16 | GEN 1:16 | God created two great lights: the larger one in charge of the day, and the smaller one in charge of the night. He created the stars too. |
27 | GEN 1:27 | So God created human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being. |
42 | GEN 2:11 | The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found. |
50 | GEN 2:19 | The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature. |
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?” |
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.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life. |
79 | GEN 3:23 | So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made. |
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?” |
100 | GEN 4:20 | Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock. |
101 | GEN 4:21 | He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah. |
108 | GEN 5:2 | He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day he created them he called them “human.” |
128 | GEN 5:22 | He had a close relationship with God. After Methuselah was born, Enoch lived another 300 years and had other sons and daughters. |
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.” |
138 | GEN 5:32 | Noah was 500 before he had Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
147 | GEN 6:9 | This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God. |
148 | GEN 6:10 | Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
173 | GEN 7:13 | That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark. |
193 | GEN 8:9 | But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him. |
194 | GEN 8:10 | He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again. |
224 | GEN 9:18 | Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.) |
227 | GEN 9:21 | He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked. |
228 | GEN 9:22 | Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside. |
231 | GEN 9:25 | and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!” |
236 | GEN 10:1 | The following are the genealogies of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had sons born to them after the flood. |
241 | GEN 10:6 | The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. |
242 | GEN 10:7 | The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
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.” |
245 | GEN 10:10 | His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, all located in the land of Shinar. |
250 | GEN 10:15 | Canaan was the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of the Hittites, |
252 | GEN 10:17 | the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, |
253 | GEN 10:18 | the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite tribes spread out |
255 | GEN 10:20 | These were the sons of Ham according to their tribes, languages, lands, and nation. |
258 | GEN 10:23 | The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. |
261 | GEN 10:26 | Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
262 | GEN 10:27 | Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, |
264 | GEN 10:29 | Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were all sons of Joktan. |
293 | GEN 11:26 | When Terah was 70, he had Abram, Nahor, and Haran. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | The following is the genealogy of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot. |
295 | GEN 11:28 | However, Haran died while his father, Terah, was still alive, in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Abram and Nahor both got married. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah. (She was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah). |
298 | GEN 11:31 | Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, (who was the son of Haran), his daughter-in-law Sarai, (the wife of his son Abram), and left Ur of the Chaldeans to move to the land of Canaan. They got as far as Haran and settled there. |
299 | GEN 11:32 | Terah lived for 205 years and died in Haran. |
303 | GEN 12:4 | So Abram left following the Lord's instructions, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran. |
304 | GEN 12:5 | With him went his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, together with all the possessions they had collected and the people that had joined them in Harran. They left for the land of Canaan. When they arrived there, |
307 | GEN 12:8 | Then he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up camp there. Bethel was to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar to the Lord there and worshiped him. |
322 | GEN 13:3 | He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai. |
323 | GEN 13:4 | This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously. |
337 | GEN 13:18 | So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord. |
342 | GEN 14:5 | In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim, |
343 | GEN 14:6 | and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert. |
344 | GEN 14:7 | Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar. |
350 | GEN 14:13 | But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies. |
352 | GEN 14:15 | There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. |
355 | GEN 14:18 | Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God. |
356 | GEN 14:19 | He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth. |
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. |
359 | GEN 14:22 | But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth, |
371 | GEN 15:10 | So Abram took and killed the three animals. Then he cut them in half, and placed each half opposite the other. However, he didn't cut the birds in half. |
375 | GEN 15:14 | However, I will punish the nation that makes them slaves, and later on they will leave, taking many valuable possessions with them. |
381 | GEN 15:20 | Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, |
383 | GEN 16:1 | Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't been able to have any children for him. However, she owned a female Egyptian slave named Hagar, |
385 | GEN 16:3 | So Sarai, Abram's wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband as his wife. Abram had been living in the land of Canaan for ten years when this happened. |
386 | GEN 16:4 | Abram slept with Hagar and she became pregnant. When she realized she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt. |
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. |
389 | GEN 16:7 | The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur. |
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. |
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.” |
397 | GEN 16:15 | Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram. Abram named his son Ishmael. |
398 | GEN 16:16 | Abram was 86 when Hagar had Ishmael. |
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?” |
418 | GEN 17:20 | Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. |
427 | GEN 18:2 | He looked up and all of a sudden he saw three men standing there. As soon as he saw them, he ran over to meet them and bowed low to the ground. |
428 | GEN 18:3 | He said, “Sir, if you please, don't continue your journey without spending some time here with me, your servant. |
433 | GEN 18:8 | Then he took some yogurt, milk, and the cooked meat, and placed the food in front of them. He stood nearby under a tree while they ate. |
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?’ |
461 | GEN 19:3 | But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat. |
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.” |
483 | GEN 19:25 | He completely destroyed the towns and all their inhabitants, the whole valley and everything growing there. |
486 | GEN 19:28 | He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley floor, and saw the land burning, sending up smoke like from a furnace. |
495 | GEN 19:37 | The older daughter had a son, and she called him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today. |
496 | GEN 19:38 | The younger daughter had a son too, and she called him Ben-ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today. |
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!” |
503 | GEN 20:7 | Send the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don't send her back to him, you should know for sure that you and all your family will die.” |
504 | GEN 20:8 | Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants together. He explained everything that had happened, and they were all terrified. |
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!” |
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.’” |
523 | GEN 21:9 | But Sarah noticed that Ishmael, Hagar the Egyptian's son she'd had for Abraham, was making fun of Isaac. |
528 | GEN 21:14 | Abraham got up early the next morning. He packed up some food and a skin of water which he gave to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder. Then he sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered through the Desert of Beersheba. |
