3	GEN 1:3	Then God spoke. “Let there be light,” he said. And then the light came out.
6	GEN 1:6	Then God spoke again. “Let the water separate, half above and half below.”
9	GEN 1:9	And God spoke again. “Let the water come together in one place,” he said, “so that the earth can appear.” Then the water came together in one place and the earth appeared.
11	GEN 1:11	Then God spoke again. “Let different kinds of trees and other plants grow on the land. The plants will give seeds and the different kinds of trees will give fruit.”
14	GEN 1:14	Then God spoke again. “Let lights come out in the sky. Let them light up the world, so that the day is separate from the night, and so that all the days are separate. Day and night will follow one after the other. And let them light up the world, so that the dry season will be separate from the wet season. The dry season and the wet season will also follow one after the other.”
20	GEN 1:20	Then God spoke again. “Let many different kinds of fish fill the sea, and let birds fly in the sky.”
24	GEN 1:24	Then God spoke again. “Let there be different kinds of animals and snakes, big ones and little ones, on the earth.”
81	GEN 4:1	Adam and his wife Eve lived together. They slept together and after a while Eve knew that she was pregnant. Later she gave birth to a son and said, “Yahweh has helped me, and so now I have given birth to a son.” And she named him Cain, because Cain means “I have got.”
82	GEN 4:2	Later she gave birth to another son and named him Abel. So now there were two boys. When Abel grew up he looked after sheep, but Cain grew trees and plants for food.
88	GEN 4:8	Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out into the bush.” And they went into the bush together, and Cain killed his brother there. He hit him and he died.
98	GEN 4:18	Later Cain's son Enoch had a son and he called him Irad. And Irad's son was called Mehujael. Then Mehujael had a son and he was called Methushael. Then Methushael had a son and he was called Lamech.
99	GEN 4:19	Lamech had two wives, Adah and Zillah.
102	GEN 4:22	Then Lamech's second wife, Zillah, gave birth to a baby boy called Tubal Cain. When he grew up Tubal Cain made many tools like tomahawks and other things for cutting, digging and hammering. He made them all from iron. His younger sister was called Naamah.
103	GEN 4:23	Lamech said to his two wives, “Listen now, Adah and Zillah. I have killed a man because he hit me first.
131	GEN 5:25	When Enoch's son Methuselah was 187 years old he had a son called Lamech.
134	GEN 5:28	When Lamech was 182 years old he had a son.
136	GEN 5:30	After that, Lamech lived another 595 years and he had other children.
201	GEN 8:17	Let out all the birds and animals. Take them with you, so that they can increase and live all over the earth.”
217	GEN 9:11	I am telling you these very important words today. Listen! From now on I will never do again what I have done in this world. I will never again send a lot of rain and flood the whole earth and destroy all the people and birds and animals.
240	GEN 10:5	Later on the descendants of Elishah and his brothers spread along the coast and on the islands. So they became separate tribes, one group in one place and another group in another place. Each tribe spoke its own language. They all lived separately but they had the same ancestor Japheth.
241	GEN 10:6	These were the sons of Ham. He was Japheth's younger brother. Their names were Cush, Egypt, Libya and Canaan.
248	GEN 10:13	Ham's son, Egypt, had seven sons. Their names were Lydia, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh,
249	GEN 10:14	Pathrus, Casluh and Caphtor. Caphtor, Egypt's youngest son, was the ancestor of the Philistine people. The descendants of Egypt were named after Lydia and his brothers.
254	GEN 10:19	All their areas were called by the one name Canaan, so Canaan was a very big country. The different places in Canaan spread from Sidon down to Gerar in the south near Gaza. And they went right over to the east, as far as Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which is near Lasha.
257	GEN 10:22	These were Shem's sons. Their names were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram.
270	GEN 11:3	Then those people talked about building houses. They said, “Let us make some houses out of mud.” So they wet some mud with water and made bricks and put them in the hot sun until they became hard. And they got some sticky tar. They put the bricks down one by one, and put some tar in between them so that the houses would be strong. And so they made their mud houses.
271	GEN 11:4	Then they said, “Come on, let us make a lot of houses. And let us make one very tall one. It won't be like these others, it will be really tall. Let us make it so tall it will reach the sky. We want to show each other that we are strong, and also show our grandchildren that their grandfathers were good at work and very clever. Let us do this now so that we won't live all over the country, but all together in one place.”
274	GEN 11:7	“Let us go down and mix up their language so that they won't understand each other.”
294	GEN 11:27	These are the descendants of Terah. His three sons were Abram, Nahor and Haran. Haran had a son called Lot,
298	GEN 11:31	Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the one whose father Haran had died, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, Abram's wife, and they left the city of Ur to go to the land of Canaan. Some time later they reached a city called Haran and they stayed there.
300	GEN 12:1	Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country belonging to you and your father and leave your people here, and go to a different country that I will show you.
303	GEN 12:4	Abram was an old man now, he was 75 years old. He left the city of Haran and went to a different country called Canaan, because Yahweh had told him to go there. And his nephew Lot went with him. Lot's father and Abram were brothers.
