing wrong. So why will you kill me and my family?
505	GEN 20:9	Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? What wrong have I done to you to make you send this trouble on me and my people? That was very bad. No one should ever do that kind of thing to me.
506	GEN 20:10	Why did you do it?”
531	GEN 21:17	God heard him crying, and God's angel spoke from heaven to his mother. He said, “Why are you upset? Don't be afraid. God has heard your son crying.
540	GEN 21:26	Abimelech said, “I didn't know that. You didn't tell me about it, and this is the first time I have heard of it. Who could have taken it?”
543	GEN 21:29	“Why did you do that?” asked Abimelech.
555	GEN 22:7	Isaac said to his father, “Father!” His father said, “What is it?” “Here are the firewood and coals, but where is the lamb for you to burn as a sacrifice?” the boy asked.
559	GEN 22:11	But Yahweh's angel called out to him from heaven and said, “Abraham!” Abraham answered, “What is it?”
597	GEN 24:5	But the servant said, “Maybe the girl won't want to come here. Shall I send your son back to that country to stay there?”
615	GEN 24:23	He said, “Who is your father? Is there room in his house for my men and me to stay for the night?”
631	GEN 24:39	I said, ‘What will I do if she won't come with me?’
635	GEN 24:43	Look! I am standing here at the well. When a young girl comes here for water, I will say to her, May I have a drink from your jar?
639	GEN 24:47	I said, ‘Who is your father?’ She answered, ‘My father is called Bethuel, and his father is Nahor and his mother is Milcah.’ Then I put the ring in her nose and the two bangles on her arms.
650	GEN 24:58	So they called Rebecca and asked, “Do you want to go with this man?” “Yes,” she answered.
657	GEN 24:65	and asked Abraham's servant, “Who is that man walking towards us?” He answered, “He is my master.” So she took a cloth and covered her face.
681	GEN 25:22	She knew that she was going to have twins. Before they were born they struggled together inside her. Rebecca said, “Oh dear, what has happened to me?” So she prayed to Yahweh about the children.
691	GEN 25:32	Esau said, “All right! I am dying of hunger, so what good is it to me if I am the firstborn?”
693	GEN 25:34	Then Jacob gave him some damper and some of the soup he had cooked. Esau ate the damper and drank the soup and he got up and left, saying, “What does it matter? Let him be the firstborn!”
702	GEN 26:9	Abimelech called for Isaac and said to him, “She is your wife, isn't she! Why did you tell people she was your sister?” Isaac said, “I thought, ‘People here might kill me so that they can take my wife.’”
703	GEN 26:10	“Why have you done this? You have tricked us, haven't you!” Abimelech said. “Any of my men might have slept with your wife, and that would be your sin, not ours.”
720	GEN 26:27	Isaac said to them, “Why have you come here to me today? You were angry with me before and you chased me away.”
729	GEN 27:1	Isaac was now an old man and he was blind. He called for his older son Esau and said to him, “Son!” “What is it?” he answered.
746	GEN 27:18	Then Jacob went and took the food to his father and said, “Father!” “What is it?” his father said. “Which of my sons are you?”
748	GEN 27:20	The old man said, “Son! How did you find the animal so quickly?” Jacob said, “Yahweh your God helped me, so I found it quickly.”
749	GEN 27:21	Isaac said, “Come closer and let me touch you. Are you really Esau?”
752	GEN 27:24	but again he asked him, “Are you really Esau?” “Yes,” said Jacob.
760	GEN 27:32	“Who are you?” Isaac asked. Esau answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
761	GEN 27:33	The old man was very upset and began to shake all over. He said, “Someone has killed an animal and brought me the meat before you. I have eaten it and given him my special blessing already. I can't take back those words. That blessing is his forever. Who was that person?”
