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?’
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.’”
599	GEN 24:7	“The Lord, the God of heaven, took me from my family home and my own country. He spoke to me and swore an oath to me in which he promised, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ He is the one who will send his angel ahead of you so that you can find a wife there for my son.
606	GEN 24:14	May it happen like this.

637	GEN 24:45	“I hadn't even finished praying silently when I saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring to get water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’

947	GEN 32:19	you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following us.’”
949	GEN 32:21	You must also tell him, ‘Your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob said to himself, “Maybe by sending these gifts on ahead Esau won't be angry with me and when I meet him he'll be kind to me.”

1275	GEN 42:22	Reuben said to them, “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't harm the boy!’ But you didn't listen to me. Now we're paying the price for what we did to him.”
1285	GEN 42:32	We are twelve brothers, the sons of one father. One has passed away and the youngest is right now with our father in the country of Canaan.’
1287	GEN 42:34	Then bring your youngest brother to me. That way I'll know you're not spies but you're telling the truth. I'll release your brother to you, and you can stay in the country and trade.’”
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!’?”
1330	GEN 44:5	This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”

1346	GEN 44:21	Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’
1347	GEN 44:22	We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’
1348	GEN 44:23	But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’
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.’
1354	GEN 44:29	If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’
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!’
1370	GEN 45:11	I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”

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.’
1472	GEN 48:20	So Israel blessed them that day and said: “In the future the people of Israel will use your names to give a blessing, saying, ‘May God bless you like he did Ephraim and Manasseh.’” In saying this he placed Ephraim before Manasseh.