304	GEN 12:5	Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot, and all the men and women who lived with him and worked for him. They took all the things and all the money that they had got in Haran, and they set off. They went on and on until they arrived in the land of Canaan.
320	GEN 13:1	Abram and his family went back from Egypt north to Canaan. Abram took his wife and family, his servants and everything they owned. Lot went with them too.
321	GEN 13:2	Abram was a very rich man. He had many sheep, goats and cattle and lots of silver and gold. Lot was also a rich man. He too had many sheep, goats and cattle. And he took all of them and his family and his servants with him. So they went from place to place. They went towards Bethel until they reached a place between Bethel and Ai. They camped there, in the same place where they had camped a long time ago, and where Abram had made the altar. And then Abram worshipped Yahweh there.
325	GEN 13:6	Other people who owned that country were still living there. They were the Canaanite people and the Perizzite people. Abram and his family stayed there. But after a while there was not enough grass and land for both Abram and Lot, because there were so many sheep and cattle and other animals. So Abram's men who looked after the sheep and cattle and Lot's men argued over water and grass for the animals.
327	GEN 13:8	Then Abram said to Lot, “We come from one family. Your men and my men shouldn't be arguing, they shouldn't hate each other.
329	GEN 13:10	So Lot looked round and saw a big river valley called the Jordan, and it was very good land. The river went all the way to a place called Zoar. There was plenty of water and trees and other plants, just like the place that Yahweh made called Eden, and also like the land of Egypt. Lot wanted the land with the big Jordan valley for himself, so he went off to the east and the two men separated. Abram stayed in the land of Canaan, but Lot made his camp near the city of Sodom. The people of Sodom were wicked. They didn't obey Yahweh; they were always doing evil things. But Lot and his family stayed there, before Yahweh destroyed the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
333	GEN 13:14	After Lot had gone, Yahweh said to Abram, “From where you are standing, look around you,
348	GEN 14:11	Then the four kings of Elam, Goiim, Babylonia and Ellasar went to Sodom and Gomorrah with their men and took all the people and the food and everything else from both those places. Lot, Abram's nephew, was living in Sodom and so they took him too with all his things. Then they went away.
350	GEN 14:13	One man escaped from Chedorlaomer and the other kings, and he went to Abram, the Hebrew, because Abram was Lot's uncle. Abram was living near the special trees that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite. Mamre and his two brothers, Eshcol and Aner, were Abram's friends. So the man who had escaped found Abram and told him that his nephew Lot had been taken away.
351	GEN 14:14	When Abram knew that Chedorlaomer and the other kings had taken his nephew Lot, he called together all his fighting men, 318 of them. Then Abram and his men followed Chedorlaomer and the other kings and their men a long way until they reached a town called Dan.
353	GEN 14:16	Then they grabbed everything that Chedorlaomer and the others had taken from Sodom and Gomorrah. And Abram took his nephew Lot home with all his things. And he also brought back the women and other people Chedorlaomer and the others had taken from Sodom and Gomorrah.
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.
365	GEN 15:4	Then Abram heard Yahweh speaking to him again. He said, “Look! Eliezer won't take your things when you die. Truly you will have a son, and he will be the one who will have your things.”
366	GEN 15:5	Then Yahweh took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up to the sky and try and count the stars. Your descendants will increase until they are as many as those stars.”
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!”
400	GEN 17:2	Let us make a covenant together. I am making this covenant with you so that it will last forever. I will give you many descendants.”
429	GEN 18:4	Let me bring some water for you to wash your feet. This is a good shady tree. Come and sit here to rest for a little while.
452	GEN 18:27	Then Abraham spoke again. He said, “I am bold speaking to you, Lord, but please let me say a few more words. I am only an ordinary man. I am not good enough to speak to you.
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.”
459	GEN 19:1	The two angels went down the hill and on to Sodom. They went on walking and arrived when the sun went down. Lot was sitting at the gate. When he saw the two men coming he got up and went to meet them. He bowed down because people in that place did that in those days when strangers arrived in their city.
461	GEN 19:3	But Lot kept on asking them and at last they agreed and went with him to his house. Lot told his servants to cook dampers and get other food ready for the two men. When the dampers were cooked they ate their meal.
462	GEN 19:4	Before they went to bed, all the men of Sodom came to Lot's house. They surrounded his house, both young and old.
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.
464	GEN 19:6	Lot went outside and shut the door.
466	GEN 19:8	Look, I have two daughters. They have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you. You can do whatever you want with them, but you can't have these two men. They are in my house and I am looking after them.”
467	GEN 19:9	But the men said to him, “Get out of our way! You are a stranger, you can't tell us what to do! Get out of our way, or we will do worse to you!” Then they grabbed Lot and pushed him towards the house. They moved near to break the door.
468	GEN 19:10	But the two men inside reached out their hands and grabbed Lot and pulled him back into the house and shut the door.
470	GEN 19:12	Then the two men said to Lot, “Yahweh has heard that these people are very bad, and he has sent us here to destroy this city. So if you have any of your family here, get them and take them out of the city, because we really are going to destroy it.”
