3	GEN 1:3	God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
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!”
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!”
213	GEN 9:7	Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
231	GEN 9:25	and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
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!”
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!”
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!”
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!”
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.
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.
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!”
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.
475	GEN 19:17	As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!”
476	GEN 19:18	“Please sir, not that!” Lot replied.
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!”
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!”
521	GEN 21:7	She also said, “Would anyone have announced to Abraham that Sarah was going to have children to nurse? But now I have had a son for Abraham even when he was old!”
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!”
530	GEN 21:16	She went and sat down some way off, a few hundred yards away, saying, “I can't bear to watch my son die!” As she sat down she burst into tears.
559	GEN 22:11	But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
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!”
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.”)
702	GEN 26:9	Abimelech sent for Isaac and complained. “From what I saw she's clearly your wife!” he said. “Why on earth did you say, ‘She's my sister’?” “Because I thought I'd be killed because of her,” Isaac replied.
703	GEN 26:10	“Why would you do this to us?” Abimelech asked. “One of the men here might have slept with your wife, and you would have made us all guilty!”
713	GEN 26:20	But the herdsmen from Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, claiming, “That's our water!” So Isaac named the well, “Argument,” because they argued with him.
720	GEN 26:27	“Why have you come to see me?” Isaac asked them. “Previously you hated me and told me to leave!”
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!”
725	GEN 26:32	It was that very day when Isaac's servants who'd been digging a well came and told him, “We've found water!”
762	GEN 27:34	When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!”
763	GEN 27:35	But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
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?”
766	GEN 27:38	“Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
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!”
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!”
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!”
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.
828	GEN 29:32	Leah became pregnant, and had a son she named Reuben, for she said, “The Lord saw how much I was suffering and now my husband will love me!”
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!”
842	GEN 30:11	Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
844	GEN 30:13	Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” So she named him Asher.
890	GEN 31:16	All the wealth that God has taken from him belongs to us and our children, so do whatever God has told you to do!”
924	GEN 31:50	If you treat my daughters badly or marry more wives in addition to them, God will see what you do even if no one else finds out!”
931	GEN 32:3	When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
935	GEN 32:7	The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
959	GEN 32:31	Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
971	GEN 33:10	“No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
1029	GEN 35:17	When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
1103	GEN 37:19	“Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
1104	GEN 37:20	“Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to his dreams!”
1114	GEN 37:30	He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
1117	GEN 37:33	His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!”
1144	GEN 38:24	Then about three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has had sex like a prostitute and now as a result she's pregnant!” “Bring her out and burn her to death!” Judah ordered.
1157	GEN 39:7	so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”
1162	GEN 39:12	She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.
1239	GEN 41:43	He had Joseph ride in the chariot designated for his second-in-command while his attendants went ahead, shouting, “Bow down!” This is how Pharaoh gave Joseph authority over all of Egypt.
1255	GEN 42:2	I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so we can stay alive—if not, we're going to die!”
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!”
1263	GEN 42:10	“That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food.
1264	GEN 42:11	We're all the sons of one man and we're honest. We're not spies!”
1265	GEN 42:12	“No! You've come to find our country's weaknesses!” he insisted.
1267	GEN 42:14	“As I said before, you're spies!” Joseph declared.
1269	GEN 42:16	One of you go back and bring your other brother here. The others of you will be kept here in prison until it's clear that you're telling the truth. If not, then I swear on Pharaoh's life it proves you're spies!”
1281	GEN 42:28	He told his brothers, “My money's been returned to me. It's right here at the top of my sack!” They were horrified! Trembling with fear they asked each other, “What is this that God's done to us?”
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.”
1309	GEN 43:18	They were really worried that they were being taken to Joseph's house. “It's because of the money that was put in our sacks the first time we came,” they said to each other. “That's why we're being brought in—so he can accuse us and attack us! He'll make us his slaves and take our donkeys!”
1313	GEN 43:22	We've also brought more money to buy food. We've no idea who put our money in our sacks!”
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.
1342	GEN 44:17	“I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return to your father.”
1360	GEN 45:1	Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
1362	GEN 45:3	“I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
1372	GEN 45:13	Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
1383	GEN 45:24	Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
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!
1389	GEN 46:2	During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “I'm here,” he replied.
1436	GEN 47:15	Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
1463	GEN 48:11	Israel said to Joseph, “I never thought I'd see your face again, and now God has even let me see your children!”
1525	GEN 50:18	Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
1526	GEN 50:19	“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
1569	EXO 2:14	“Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
1575	EXO 2:20	“So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
1584	EXO 3:4	When the Lord saw that Moses was coming to take a look, God called to him from inside the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “I'm here,” Moses replied.
1585	EXO 3:5	“Don't come any closer!” God told him. “Take off your sandals because you're standing on holy ground.”
1591	EXO 3:11	But Moses said to God, “Why me? I'm a nobody! I couldn't go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt!”
1615	EXO 4:13	“Please, Lord, send someone else!” Moses responded.
1635	EXO 5:2	“Who is this ‘Lord’ that I should listen to his request to let Israel go?” Pharaoh replied. “I don't know the Lord and I certainly won't let Israel leave!”

1649	EXO 5:16	You don't give us any straw but your slave drivers demand that we make bricks, and they beat us! Your people are treating us badly!”
