238 | GEN 10:3 | And these were the sons of Gomer, the eldest son. Their names were Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. |
239 | GEN 10:4 | And these were the sons of his younger brother, Javan. Their names were Elishah, Spain, Cyprus and Rhodes. |
242 | GEN 10:7 | These were the sons of the eldest, Cush. Their names were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. And Raamah's two sons were called Sheba and Dedan. |
246 | GEN 10:11 | Then he went from Babylonia to Assyria and there his workers built many houses. They went on and on building until there were four cities called Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah |
247 | GEN 10:12 | and Resen. Resen was between Nineveh and the big city Calah. |
285 | GEN 11:18 | When Peleg was 30 years old, he had a son called Reu. |
287 | GEN 11:20 | When Reu was 32 years old, he had a son called Serug. |
338 | GEN 14:1 | There was a man called Chedorlaomer who was a powerful king in his own city called Elam. He became ruler over five other kings, Bera, Birsha, Shinah, Shemeber and the king of the city called Bela. That city had two names, Bela and Zoar. Bera was the king of Sodom, Birsha was the king of Gomorrah, Shinah was the king of Admah and Shemeber was the king of Zeboiim. Chedorlaomer had been ruler over the other five kings for a long time. He had ruled over them and all their people for twelve years. The next year the five kings decided that they wouldn't obey him any longer. The next year Chedorlaomer took his soldiers to a place called Ashteroth Karnaim, and three other kings took their soldiers there to help him. Their names were Amraphel, Arioch and Tidal. Amraphel was the king of Babylonia, Arioch was the king of Ellasar and Tidal was the king of Goiim. Those four kings had a lot of soldiers and they helped each other. They fought against the people called Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim. Then they went to Ham and fought against the people called Zuzim. Then they went to a flat place called Kiriathaim and fought against the people called Emim. They killed many of the Rephaim and the Zuzim and the Emim. From there they went to the hill country of Edom and fought against the Horite people. They killed many of the people and ran after some of them, driving them away until they reached Elparan on the edge of the desert. From there they turned around and came back to a place called Kadesh. At that time it was called Enmishpat, but today it is called Kadesh. They kept on fighting people and they took all the country that belonged to the Amalekites. Then they fought the Amorite people who lived in Hazazon Tamar and they killed many of them. Then the five kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela got their soldiers together in a flat place called Siddim to fight the four kings of Elam, Goiim, Babylonia and Ellasar. At that time there was no sea there, but today there is a sea there called the Dead Sea. |
379 | GEN 15:18 | Right at that time Yahweh made a covenant with Abram. Yahweh said to him, “These are my words and I won't change them. Truly I will give this whole land to your descendants. It goes from Egypt right over there to the big Euphrates River. |
381 | GEN 15:20 | some to the Hittite people, some to the Perizzite people and some to the Rephaim people. |
475 | GEN 19:17 | Then one of the angels said, “You must be quick! Run and don't look back. Don't stop in the valley. Keep on running to the hills over there so that you don't die.” |
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.” |
568 | GEN 22:20 | Some time later Abraham heard about Nahor, his younger brother. Nahor lived in the country where Abraham had lived before he went to Canaan. His wife's name was Milcah. Nahor and Milcah had eight sons. The first was called Uz, and his younger brothers were Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash and Jidlaph and the youngest son was Bethuel. And Bethuel had a daughter called Rebecca. |
572 | GEN 22:24 | One of Nahor's servants was also his wife, and her name was Reumah. Nahor's and Reumah's sons were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maacah. |
607 | GEN 24:15 | While he was still praying a young girl called Rebecca arrived. She was carrying a water-jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel's father was Nahor, Abraham's younger brother, but his mother was Milcah. |
637 | GEN 24:45 | “I was praying quietly, and while I was still praying Rebecca came with a water-jar on her shoulder. She went down to the well for water and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ |
643 | GEN 24:51 | Here is Rebecca. Take her and go, so that your master's son can have her, because Yahweh himself has decided.” |
645 | GEN 24:53 | Then he brought clothes and jewellery made of silver and gold and other precious things and gave them to Rebecca. And he gave expensive presents to her brother and her mother. |
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.” |
650 | GEN 24:58 | So they called Rebecca and asked, “Do you want to go with this man?” “Yes,” she answered. |
651 | GEN 24:59 | So they let Rebecca go with Abraham's servant and his men. And they sent an old woman, Rebecca's servant, too. |
652 | GEN 24:60 | And they blessed Rebecca before she left. They said, “You will be the ancestor of many, many people. May your descendants be strong. When they fight other people, they will rule over them.” |
653 | GEN 24:61 | Then Rebecca and her young women servants and the old woman collected their things and got on the camels. Then they set off with Abraham's servants. |
656 | GEN 24:64 | When Rebecca saw Isaac, she got down from her camel |
