57 | GEN 3:1 | The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?” |
65 | GEN 3:9 | The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied. |
86 | GEN 4:6 | The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed? |
89 | GEN 4:9 | “Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?” |
90 | GEN 4:10 | “What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground. |
317 | GEN 12:18 | So Pharaoh ordered Abram brought to him and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? |
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!” |
328 | GEN 13:9 | You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to the left.” |
363 | GEN 15:2 | But Abram replied, “Lord God, what good is whatever you give me? I don't have any children, and the heir to all that I have is Eliezer of Damascus.” |
369 | GEN 15:8 | “But Lord God, how can I be certain that I will own it?” Abram asked. |
390 | GEN 16:8 | He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied. |
415 | GEN 17:17 | Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “Over there, inside the tent,” he replied. |
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!” |
438 | GEN 18:13 | The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and ask, ‘How could it possibly be true that I'll have a child now I'm so old?’ |
439 | GEN 18:14 | Is anything too difficult for the Lord to do? I will come back next year when I said I would, in the spring, and Sarah will have a son.” |
442 | GEN 18:17 | Then the Lord said, “Should I keep from Abraham what I'm going to do? |
448 | GEN 18:23 | Abraham came to him and asked: “Are you really going to wipe out the good people along with the wicked? |
449 | GEN 18:24 | What if there are fifty good people in the town? Are you still going to wipe it out despite the fifty good people there? |
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?” |
453 | GEN 18:28 | “What if there are forty-five good people, just five less? Are you still going to wipe out the whole town just because there are five fewer people?” “I won't destroy it if I find forty-five,” the Lord replied. |
454 | GEN 18:29 | Abraham spoke up again and he asked the Lord, “What if only forty can be found?” “I won't do it for the sake of the forty,” the Lord replied. |
455 | GEN 18:30 | “My Lord, please don't get angry with me,” Abraham went on. “Let me ask this—what if only thirty were found?” “I won't do it if I find thirty,” the Lord replied. |
456 | GEN 18:31 | “I admit I've been very bold to speak to my Lord like this,” Abraham said. “What if only twenty are found there?” “I won't do it for the sake of the twenty,” the Lord replied. |
457 | GEN 18:32 | “Please don't get angry with me, my Lord,” Abraham said. “Just let me ask one more thing. What if only ten are found there?” “I won't destroy it for the sake of the ten,” the Lord replied. |
463 | GEN 19:5 | They shouted out to Lot, “Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out here to us so we can have sex with them.” |
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. |
470 | GEN 19:12 | The two men asked Lot, “Is there anyone else here who's part of your family—sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or anyone else in the town? If there are, make sure they leave, |
500 | GEN 20:4 | Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people? |
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!” |
506 | GEN 20:10 | Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?” |
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!” |
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. |
543 | GEN 21:29 | “What are these seven female lambs for that you've separated from the flock?” Abimelech asked. |
555 | GEN 22:7 | Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked. |
587 | GEN 23:15 | “My lord, please listen to me. The land is worth four hundred pieces of silver. But what's that between us? Go and bury your dead.” |
597 | GEN 24:5 | “What if the woman refuses to come back with me to this country?” the servant asked. “Should I take your son back to the country you came from?” |
615 | GEN 24:23 | Then he asked her, “Whose daughter are you? Also could you tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?” |
623 | GEN 24:31 | “Please come home with me, you who are blessed by the Lord,” said Laban. “What are you standing out here for? I've got a room at home ready for you, and a place for the camels to stay.” |
631 | GEN 24:39 | I said to my master, ‘What if the woman refuses to come back with me?’ |
639 | GEN 24:47 | I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.’ So I put the ring in her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists. |
641 | GEN 24:49 | So please tell me now, will you show commitment and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no so I can decide what to do next.” |
650 | GEN 24:58 | They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied. |
657 | GEN 24:65 | She asked the servant, “Who is this walking through the fields to meet us?” “He's my master, Isaac,” he replied. So she put on her veil to cover herself. |
681 | GEN 25:22 | The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?” |
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!” |
720 | GEN 26:27 | “Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!” |
730 | GEN 27:2 | “I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows? |
746 | GEN 27:18 | He went in to see his father, and called out, “My father, I'm here.” “Which son are you?” Isaac asked. |