764	GEN 27:36	Esau said, “I am your firstborn son, but he tricked me before, and so now he is like your firstborn son. And now he has done it again. You should have given me that special blessing, but he got it. Oh dear, it is his now! Twice he has tricked me. Truly he is called Jacob. Please, isn't there a blessing for me too?” The name Jacob means “he tricks people.”
766	GEN 27:38	Esau kept on asking and asking him. “Isn't there just one more special blessing? Isn't there also a word for me? Please give me a special word too.” And Esau was upset and began to cry.
774	GEN 27:46	Then she went to her husband Isaac and said, “Those women from here that Esau married don't belong to us; they are Hittites. I am tired of them. If Jacob also takes one of them for a wife, then what good will that do me?”
800	GEN 29:4	Jacob asked the shepherds, “Where do you come from?” “From Haran,” they answered.
801	GEN 29:5	Jacob asked, “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” “Yes,” they said.
802	GEN 29:6	“Is he well?” he asked. “He is well,” they answered. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel, who looks after his sheep. She is bringing them to drink.”
803	GEN 29:7	Jacob said, “The sun is still high, so you can't take your sheep inside yet. Why don't you let them drink and take them back to the grass?”
811	GEN 29:15	Laban said to Jacob, “You shouldn't work for me for nothing just because you are my nephew. How much money will I give you?”
821	GEN 29:25	Jacob didn't know that he had slept with Leah until the next morning. He went to Laban and said, “Why have you done this to me? I worked hard to get Rachel, and you have tricked me!”
846	GEN 30:15	Leah answered, “You have already taken my husband away from me. Are you going to take my son's mandrakes away too?” Rachel said, “If you give me some mandrakes, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.” In that country the people thought that if women ate mandrakes they would become pregnant.
859	GEN 30:28	You have worked for me, so tell me the amount of money, and I will give it to you. How much do you want?”
862	GEN 30:31	“How much will I give you?” Laban asked. Jacob said, “I don't want any money. Just let me go and take the black lambs and young goats that are spotted. I will take those and that is all. From today you can easily find out if I am honest. When you look and see any goat of mine that is not spotted or any sheep that is not black, you will know that it has been stolen. If you agree, I will go on looking after your sheep and goats.”
885	GEN 31:11	Then God's angel spoke to me in the dream and said, ‘Jacob!’ ‘What is it?’ I answered.
900	GEN 31:26	The next day Laban went to Jacob and said, “Why did you trick me and take my daughters just as people take women away in a war?
901	GEN 31:27	Why did you trick me and run away? You didn't tell me. If you had told me, I would have sent you off happily with singing and music.
904	GEN 31:30	I know you were always thinking about going home and that is why you left, but you have stolen my gods. Why did you steal them?”
910	GEN 31:36	Then Jacob got angry. “What have I done wrong? What law have I broken that you are looking for me?
911	GEN 31:37	You have looked through all my belongings, and what have you found that belongs to you? Put it here where your relatives and mine can see it. Let them decide which one of us is right.
946	GEN 32:18	He said to the first servant, “When my brother Esau meets you he will ask, ‘Who is your master? And where are you going? And whose are these goats and other animals?’
956	GEN 32:28	The man asked, “What is your name?” “I am Jacob,” he answered.
958	GEN 32:30	Jacob said, “Tell me your name.” But he answered, “Why do you want to know my name?” Then he blessed Jacob.
966	GEN 33:5	Esau looked up and saw the children and their mothers. He said, “Who are these people?” Jacob said, “God has been kind to me and given me these children.”
969	GEN 33:8	Esau said, “Those animals I saw on the way, what did they mean?” Jacob answered, “They are yours. I wanted you to be happy.”
976	GEN 33:15	Esau said, “Then I will leave some of my men with you.” “Why?” asked Jacob. “I only want to make you happy.”
1094	GEN 37:10	He also told his father. His father was angry with him. “What kind of dream was that?” he said. “Are you thinking your mother and brothers and I will come and bow down to you?”