659 | GEN 24:67 | Isaac took Rebecca into his tent. It had belonged to his mother Sarah. Then Rebecca became his wife and Isaac loved her and she comforted him after his mother's death. |
679 | GEN 25:20 | Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebecca. Rebecca was the daughter of Bethuel who was an Aramean from Mesopotamia. And Rebecca's brother was Laban. |
680 | GEN 25:21 | Rebecca had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh for her to have children. Yahweh heard his prayer and Rebecca became pregnant. |
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. |
687 | GEN 25:28 | Isaac loved Esau more, because he liked eating the animals he killed, but Rebecca loved Jacob. |
700 | GEN 26:7 | Some men there asked Isaac about his wife Rebecca and he said, “She is my sister.” He did not want to call her his wife, because he was afraid that the men there would kill him to get Rebecca. She was very beautiful and that is why they wanted her. |
701 | GEN 26:8 | Later on King Abimelech was looking out of his house and he saw Isaac and Rebecca, and they looked like a man with his wife. |
728 | GEN 26:35 | But they made Isaac and Rebecca miserable. |
733 | GEN 27:5 | Rebecca heard what Isaac said to Esau. So when Esau went out to hunt, |
736 | GEN 27:8 | Look, my son,” Rebecca continued, “listen carefully and do everything I tell you. |
770 | GEN 27:42 | Rebecca heard what Esau said and called Jacob to her and said, “Look, my son. Your brother wants to pay you back and kill you because of what you have done. |
779 | GEN 28:5 | Then Isaac sent Jacob away to Mesopotamia, to Laban. Laban was the son of Bethuel the Aramean, and he was also Rebecca's brother. And Rebecca was the mother of Jacob and Esau. |
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.” |
805 | GEN 29:9 | While Jacob was still talking to them, Rachel arrived with her father's sheep. |
806 | GEN 29:10 | When Jacob saw Rachel and his uncle's sheep, he went to the well, moved the stone and gave the sheep water to drink. |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then he kissed Rachel and began to cry because he was so happy. |
808 | GEN 29:12 | He said to her, “I am your father's nephew. My mother is Rebecca.” Then Rachel ran home and told her father. |
812 | GEN 29:16 | Laban had two daughters. The name of the older one was Leah and the name of the younger one was Rachel. |
813 | GEN 29:17 | Leah had lovely eyes, but Rachel had a good figure and was beautiful. |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob loved Rachel and wanted to marry her. So he said to Laban, “I will work for you for seven years, and then you can give me Rachel for my wife.” |
816 | GEN 29:20 | So Jacob stayed there and worked for Laban. A long time passed. He stayed there working for Laban for seven years so that he could have Rachel for his wife. He kept on working, but it seemed to him a short time, because he wanted Rachel so much. |
819 | GEN 29:23 | But that night Laban took his older daughter Leah to Jacob, and not Rachel. So Jacob and Leah slept together. |
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!” |
822 | GEN 29:26 | Laban answered, “I can't give you Rachel yet, I have to give you the older one, Leah, first, because we always do that in our country. |
823 | GEN 29:27 | Just wait, and stay with Leah for seven days, while all the people are here with us. Then if you will work for me for another seven years, I will give you Rachel.” |
824 | GEN 29:28 | Jacob agreed and he stayed with Leah for seven days. Then afterwards Laban gave Rachel to Jacob for his wife. |
825 | GEN 29:29 | He also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to work for her. |
826 | GEN 29:30 | Then Jacob and Rachel slept together, and he loved her more than Leah. Then he worked for Laban another seven years. |
827 | GEN 29:31 | Yahweh saw that Jacob loved Rachel more, so he gave Leah children and not Rachel. She was unable to have children, |
828 | GEN 29:32 | but Leah became pregnant and she had a son. She said, “Yahweh has seen my sadness, and now my husband will love me.” So Leah named him Reuben, because Reuben means “look, a son.” |
832 | GEN 30:1 | Rachel was still unable to have any children, and so she became jealous of her sister Leah. She said to Jacob, “If you don't give me any children I will die.” |
834 | GEN 30:3 | Rachel said, “Here is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her so that she can have a child for me. Then I can have sons and grandsons.” |
837 | GEN 30:6 | And Rachel said, “God has judged us and he is pleased with me. He has heard and answered me and given me a son.” So she named him Dan, because Dan means “he has judged.” |
839 | GEN 30:8 | And Rachel said, “I have been against my older sister, but I have been stronger.” So she called him Naphtali, because Naphtali means “we have been against each other.” |
845 | GEN 30:14 | At the time when the people were gathering the wheat that they had grown, Reuben found some fruit called mandrakes where they were working. He picked some and took them home to his mother Leah. But Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son has found.” |
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. |
847 | GEN 30:16 | The sun was setting when Jacob returned from where the wheat was growing and Leah went to meet him. She said to him, “We are going to sleep together tonight. I have given some mandrakes to Rachel today. So I have bought you with mandrakes.” So that night Leah and Jacob slept together. |
853 | GEN 30:22 | But God didn't forget Rachel. He remembered her and her prayer and he gave her children. |
