47	GEN 2:16	The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to 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.
70	GEN 3:14	Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
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.
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.”
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.”
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!”
103	GEN 4:23	At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
156	GEN 6:18	But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
208	GEN 9:2	All animals will be very afraid of you—this includes all the birds, all the creatures that run along the ground, and all the fish in the sea. You are in charge of them.
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.”
335	GEN 13:16	You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!
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.”
374	GEN 15:13	The Lord explained to Abram, “You can be absolutely sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be slaves and mistreated for 400 years.
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.
393	GEN 16:11	The angel of the Lord went on to tell her: “Listen! You're pregnant, and you will have a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard how you've suffered.
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.”
402	GEN 17:4	“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,
407	GEN 17:9	Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
409	GEN 17:11	You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.
411	GEN 17:13	You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.
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.
440	GEN 18:15	Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” the Lord replied.
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?”
460	GEN 19:2	“Sirs, please come and stay with me for the night,” he said. “You can wash your feet and then be on your way early in the morning.” They replied, “No, it's fine. We'll spend the night here in the square.”
499	GEN 20:3	But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “Listen! You're going to die because the woman you've taken is already married—she has a husband.”
502	GEN 20:6	God told him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this in all innocence, so I prevented you from sinning against me. That's why I didn't let you touch her.
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!”
511	GEN 20:15	Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
524	GEN 21:10	So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!”
555	GEN 22:7	Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked.
559	GEN 22:11	But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
560	GEN 22:12	The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
619	GEN 24:27	“Thank you Lord, the God of my master Abraham,” he prayed. “You have not forgotten your commitment and faithfulness to my master. And Lord, you have led me directly to the home of my master's relatives!”
629	GEN 24:37	My master made me swear an oath, saying, ‘You must not arrange for my son to marry any daughter of the Canaanite people in whose land I'm living.
633	GEN 24:41	You will be released from the oath you swear to me if, when you go to my family, they refuse to let her return with you.’
650	GEN 24:58	They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied.
682	GEN 25:23	“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
709	GEN 26:16	Then Abimelech told Isaac, “You have to leave our country, because you've become much too powerful for us.”
722	GEN 26:29	You'll promise not to harm us in the same way we've never hurt you. You'll agree that we've always treated you well, and when we asked you to leave we did so kindly. Now look at how the Lord is blessing you!”
752	GEN 27:24	“It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied.
763	GEN 27:35	But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
767	GEN 27:39	Then his father Isaac declared, “Listen! You will live far away from fertile land, far from the dew of heaven that falls from above.
768	GEN 27:40	You will make a living by using your sword, and you will be your brother's servant. But when you rebel, you will throw off his yoke from your neck.”
788	GEN 28:14	Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth, and will spread out west and east, and north and south. Everyone on earth will be blessed by your descendants.
801	GEN 29:5	“Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied.
811	GEN 29:15	One day Laban said to him, “You're my relative so you shouldn't be working for me for nothing! Tell me, what should I pay you?”
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.
860	GEN 30:29	“You certainly know how much work I've done for you, and how well your flocks have done under my care.
861	GEN 30:30	You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?”
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.
880	GEN 31:6	You both know very well how hard I worked for your father.
882	GEN 31:8	If he said, ‘You can have the speckled ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had speckled young. If he said, ‘You can have the streaked ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had streaked young.
900	GEN 31:26	“Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword!
902	GEN 31:28	You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly!
906	GEN 31:32	As for your idols, anyone you find who has them will die. You can search everything in the presence of our relatives, and if you find I have anything that belongs to you, you can take it.” (Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen the household idols.)
911	GEN 31:37	You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right!
915	GEN 31:41	I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced my wages ten times!
933	GEN 32:5	He told them, “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau. Your servant Jacob sends you this message. I've been staying with Laban up till now,
935	GEN 32:7	The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
941	GEN 32:13	You yourself told me, ‘I will definitely treat you well. I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore—too many to count.’”
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.”
970	GEN 33:9	“I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
975	GEN 33:14	You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at Seir.”
976	GEN 33:15	“Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
991	GEN 34:10	You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”
993	GEN 34:12	You can set the bride price as high as you like, and I'll pay it along with all the gifts I'll give. Just let me have the girl so I can marry her.”
1011	GEN 34:30	But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
1097	GEN 37:13	Israel told Joseph, “Your brothers are looking after the sheep near Shechem. Get ready because I want you to go and see them.” “I'll do it,” Joseph replied.
1106	GEN 37:22	“Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home to his father.
1133	GEN 38:13	Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
1138	GEN 38:18	“What guarantee do I have to give you?” he asked. “Your signet seal and its cord, and your walking stick that you're holding,” she replied. He handed them over to her. He slept with her and she became pregnant.
1206	GEN 41:10	“Your Majesty was angry with some of your officials and you imprisoned me in the house of the commander of the guard, along with the chief baker.
1212	GEN 41:16	“It's not me who can do this,” Joseph replied. “But God will explain its meaning to set Your Majesty's mind at rest.”
1224	GEN 41:28	It's just as I told Your Majesty—God has shown Pharaoh what he is going to do.
1229	GEN 41:33	So Your Majesty should choose a man with insight and wisdom, and put him in charge of the whole country of Egypt.
1230	GEN 41:34	Your Majesty should also appoint officials to be in charge of the land, and have them collect one-fifth of the produce of the country during the seven years of plenty.
1262	GEN 42:9	Joseph thought back to the dreams he'd had about them, and told them, “No! You're spies! You've come to discover our country's weaknesses!”
1265	GEN 42:12	“No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
1266	GEN 42:13	“Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man living in the country of Canaan,” they explained. “The youngest is right now with our father, and one has passed away.”
1289	GEN 42:36	Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!”
1290	GEN 42:37	“You can kill my two sons if I don't bring him back to you,” Reuben assured him. “Trust me with him, and I will bring him home to you myself.”
1293	GEN 43:2	so once they had finished the grain they'd brought from Egypt, their father told them, “You have to go back and buy some more grain for us.”
1314	GEN 43:23	“Everything's fine!” he told them. “Don't worry! Your God, the God of your father, must have given you the treasure hidden in your sacks. I got your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to meet them.
1319	GEN 43:28	“Yes, your servant our father is still alive, and is well,” they replied and bowed low in respect.
1352	GEN 44:27	Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
1369	GEN 45:10	You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
1371	GEN 45:12	Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
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.”
1424	GEN 47:3	Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
1446	GEN 47:25	“You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
1451	GEN 47:30	When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
1453	GEN 48:1	Sometime after this, Joseph was told, “Your father is sick.” So Joseph went to see him, taking with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
1454	GEN 48:2	When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” he gathered his strength and sat up in bed.
1461	GEN 48:9	“Yes, these are the sons God gave me here,” Joseph told his father. “Bring them over here so I can bless them,” he said.