472	GEN 19:14	Then Lot went to the two men who were going to marry his daughters, and said, “Hurry up and get out of here, because Yahweh is going to destroy this place.” But they thought Lot was joking and they didn't take any notice.
473	GEN 19:15	At dawn the angels told Lot to hurry. “Quick,” they said, “take your wife and your two daughters and get out, so that you won't die when we destroy the city.”
474	GEN 19:16	Lot didn't hurry, but Yahweh had pity on him. So the men took him, his wife and his two daughters by the hand and brought them out of Sodom.
476	GEN 19:18	But Lot said, “No! The hills are too far away. We will never reach them. You have had pity on me, you have been kind to me and saved me. But I can't go all the way to those hills, they are too far away and I will die on the way.
478	GEN 19:20	Look! See that little town over there. It is not so far. Let me go there. You can see it is just a little place. If I go there I will be safe.”
480	GEN 19:22	Run quickly. I won't destroy the city until you get there.” Then people called the town Zoar, because the name Zoar means “little” and Lot said, “It is a little place.”
481	GEN 19:23	Lot and his few relatives hurried to Zoar. The sun was rising when they reached it.
484	GEN 19:26	But Lot's wife looked back and died. The salty fire covered her and made her like a rock.
487	GEN 19:29	God destroyed Sodom where Lot had been living and also Gomorrah. But he remembered Abraham and let Lot escape to Zoar so he would be safe.
488	GEN 19:30	Lot was afraid and he didn't want to stay in Zoar. So he took his two daughters away to the hills and they lived there together in a cave.
493	GEN 19:35	That night they gave him wine again until he was drunk, and Lot's younger daughter slept with him too. But again, because he was drunk he didn't remember about it.
494	GEN 19:36	In this way Lot made both of his daughters pregnant.
495	GEN 19:37	Later on the older daughter had a son and she called him Moab, because Moab means “from my father.” The younger one also had a son and she called him Benammi, because Benammi means “son of my people.” When they grew up Moab became the ancestor of the Moabite people and Benammi became the ancestor of the Ammonite people.
497	GEN 20:1	Abraham and his people left Mamre and went towards the south. They lived between two places in Canaan, a town called Kadesh and the desert called Shur. Later they left Canaan and went north to Philistia, and stopped in a place called Gerar.
532	GEN 21:18	Get up, go and take him by the hand and pick him up. Comfort him and stop him crying. Later when he grows up I will give him many children and many descendants and they will become a great nation.”
564	GEN 22:16	“Listen to these words of Yahweh,” he said. “Yahweh said, ‘I am making a promise, and I am using my own name so that my promise will be strong and I won't change it. I will bless you because you didn't try to keep your only son for yourself. I am making this promise and it won't change.
578	GEN 23:6	“Listen to us. We look on you as a great leader. So go and look at our land. And if you see a good place, you can bury your wife there. None of us will refuse to give you our land. Don't worry, you can bury your wife anywhere.”
582	GEN 23:10	Ephron himself was sitting there with the Hittite people. He said, “Listen to me. I will give that whole field of mine to you, and also the cave. I will give it to you today, in front of my people, so that you can put your wife in it.” And all the people there heard him.
599	GEN 24:7	Long ago Yahweh brought me here from my father's home and from my family. Yahweh is the God who made the heavens, and he made a promise to me. He said to me, ‘I will give this country to you and to your descendants.’ He will send his angel ahead of you, to help you get a wife there for my son.
605	GEN 24:13	Look! Here I am standing at the well. Soon the young women of the city will come here for water.
621	GEN 24:29	Her brother Laban saw the nose-ring and the bangles and he heard what she told her mother. He ran outside and went to the well where the servant was waiting. He was still standing near the well with his camels.
623	GEN 24:31	Laban said, “Come home with me. Yahweh is pleased with you. Don't stay here. I have room for you and your men in my house and a place for the camels too.”
624	GEN 24:32	So Laban and Abraham's servant and his men went to Laban's house. Laban unloaded the camels and gave them grass to eat. Then he brought water for Abraham's servant and his men to wash their feet.
625	GEN 24:33	His own servants cooked food and brought it to them. Abraham's servant said to Laban, “We won't eat yet. I want to speak first.” Laban said, “Then speak.”
626	GEN 24:34	Then Abraham's servant told Laban and Bethuel about his master. He said, “I am Abraham's servant.
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?
642	GEN 24:50	Then Laban and Bethuel said to him, “Yahweh himself has done everything you have told us today, so we can't decide, we can't refuse your master.
646	GEN 24:54	Then Abraham's servant and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night in Bethuel's house. Then the next morning Abraham's servant got up and said to Rebecca's family, “Let me go back to my master now.”
647	GEN 24:55	But Rebecca's mother and her brother said, “Let her stay a bit longer, a week or ten days, and then we will let her go.”
649	GEN 24:57	They said, “Let us call her and see what she says.”
662	GEN 25:3	Keturah's son Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's descendants became so many that there were three groups. They were called the Asshurim, the Letushim and the Leummim people.
