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!”
507	GEN 20:11	“Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.
509	GEN 20:13	Since my God made me move far away from my family home, I told her, ‘If you really love me, then wherever you go with me you must tell people: He's my brother.’”

606	GEN 24:14	May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac.

1286	GEN 42:33	Then the man who is the country's governor said to us, ‘This is how I'll find out if you're telling the truth: you are to leave one of your brothers here with me while the rest take grain home for your hungry families.
1294	GEN 43:3	But Judah responded, “The man was adamant when he warned us, ‘I won't even see you unless your brother is with you.’
1296	GEN 43:5	But if you won't send him, then we won't go, because the man was very clear, ‘I won't even see you unless your brother is with you.’”
1298	GEN 43:7	“The man kept on asking direct questions about us and our family like ‘Is your father still alive?’ and ‘Do you have another brother?’” they replied. “We just answered his questions. How were we to know he'd say, ‘Bring your brother here!’?”

1350	GEN 44:25	However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’
1351	GEN 44:26	But we said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’
1352	GEN 44:27	Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
1357	GEN 44:32	In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’

1421	GEN 46:34	tell him, ‘Your servants have looked after livestock since we were children, both us and our fathers before us.’ That way you'll be able to live here in Goshen, because Egyptians look down on shepherds.”
1456	GEN 48:4	He told me, ‘Listen! I will make you prosperous and make your descendants so numerous that you will become the ancestor of many nations, and I will give this land to your descendants to own forever.’