1099	GEN 37:15	He was wandering around searching for his brothers. But a man saw him and asked, “What are you looking for?”
1100	GEN 37:16	“I am looking for my older brothers,” Joseph said. “They are looking after their sheep and goats. If you know where they are, can you tell me?”
1110	GEN 37:26	But one of the brothers, Judah, spoke to the others. “Hey!” he said. “Let us sell Joseph to these people. If we kill him we won't get any money. So why should we kill him and hide his body? He is our brother.” And his brothers agreed.
1113	GEN 37:29	But when the others gave Joseph to those people Reuben wasn't there. He came back to them and looked in the well but Joseph wasn't in the well. He tore the coat he was wearing because he was so upset. He said, “He is not in the well! What can I do?”
1116	GEN 37:32	Then they went home taking the coat back to their father. “We found this coat. Isn't it Joseph's coat?” they said.
1136	GEN 38:16	So Judah didn't know it was his daughter-in-law Tamar. He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “Come on, how much money do you want?” She said, “What will you give me?”
1138	GEN 38:18	He asked, “What can I lend you?” She said, “That cord of yours with your name and the walking stick you are carrying.” So he gave them to her and they slept together and he made her pregnant.
1141	GEN 38:21	He asked some men there, “Where is that bad woman who was sitting at the side of the road?” They answered, “There have never been any women who sleep with other men in this place. And there aren't any here today.”
1145	GEN 38:25	They were taking her away to burn her, but on the way she sent the things to her father-in-law. And she sent him a message saying, “I am pregnant today, but just look at these two things. Who do you think they belong to? The man who made me pregnant gave them to me.”
1180	GEN 40:7	“Why are you so upset today?” he asked.
1254	GEN 42:1	There was only a little food in Canaan where Jacob and his family were living, and they were very hungry. When Jacob heard that there was plenty of food in Egypt, he said to his sons, “What are you doing just talking to each other? Go to Egypt. I have been told that there is food there. Go and buy some so that we won't starve to death.” Then Joseph's ten brothers went to Egypt with others to buy food. But their young brother Benjamin stayed at home. His father wouldn't let him go with the others because he loved Rachel's son so much and he was afraid something might happen to him.
1260	GEN 42:7	When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but they didn't recognize him. He behaved as though he didn't know them and asked angrily, “Where do you come from?” “We have come from Canaan to buy food,” they answered.
1281	GEN 42:28	He called to his brothers and said, “Here is my money in my bag. They have returned it to me!” This gave them a shock and they were very frightened and asked each other, “What has God done to us?”
1297	GEN 43:6	Jacob said, “Why did you tell him about this brother of yours? That has made me so sad. You shouldn't have told him.”
1298	GEN 43:7	They answered, “But he kept on asking about our family and he said, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you any more brothers?’ So we had to tell him. We didn't know he would tell us to bring our brother with us.”
1318	GEN 43:27	Then he said, “Are you well? You told me before about your father. Is he well? Is he still alive and well?”
1329	GEN 44:4	When they had gone a little way, Joseph spoke to the servant in charge of his house. “Go quickly,” he said. “Run after the men. When you reach them, say to them, ‘What have you done to my master? He was good to you but you have paid back evil to him.
1330	GEN 44:5	Why did you steal that special cup of his? No one else drinks from that cup except him because he owns it. When he wants to find out about people and about what they have done, that's what he would use to show him. You have done a very bad thing!’”
1332	GEN 44:7	They said, “Why do you say this? We didn't steal the governor's cup.
1333	GEN 44:8	You know that we brought back from Canaan the money we had found in our bags. Why would we steal silver or gold or anything precious belonging to your master?
1340	GEN 44:15	“Why did you do that?” Joseph said to them. “Didn't you know that I am the governor and I know things that are hidden from other people, and so I know everything you have done?”
1344	GEN 44:19	You said, ‘Is your father alive? Have you got another brother?’