878 | GEN 31:4 | So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah and they came and met him where his sheep and goats were. |
888 | GEN 31:14 | Rachel and Leah answered Jacob, “When our father dies, there will be nothing here for us. |
893 | GEN 31:19 | Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and while he was away Rachel stole her father's carved gods. |
895 | GEN 31:21 | He took everything he owned and he and his family left in a hurry. They crossed the Euphrates River and went towards the hill country of Gilead. |
906 | GEN 31:32 | But if you find your gods with any of us here that person will die. Look around for anything of yours and take it, so that our relatives can watch you.” But Jacob didn't know that his wife Rachel had stolen Laban's gods. |
907 | GEN 31:33 | Laban went to Jacob's tent and searched there first, then in Leah's and then in Bilhah's and Zilpah's tent, but he couldn't find his gods. Then he went to Rachel's tent. |
908 | GEN 31:34 | Before this Rachel had taken them and put them in a camel's bag and she was sitting on top of the bag inside her tent. Laban searched there but he didn't find them. |
909 | GEN 31:35 | Rachel said to her father, “Don't be angry with me, because I can't stand up. I am having my monthly period.” Laban looked everywhere but he couldn't find his gods. |
939 | GEN 32:11 | You didn't leave me all the time I was in Mesopotamia, you were kind to me. But I didn't do anything good for you. When I crossed the Jordan River the first time, I had nothing except a walking stick, but you have given me many good things. So today I have these two groups of people and two groups of animals. |
951 | GEN 32:23 | That same night Jacob got up and sent off his two wives, Rachel and Leah, and they crossed the Jabbok River. He sent off the two women, Bilhah and Zilpah, the servants who were also his wives, and they crossed over with all his children. And he also sent all his belongings on ahead, |
960 | GEN 32:32 | As the sun was coming up, Jacob left there and crossed the Jabbok River. But he was limping now, because his hip was aching. |
962 | GEN 33:1 | On that same day Jacob saw Esau coming to him and the 400 men with him. Then Jacob told Bilhah and Zilpah, to get their children together and stand in front. Then he told Leah to get her children together and stand in the middle. And he told Rachel and her son, Joseph, to stand behind the others. |
968 | GEN 33:7 | Then Leah and her children came and bowed down, and last of all Joseph and Rachel came and bowed down to Esau. |
1020 | GEN 35:8 | Rebecca's servant Deborah died and they took her body south to a big tree and buried her under it. The tree was near Bethel and they called it “the tree where they wept.” |
1028 | GEN 35:16 | Then Jacob and his family left Bethel to go south to a place called Ephrath. But before they reached Ephrath Rachel was ready to have her baby, so they stopped on the way. Rachel was in great pain. |
1029 | GEN 35:17 | A servant woman was helping her, but Rachel was in a lot of pain. The woman said to her, “Don't be afraid, it is another boy.” |
1030 | GEN 35:18 | But Rachel was dying. As she breathed her last breath she named him Benoni, because Benoni means “son of my sorrow.” But Jacob named him Benjamin, because Benjamin means “good will come to my son.” |
1031 | GEN 35:19 | After Rachel died they buried her beside the road that goes to Ephrath. They used to call it Ephrath but they changed the name and now it is called Bethlehem. |
1034 | GEN 35:22 | While Jacob and his family were living there, Jacob's son Reuben took Bilhah, his father's servant woman. His father heard about it and he was very angry. Jacob had twelve sons. |
1035 | GEN 35:23 | Leah's sons were Reuben (Jacob's eldest son), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. |
1036 | GEN 35:24 | Rachel's sons were Joseph and Benjamin. |
1037 | GEN 35:25 | The sons of Rachel's servant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali. |
1045 | GEN 36:4 | Adah and Esau had one son Eliphaz. Basemath and Esau had one son Reuel. |
1051 | GEN 36:10 | His five sons were called Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Reuel the son of Basemath, and Jeush, Jalam and Korah, the three sons of Oholibamah. Oholibamah's father was Anah and her grandfather was Zibeon. The six sons of Eliphaz were called Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz and Amalek. Amalek's mother was a woman called Timna. The four sons of Reuel were called Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. |
1058 | GEN 36:17 | Esau's son Reuel was the father of the leaders called Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. Their grandmother was Esau's wife Basemath. |
1078 | GEN 36:37 | After he died, Shaul ruled. He came from Rehoboth on the river. |
1105 | GEN 37:21 | But the oldest brother, Reuben, heard them and wanted Joseph to live. He said to the others, “We shouldn't kill him |
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?” |
1197 | GEN 41:1 | After two years had passed, the king had a dream. In his dream he was standing beside a big river in his country, called the Nile River, |
1213 | GEN 41:17 | The king said, “In my dream I was standing beside the Nile River. |
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. |
1275 | GEN 42:22 | Reuben said to his brothers, “I told you we shouldn't hurt him, but you wouldn't listen to me. That is why we are in trouble now.” |
1290 | GEN 42:37 | Reuben said to his father, “I will look after Benjamin. If I don't bring him back to you, you can kill my two sons. But I really will bring him back.” |
