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. |
121 | GEN 5:15 | When Mahalalel was 65, he had Jared. |
122 | GEN 5:16 | After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived another 830 years and had other sons and daughters. |
124 | GEN 5:18 | When Jared was 162, he had Enoch. |
125 | GEN 5:19 | After Enoch was born, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. |
126 | GEN 5:20 | Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died. |
138 | GEN 5:32 | Noah was 500 before he had Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
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. |
224 | GEN 9:18 | Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.) |
229 | GEN 9:23 | Shem and Japheth picked up a cloak and, holding it over their shoulders, walked in backwards and covered up their father's privates. They made sure to look the other way so they wouldn't see their father's privates. |
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.” |
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. |
237 | GEN 10:2 | The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. |
239 | GEN 10:4 | The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
251 | GEN 10:16 | the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, |
256 | GEN 10:21 | Shem, whose older brother was Japheth, also had sons. Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber. |
260 | GEN 10:25 | Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; the name of his brother was Joktan. |
261 | GEN 10:26 | Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
264 | GEN 10:29 | Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were all sons of Joktan. |
329 | GEN 13:10 | Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) |
330 | GEN 13:11 | So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other. |
382 | GEN 15:21 | Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.” |
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?” |
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. |
570 | GEN 22:22 | Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. |
661 | GEN 25:2 | She had the following sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. |
662 | GEN 25:3 | Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites. |
674 | GEN 25:15 | Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |
685 | GEN 25:26 | Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born. |
686 | GEN 25:27 | The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents. |
687 | GEN 25:28 | Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob. |
688 | GEN 25:29 | One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry. |
689 | GEN 25:30 | “Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”) |
690 | GEN 25:31 | “First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied. |
692 | GEN 25:33 | “First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob. |
693 | GEN 25:34 | Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son. |
727 | GEN 26:34 | When Esau was 40, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite. |
734 | GEN 27:6 | Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother, |
739 | GEN 27:11 | “But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man. |
741 | GEN 27:13 | “Let the curse fall on me, my son,” his mother replied. “Just do what I tell you. Go and get the young goats for me.” |
742 | GEN 27:14 | So Jacob went and got them and took them to his mother, and she made some tasty food, the way his father loved. |
743 | GEN 27:15 | Then Rebekah went and got her older son Esau's best clothes that she had at home and put them on Jacob her younger son. |
745 | GEN 27:17 | Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she'd made. |
747 | GEN 27:19 | “It's me Esau, your firstborn son,” Jacob told his father. “I did what you told me. So please sit up and eat some of my wild game meat so you can bless me.” |
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. |
749 | GEN 27:21 | “Come over here so I can touch you, my son,” Isaac told Jacob, “so I can tell if you're really my son Esau or not.” |
750 | GEN 27:22 | Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “It's Jacob's voice but Esau's hands.” |
751 | GEN 27:23 | Isaac didn't realize it was really Jacob because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's, so Isaac got ready to bless him. |
752 | GEN 27:24 | “It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied. |
753 | GEN 27:25 | Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your wild game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought some for him to eat, as well as some wine for him to drink. |
755 | GEN 27:27 | So Jacob went over and kissed him, and Isaac could smell the clothes Jacob was wearing. So he went ahead with the blessing, saying to himself, “See—the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.” |
758 | GEN 27:30 | After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip. |
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?” |
769 | GEN 27:41 | From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father's blessing. Esau said to himself, “Soon the time will come when I'll mourn my father's death. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob!” |
770 | GEN 27:42 | However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. “Look,” she told him, “your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you. |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!” |
775 | GEN 28:1 | Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him. |
779 | GEN 28:5 | So Isaac sent Jacob on his way. He traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. |
780 | GEN 28:6 | Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife there, and that when he blessed him he ordered him, “Don't marry a Canaanite woman.” |
781 | GEN 28:7 | He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram. |
784 | GEN 28:10 | In the meantime Jacob had set off from Beersheba on his way to Haran. |
790 | GEN 28:16 | When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!” |
792 | GEN 28:18 | When Jacob got up in the morning he took the stone he'd put under his head and set it upright as a stone pillar and poured some olive oil on it. |
794 | GEN 28:20 | Jacob also made a solemn promise, saying, “God, if you will be with me, and take care of me on my journey, and give me food to eat and clothes to wear |
797 | GEN 29:1 | Jacob went quickly on his way, and arrived in the land of the eastern people. |
800 | GEN 29:4 | Jacob asked them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We're from Haran,” they replied. |
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?” |
806 | GEN 29:10 | When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, he went over and rolled away the stone from the well so Laban's sheep could drink. |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept for joy. |
809 | GEN 29:13 | As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob he ran out to meet him. He hugged him and kissed him, and took him home. After Jacob had explained everything to Laban, |
810 | GEN 29:14 | Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month. |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob was in love with Rachel so he promised Laban, “I'll do seven years work for you for Rachel, your younger daughter.” |
816 | GEN 29:20 | Jacob worked for Laban for seven years, but to him they seemed like just a few days because he really loved her. |
817 | GEN 29:21 | Then Jacob said to Laban, “I've completed the time we agreed. Now give me your daughter to be my wife.” |
819 | GEN 29:23 | But once it was dark Laban brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her. |
824 | GEN 29:28 | Jacob agreed. He finished the week of wedding celebrations for Leah, and then Laban gave Jacob his daughter Rachel as his wife as well. |
826 | GEN 29:30 | So Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban another seven years for Rachel. |
831 | GEN 29:35 | Once again Leah became pregnant and had another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I can really praise the Lord!” After that she had no more children. |
832 | GEN 30:1 | When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!” |
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?” |
835 | GEN 30:4 | She gave her personal maid Bilhah to him as a wife and Jacob slept with her. |
836 | GEN 30:5 | Bilhah became pregnant and had a son for Jacob. |
838 | GEN 30:7 | Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob. |
840 | GEN 30:9 | Leah realized she wasn't having any more children, so she gave her personal maid Zilpah to Jacob as a wife. |
841 | GEN 30:10 | Zilpah had a son for Jacob. |
843 | GEN 30:12 | Leah's personal maid Zilpah became pregnant again and had a second son for Jacob. |
847 | GEN 30:16 | When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me because I've paid for you with my son's mandrakes,” she told him. So he slept with her that night. |
848 | GEN 30:17 | God heard Leah's request, and she became pregnant and had a fifth son for Jacob. |
850 | GEN 30:19 | Then Leah became pregnant again and had a sixth son for Jacob. |
855 | GEN 30:24 | She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me an additional son.” |
856 | GEN 30:25 | Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own country. |
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. |
867 | GEN 30:36 | a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after the rest of Laban's flocks. |
868 | GEN 30:37 | Then Jacob cut some sticks from poplar, almond, and plane trees that had white wood under the bark. He peeled off some of the bark, making the sticks look streaked with white. |
