55 | GEN 2:24 | This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being. |
98 | GEN 4:18 | Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. |
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. |
130 | GEN 5:24 | Enoch had such a close relationship with God that he didn't die, he just wasn't there anymore, because God took him. |
169 | GEN 7:9 | went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah. |
205 | GEN 8:21 | The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done. |
268 | GEN 11:1 | At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning. |
273 | GEN 11:6 | The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it! |
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, |
340 | GEN 14:3 | All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley). |
421 | GEN 17:23 | That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him. |
428 | GEN 18:3 | He said, “Sir, if you please, don't continue your journey without spending some time here with me, your servant. |
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. |
453 | GEN 18:28 | “What if there are forty-five good people, just five less? Are you still going to wipe out the whole town just because there are five fewer people?” “I won't destroy it if I find forty-five,” the Lord replied. |
467 | GEN 19:9 | “Out of our way!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are, coming to live here and now trying to judge us? We'll do even worse things to you than we were going to do to these men!” They rushed forward at Lot and tried to break down the door. |
472 | GEN 19:14 | Lot went immediately to speak to the men who were engaged to marry his daughters. “Get up quickly and leave,” he said, “because the Lord is about to destroy the town!” But they thought it was just a joke. |
477 | GEN 19:19 | “If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die! |
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. |
606 | GEN 24:14 | May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness to my master.” |
607 | GEN 24:15 | He hadn't even finished praying when he saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milkah. Milkah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. |
608 | GEN 24:16 | She was very beautiful, a virgin—no one had slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came back up. |
609 | GEN 24:17 | The servant ran over to meet her and asked, “Please let me drink a few sips of water from your jar.” |
610 | GEN 24:18 | “Please drink, my lord,” she replied. She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and held it for him to drink. |
612 | GEN 24:20 | She quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the spring to get more water. She brought enough for all his camels. |
613 | GEN 24:21 | The man observed her in silence to see if the Lord had made his journey successful or not. |
632 | GEN 24:40 | He told me, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived my life, will send his angel with you, and he will make your journey successful—you will find a wife for my son from my relatives, from my father's family. |
634 | GEN 24:42 | Today when I arrived at the spring, I prayed, Lord, God of my master Abraham, please let the journey I have taken be successful. |
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.’ |
638 | GEN 24:46 | She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and she said, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too.’ So I drank, and she got water for the camels. |
645 | GEN 24:53 | Then he unpacked silver and gold jewelry and expensive clothes and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable presents to her brother and her mother. |
648 | GEN 24:56 | “Please don't delay me,” he told them. “The Lord has made my journey successful, so let me leave and go back to my master.” |
654 | GEN 24:62 | Meanwhile Isaac, who was living in the Negev, had just come back from Beer-lahai-roi. |
667 | GEN 25:8 | when he breathed his last and died at a good old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death. |
676 | GEN 25:17 | Ishmael lived to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death. |
707 | GEN 26:14 | He owned many flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, as well as many slaves. He had so much that the Philistines became jealous of him. |
758 | GEN 27:30 | After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip. |
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 |
807 | GEN 29:11 | Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept for joy. |
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. |
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!” |
837 | GEN 30:6 | Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan. |
867 | GEN 30:36 | a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after the rest of Laban's flocks. |
927 | GEN 31:53 | May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor—the God of our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God of his father Isaac. |
939 | GEN 32:11 | I don't deserve all the trustworthy love and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I crossed the Jordan years ago with just my walking stick, and now I have two large camps. |
954 | GEN 32:26 | When the man realized he couldn't beat Jacob, he hit Jacob's hip socket and put it out of joint as he wrestled with him. |
979 | GEN 33:18 | Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town. |
1003 | GEN 34:22 | But they will only agree to this on one condition: they will only join us and become one family if every male among us is circumcised like they are. |
1004 | GEN 34:23 | If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among us.” |
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.” |
1017 | GEN 35:5 | As they left on their journey, the terror of God spread over all the surrounding towns, so nobody tried to retaliate against Jacob's sons. |
1030 | GEN 35:18 | But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin. |
1036 | GEN 35:24 | The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. |
1041 | GEN 35:29 | when he breathed his last and died at an old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
1095 | GEN 37:11 | Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream. |
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. |
1109 | GEN 37:25 | They were just sitting down to have a meal when they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying aromatic spices, balm, and myrrh to take to Egypt. |
1119 | GEN 37:35 | All his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he rejected their attempts. “No,” he said, “I will go down into my grave mourning for my son.” So Joseph's father went on weeping for him. |
1131 | GEN 38:11 | Then Judah told his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Go to your father's house and live there as a widow until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “Maybe he'll die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went and stayed in her father's house. |
1171 | GEN 39:21 | But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him. |
1172 | GEN 39:22 | So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison. |
1173 | GEN 39:23 | The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful. |
1186 | GEN 40:13 | In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to. |
1194 | GEN 40:21 | He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup. |
1195 | GEN 40:22 | But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams. |
1205 | GEN 41:9 | But then the chief cupbearer spoke up. “Today I've just remembered a bad mistake I've made,” he explained. |
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. |
1209 | GEN 41:13 | Everything happened just as he said it would—I was given back my job and the baker was hanged.” |
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.” |
1217 | GEN 41:21 | But afterwards you couldn't tell they'd eaten them because they looked just as skinny and ugly as before. Then I woke up. |
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. |
1245 | GEN 41:49 | Joseph piled up so much grain that it was like the sand of the seashore. Eventually he stopped keeping records because there was just so much! |
1250 | GEN 41:54 | and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other countries but the whole of Egypt had food. |
1257 | GEN 42:4 | But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his other brothers, for he said, “I'm afraid something bad might happen to him.” |
1263 | GEN 42:10 | “That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food. |
1278 | GEN 42:25 | Joseph gave the order to fill up their sacks with grain, and also to return the money they had paid by placing it in the sacks as well. He also ordered that they should be provided with food for their journey home. All this was done. |
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!” |
1291 | GEN 42:38 | “My son won't go there with you!” Jacob declared. “His brother is dead, and he's the only one I have left. If anything bad happens to him on the journey you're planning, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.” |
1295 | GEN 43:4 | If you send our brother Benjamin with us then we'll go and buy food for 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!’?” |
1305 | GEN 43:14 | May God Almighty make the man treat you kindly so when you come before him he'll release your other brother and send Benjamin back. As for me, if I am to lose all my children, then so be it.” |
1306 | GEN 43:15 | So they packed the gifts, took double the money, and set off, accompanied by Benjamin. They arrived in Egypt and went to have an audience with Joseph. |
1307 | GEN 43:16 | When Joseph saw Benjamin was with them, he told his household supervisor, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and make a meal, for they are going to eat with me at noon.” |
1320 | GEN 43:29 | Then Joseph looked over at his brother Benjamin, the son of his own mother. “Is this your youngest brother that you told me about?” he asked. “God be gracious to you, my son,” he said. |
1325 | GEN 43:34 | The food was served to them from Joseph's table, and Benjamin received five times as much as anyone else. So they ate and drank plenty with him. |
1337 | GEN 44:12 | The household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack. |
1343 | GEN 44:18 | Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself. |
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.’ |
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! |
1373 | GEN 45:14 | He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy. |
1380 | GEN 45:21 | So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey. |
1381 | GEN 45:22 | He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver. |
1382 | GEN 45:23 | Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey. |
1385 | GEN 45:26 | “Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it! |
1406 | GEN 46:19 | The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. |