748 | GEN 27:20 | “How did you find an animal so fast, my son?” Isaac asked. “Because the Lord your God sent it my way,” Jacob replied. |
752 | GEN 27:24 | “It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied. |
760 | GEN 27:32 | “Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied. |
761 | GEN 27:33 | Isaac started to shake all over and asked, “So who was it who went hunting game and then brought it to me? I ate it all before you came back and I blessed him. His blessing will remain.” |
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?” |
765 | GEN 27:37 | Isaac replied to Esau. “I have made him ruler over you, and have said that all his relatives will be his servants. I have declared that he will be well supplied with grain and new wine. So what is left that I can do for you, my son?” |
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. |
773 | GEN 27:45 | Once he's cooled down and forgets what you did to him, I'll send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?” |
800 | GEN 29:4 | Jacob asked them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We're from Haran,” they replied. |
801 | GEN 29:5 | “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied. |
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.” |
803 | GEN 29:7 | “Look, there's still plenty of daylight left,” said Jacob. “It's too early to round up the sheep yet. Why not let them drink so they can go back to grazing?” |
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?” |
833 | GEN 30:2 | Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?” |
846 | GEN 30:15 | “Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded. |
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?” |
862 | GEN 30:31 | “Well, what do you propose I give you?” Laban asked again. “You don't have to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you want to do something for me, then how about this: I'll go on looking after your flocks, making sure they're fed. |
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! |
901 | GEN 31:27 | Why did you run away in secret, trying to trick me? Why didn't you come and tell me? I would have given you a good send-off, a celebration with singing and the music of tambourines and lyres. |
904 | GEN 31:30 | Clearly you wanted to leave and go back to your family home, but why did you have to steal my idols?” |
910 | GEN 31:36 | Jacob got angry with Laban and confronted him, saying, “What crime am I guilty of? What wrong have I done to you that you've come hunting me down? |
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! |
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? |
946 | GEN 32:18 | He gave these instructions to those with the first herd: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who is your master, and where are you going, and whose are these animals with you?’ |
956 | GEN 32:28 | “What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied. |
958 | GEN 32:30 | “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there. |
966 | GEN 33:5 | Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied. |
969 | GEN 33:8 | “What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered. |
1004 | GEN 34:23 | If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among us.” |
1012 | GEN 34:31 | But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?” |
1092 | GEN 37:8 | “Do you really think you're going to be our king?” they asked. “Do you honestly believe you're going to rule over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and how he described it. |
1094 | GEN 37:10 | He also told his father as well as his brothers, and his father told him off, saying, “What's this dream that you've had? Are we—I and your mother and brothers—really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?” |
1099 | GEN 37:15 | and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he asked him, “What are you looking for?” |
1100 | GEN 37:16 | “I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?” |
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! |
1111 | GEN 37:27 | Instead, why don't we sell him to these Ishmaelites? We don't have to kill him. After all he's our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed. |
1114 | GEN 37:30 | He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?” |
1136 | GEN 38:16 | He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “I want to sleep with you.” He didn't know she was his daughter-in-law. “What will you give me if I let you sleep with me?” she asked. |
1137 | GEN 38:17 | “I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied. “What guarantee will you give me to make sure you'll send it?” she asked. |
1138 | GEN 38:18 | “What guarantee do I have to give you?” he asked. “Your signet seal and its cord, and your walking stick that you're holding,” she replied. He handed them over to her. He slept with her and she became pregnant. |
1141 | GEN 38:21 | Hirah asked the men there, “Where's the cult prostitute that sits by the entrance road to Enaim?” “There's no cult prostitute here,” they answered. |
1145 | GEN 38:25 | As she was brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “I'm pregnant by the man who owns these things.” Then she added, “Please look carefully at this signet seal and its cord and walking stick. Who do they belong to?” |
1149 | GEN 38:29 | But then he pulled back his hand and his brother was born, she said, “How did you burst out?” So he was named Perez. |
1159 | GEN 39:9 | no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?” |
1180 | GEN 40:7 | So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?” |
