3	GEN 1:3	God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
54	GEN 2:23	“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
78	GEN 3:22	Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
94	GEN 4:14	“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
143	GEN 6:5	The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
207	GEN 9:1	God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
213	GEN 9:7	Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
231	GEN 9:25	and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
273	GEN 11:6	The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it!
311	GEN 12:12	When the Egyptians see you, they'll say, ‘She's his wife,’ and they'll kill me but not you!
318	GEN 12:19	Why did you say, ‘She's my sister,’ and let me take her to become one of my wives? So here's your wife! Take her and leave!”
335	GEN 13:16	You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!
360	GEN 14:23	that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
362	GEN 15:1	After all this had happened, God spoke to Abram in a vision, telling him, “Don't be afraid, Abram! I am your protector, and your truly great reward!”
364	GEN 15:3	Abram went on to complain, “Look! You haven't given me any children, so a servant from my household has to be my heir!”
366	GEN 15:5	The Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky. See if you can count the stars! That's how many descendants you will have!”
387	GEN 16:5	Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!”
388	GEN 16:6	“Listen, she's your slave!” Abram replied. “You can do whatever you want to her.” Sarai treated Hagar so badly that she ran away.
393	GEN 16:11	The angel of the Lord went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.
402	GEN 17:4	“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,
416	GEN 17:18	Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”
417	GEN 17:19	“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.
431	GEN 18:6	Abraham hurried back to the tent and told Sarah, “Quick! Make some bread using three large measures of the best flour. Knead the dough and bake the bread.”
437	GEN 18:12	Sarah was laughing inside, saying to herself, “Now that I'm old and worn out, how would I experience pleasure? My husband is old too!”
450	GEN 18:25	No, you can't do something like that! You can't kill the good with the wicked, otherwise you would be treating the good and the wicked in the same way. You can't do that! Isn't the Judge of all the earth going to do the right thing?”
465	GEN 19:7	“My friends, please don't do such an evil thing!
467	GEN 19:9	“Out of our way!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are, coming to live here and now trying to judge us? We'll do even worse things to you than we were going to do to these men!” They rushed forward at Lot and tried to break down the door.
472	GEN 19:14	Lot went immediately to speak to the men who were engaged to marry his daughters. “Get up quickly and leave,” he said, “because the Lord is about to destroy the town!” But they thought it was just a joke.
473	GEN 19:15	At dawn, the angels begged Lot to be quick, telling him, “Hurry up! Leave right now with your wife and your two daughters here, otherwise you'll be wiped out when the city is punished.”
475	GEN 19:17	As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!”
476	GEN 19:18	“Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
477	GEN 19:19	“If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die!
499	GEN 20:3	But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “Listen! You're going to die because the woman you've taken is already married—she has a husband.”
501	GEN 20:5	Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!”
505	GEN 20:9	Then Abimelech summoned Abraham and asked him “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you should treat me like this, bringing this terrible sin on me and my kingdom? You've done things to me that no one should ever do!”
521	GEN 21:7	She also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
524	GEN 21:10	So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!”
530	GEN 21:16	She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
531	GEN 21:17	God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where he is.
549	GEN 22:1	Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied.
559	GEN 22:11	But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
560	GEN 22:12	The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
619	GEN 24:27	“Thank you Lord, the God of my master Abraham,” he prayed. “You have not forgotten your commitment and faithfulness to my master. And Lord, you have led me directly to the home of my master's relatives!”
689	GEN 25:30	“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
691	GEN 25:32	“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
702	GEN 26:9	Abimelech sent for Isaac and complained. “From what I saw she's clearly your wife!” he said. “Why on earth did you say, ‘She's my sister’?” “Because I thought I'd be killed because of her,” Isaac replied.
703	GEN 26:10	“Why would you do this to us?” Abimelech asked. “One of the men here might have slept with your wife, and you would have made us all guilty!”
713	GEN 26:20	But the herdsmen from Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, claiming, “That's our water!” So Isaac named the well, “Argument,” because they argued with him.
720	GEN 26:27	“Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!”
722	GEN 26:29	You'll promise not to harm us in the same way we've never hurt you. You'll agree that we've always treated you well, and when we asked you to leave we did so kindly. Now look at how the Lord is blessing you!”
725	GEN 26:32	It was that very day when Isaac's servants who'd been digging a well came and told him, “We've found water!”
734	GEN 27:6	Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother,
756	GEN 27:28	“May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine!
762	GEN 27:34	When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!”
763	GEN 27:35	But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
764	GEN 27:36	“Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?”
766	GEN 27:38	“Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
767	GEN 27:39	Then his father Isaac declared, “Listen! You will live far away from fertile land, far from the dew of heaven that falls from above.
769	GEN 27:41	From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father's blessing. Esau said to himself, “Soon the time will come when I'll mourn my father's death. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob!”
774	GEN 27:46	Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!”
789	GEN 28:15	Listen! I am with you and will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this country. I won't leave you because I'm going to do what I've promised you.”
790	GEN 28:16	When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”
791	GEN 28:17	He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”
802	GEN 29:6	“How is he?” he asked. “He's well,” they replied. “Look! In fact here's his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep right now.”
810	GEN 29:14	Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month.
811	GEN 29:15	One day Laban said to him, “You're my relative so you shouldn't be working for me for nothing! Tell me, what should I pay you?”
821	GEN 29:25	When morning came, he saw it was Leah! He went to Laban and asked angrily, “What have you done to me? It was for Rachel that I worked for you! Why have you deceived me?”
828	GEN 29:32	Leah became pregnant, and had a son she named Reuben, for she said, “The Lord saw how much I was suffering and now my husband will love me!”
831	GEN 29:35	Once again Leah became pregnant and had another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I can really praise the Lord!” After that she had no more children.
832	GEN 30:1	When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!”
837	GEN 30:6	Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan.
842	GEN 30:11	Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
844	GEN 30:13	Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” So she named him Asher.
861	GEN 30:30	You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?”
881	GEN 31:7	But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me.
885	GEN 31:11	Then in the dream the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I'm here.’
890	GEN 31:16	All the wealth that God has taken from him belongs to us and our children, so do whatever God has told you to do!”
900	GEN 31:26	“Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword!
902	GEN 31:28	You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly!
911	GEN 31:37	You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right!
915	GEN 31:41	I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced my wages ten times!
917	GEN 31:43	Laban replied, “These are my daughters and these are my children and these are my flocks! In fact, everything you see here is mine! However, what can I do now about my daughters and their children?
924	GEN 31:50	If you treat my daughters badly or marry more wives in addition to them, God will see what you do even if no one else finds out!”
931	GEN 32:3	When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
935	GEN 32:7	The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
938	GEN 32:10	Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’
940	GEN 32:12	Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
959	GEN 32:31	Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
970	GEN 33:9	“I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
971	GEN 33:10	“No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
995	GEN 34:14	They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on us.
1011	GEN 34:30	But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
1023	GEN 35:11	Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants.
1029	GEN 35:17	When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
1103	GEN 37:19	“Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
1104	GEN 37:20	“Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to his dreams!”
1110	GEN 37:26	“What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
1114	GEN 37:30	He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
1117	GEN 37:33	His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!”
1144	GEN 38:24	Then about three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has had sex like a prostitute and now as a result she's pregnant!” “Bring her out and burn her to death!” Judah ordered.
