3	GEN 1:3	God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
5	GEN 1:5	God called the light “day,” and he called the darkness “night.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day one.
6	GEN 1:6	God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters to divide the waters.”
8	GEN 1:8	God called the expanse, “sky.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day two.
9	GEN 1:9	God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
10	GEN 1:10	God called the land “earth” and the waters “seas.” God saw that it was good.
11	GEN 1:11	God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
15	GEN 1:15	They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened.
20	GEN 1:20	God said, “Let the waters be full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the sky.”
22	GEN 1:22	God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
24	GEN 1:24	God said, “Let the land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
26	GEN 1:26	God said, “Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on it.”
28	GEN 1:28	God blessed them and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the earth.”
30	GEN 1:30	I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened.
48	GEN 2:17	but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
49	GEN 2:18	Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
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.”
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?”
59	GEN 3:3	God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
60	GEN 3:4	“You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
61	GEN 3:5	“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
65	GEN 3:9	The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
66	GEN 3:10	“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
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?”
68	GEN 3:12	“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
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.
71	GEN 3:15	I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
72	GEN 3:16	He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
75	GEN 3:19	You will have to sweat to grow enough food to eat until you die and return to the ground. For you were made from dust and you will return to dust.”
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!”
81	GEN 4:1	Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
87	GEN 4:7	If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
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.
92	GEN 4:12	When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
93	GEN 4:13	“My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
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!”
95	GEN 4:15	But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
104	GEN 4:24	If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
105	GEN 4:25	Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
108	GEN 5:2	He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day he created them he called them “human.”
135	GEN 5:29	He named him Noah, with the explanation, “He will provide relief for us from all the hard manual labor we need to do in cultivating the ground the Lord has cursed.”
141	GEN 6:3	Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
145	GEN 6:7	So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
159	GEN 6:21	Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
164	GEN 7:4	In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
201	GEN 8:17	Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
206	GEN 8:22	As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
213	GEN 9:7	Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
217	GEN 9:11	In my agreement I'm promising you that I won't ever again destroy all life by means of a flood—there won't be a destructive flood like this again.”
222	GEN 9:16	I will see the rainbow in the clouds and it will remind me of the eternal agreement between God and every kind of living creature that lives on the earth.”
223	GEN 9:17	Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
231	GEN 9:25	and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
233	GEN 9:27	May God give Japtheth plenty of space to accommodate his many descendants, and may they live at peace among Shem's people, and may Canaan also be his slave.”
244	GEN 10:9	He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.”
270	GEN 11:3	They said to one another, “Come on, let's make some bricks and bake them with fire.” (They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of cement).
271	GEN 11:4	Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.”
274	GEN 11:7	We need to go down and mix up their language and make it confused so they won't be able to understand what they're saying to one other.”
302	GEN 12:3	I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. Everyone on earth will be blessed through you.”
306	GEN 12:7	The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him.
312	GEN 12:13	Tell them you're my sister so I'll be treated well because of you, and my life will be spared for your sake.”
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.”
336	GEN 13:17	Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
357	GEN 14:20	May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
358	GEN 14:21	The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
361	GEN 14:24	I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
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!”
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.”
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!”
365	GEN 15:4	But then the Lord told him, “This man won't be your heir. Your heir will be your very own son.”
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!”
368	GEN 15:7	The Lord also told him, “I am the Lord, who led you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land for you to own.”
369	GEN 15:8	“But Lord God, how can I be certain that I will own it?” Abram asked.
370	GEN 15:9	The Lord told him, “Bring me a cow, a goat, and a ram, all of them three years old, together with a dove and a young pigeon.”
377	GEN 15:16	Four generations later your descendants will come back here to live, because right now the sins of the Amorites have not reached their full extent.”
382	GEN 15:21	Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
384	GEN 16:2	so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.
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.
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.
391	GEN 16:9	“Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her.
392	GEN 16:10	Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”
394	GEN 16:12	He'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”
395	GEN 16:13	From then on Hagar called the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” because she said, “Here I saw the one who sees me.”
396	GEN 16:14	That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
400	GEN 17:2	I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”
406	GEN 17:8	I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
412	GEN 17:14	Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”
414	GEN 17:16	I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”
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?”
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.
419	GEN 17:21	But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”
430	GEN 18:5	Also let me bring some food so you can get your strength back before you go on your way, now that you've come to visit me here.” “That would be fine,” they answered. “Please do as you've suggested.”
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.”
434	GEN 18:9	“Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “Over there, inside the tent,” he replied.
435	GEN 18:10	Then one said, “I promise you that I will come back to visit you about this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was listening, hiding just inside the entrance to the tent behind him.
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!”
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.”
