60 | GEN 3:4 | “You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve. |
66 | GEN 3:10 | “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied. |
68 | GEN 3:12 | “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied. |
69 | GEN 3:13 | The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied. |
93 | GEN 4:13 | “My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied. |
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. |
391 | GEN 16:9 | “Go back to your mistress and do what she tells you,” the angel of the Lord told her. |
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.” |
430 | GEN 18:5 | Also let me bring some food so you can get your strength back before you go on your way, now that you've come to visit me here.” “That would be fine,” they answered. “Please do as you've suggested.” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “Over there, inside the tent,” he replied. |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” the Lord replied. |
451 | GEN 18:26 | “If I find fifty good people in Sodom, I'll spare the whole town because of them,” the Lord replied. |
452 | GEN 18:27 | “Since I've started, let me go on speaking to my Lord, even though I'm nothing but dust and ashes,” Abraham continued. |
454 | GEN 18:29 | Abraham spoke up again and he asked the Lord, “What if only forty can be found?” “I won't do it for the sake of the forty,” the Lord replied. |
455 | GEN 18:30 | “My Lord, please don't get angry with me,” Abraham went on. “Let me ask this—what if only thirty were found?” “I won't do it if I find thirty,” the Lord replied. |
456 | GEN 18:31 | “I admit I've been very bold to speak to my Lord like this,” Abraham said. “What if only twenty are found there?” “I won't do it for the sake of the twenty,” the Lord replied. |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
479 | GEN 19:21 | “Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned. |
536 | GEN 21:22 | Around this time Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, to see Abraham. “God blesses you in everything you do,” Abimelech said. |
538 | GEN 21:24 | “I so swear,” Abraham replied. |
540 | GEN 21:26 | “I don't know who did this, and you didn't mention it before. I haven't heard anything about it until today,” Abimelech responded. |
544 | GEN 21:30 | “I'm giving you these seven female lambs in return for your admission that I dug this well,” Abraham replied. |
549 | GEN 22:1 | Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied. |
556 | GEN 22:8 | “God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied, and they went on walking up together. |
559 | GEN 22:11 | But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied. |
576 | GEN 23:4 | “I am a foreigner, a stranger living among you,” he said. “Please let me buy a burial site so I can bury my dead wife.” |
583 | GEN 23:11 | “No, my lord,” he said. “Please listen to me. I give you the field and the cave that is there. I give it to you and my people are my witnesses. Please go and bury your dead.” |
598 | GEN 24:6 | “No, you mustn't take my son back there,” Abraham replied. |
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. |
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!” |
623 | GEN 24:31 | “Please come home with me, you who are blessed by the Lord,” said Laban. “What are you standing out here for? I've got a room at home ready for you, and a place for the camels to stay.” |
625 | GEN 24:33 | Then Laban had food brought in. But the man told him, “I'm not going to eat until I've explained why I'm here.” “Please explain,” Laban replied. |
626 | GEN 24:34 | “I'm Abraham's servant,” the man began. |
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.” |
649 | GEN 24:57 | “Let's call Rebekah and find out what she wants to do,” they suggested. |
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. |
657 | GEN 24:65 | She asked the servant, “Who is this walking through the fields to meet us?” “He's my master, Isaac,” he replied. So she put on her veil to cover herself. |
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.” |
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. |
700 | GEN 26:7 | When the men there asked him about his wife, he told them, “She's my sister,” because he was afraid. He said to himself, “If I say she's my wife, the men here will kill me to get Rebekah, because she's so beautiful.” |
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. |
721 | GEN 26:28 | “Now we realize that the Lord is with you,” they replied. “So we agreed that we should make a sworn agreement with you. |
729 | GEN 27:1 | Isaac was old and going blind. He called for Esau, his oldest son, and said, “My son.” “I'm here,” Esau replied. |
730 | GEN 27:2 | “I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows? |
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.” |
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.” |
752 | GEN 27:24 | “It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied. |
760 | GEN 27:32 | “Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied. |
775 | GEN 28:1 | Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him. |
800 | GEN 29:4 | Jacob asked them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We're from Haran,” they replied. |
801 | GEN 29:5 | “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied. |
802 | GEN 29:6 | “How is he?” he asked. “He's well,” they replied. “Look! In fact here's his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep right now.” |
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?” |
804 | GEN 29:8 | “We can't do that until all the flocks have arrived,” they told him. “Then we roll away the stone from the well and let the sheep drink.” |
815 | GEN 29:19 | “Well it's better for me to give her to you than anyone else,” Laban replied. “So stay here and work for me.” |
822 | GEN 29:26 | “Here we don't give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn,” Laban replied. |
834 | GEN 30:3 | “Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.” |
846 | GEN 30:15 | “Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded. |
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. |
854 | GEN 30:23 | She became pregnant and had a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said. |
858 | GEN 30:27 | “Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.” |
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. |
865 | GEN 30:34 | “Very good,” Laban agreed. “We'll do as you say.” |
879 | GEN 31:5 | “I've noticed that your father is treating me differently to the way he did before,” he told them. “But the God of my father will be with me. |
888 | GEN 31:14 | “There's nothing for us to inherit from our father's estate anyway,” Rachel and Leah replied. |
905 | GEN 31:31 | “I ran away because I was afraid,” Jacob explained to Laban. “I was worried that you would take your daughters from me by force. |
955 | GEN 32:27 | Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied. |
957 | GEN 32:29 | “Jacob will no longer be you name,” said the man. “Instead you will be called Israel, because you fought with God and with men and you won.” |
958 | GEN 32:30 | “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there. |
966 | GEN 33:5 | Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied. |
969 | GEN 33:8 | “What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered. |
970 | GEN 33:9 | “I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau. |
973 | GEN 33:12 | “Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.” |
974 | GEN 33:13 | “My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all die. |
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. |
1002 | GEN 34:21 | “These men are our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry. |
1090 | GEN 37:6 | “Listen to this dream I had,” he told them. |
1093 | GEN 37:9 | Then he had another dream told his brothers about it. “Listen, I had another dream,” he explained. “The sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down before me.” |
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. |
1100 | GEN 37:16 | “I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?” |
1101 | GEN 37:17 | “They've already left,” the man replied. “I heard them say, ‘Let's go to Dothan.’” So Joseph followed his brothers and caught up with them at Dothan. |
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. |
1137 | GEN 38:17 | “I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied. “What guarantee will you give me to make sure you'll send it?” she asked. |
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. |
1141 | GEN 38:21 | Hirah asked the men there, “Where's the cult prostitute that sits by the entrance road to Enaim?” “There's no cult prostitute here,” they answered. |
1143 | GEN 38:23 | “Let her keep what I gave her,” Judah replied. “We'll look ridiculous to people if we go on searching. In any case I did try to send her the young goat as promised but you couldn't find her.” |
1169 | GEN 39:19 | When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry. |
1181 | GEN 40:8 | “We've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? Tell me your dreams.” |
1182 | GEN 40:9 | So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. “In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,” he explained. |
1185 | GEN 40:12 | “This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent three days. |
1191 | GEN 40:18 | “This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent three days. |
1205 | GEN 41:9 | But then the chief cupbearer spoke up. “Today I've just remembered a bad mistake I've made,” he explained. |
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.” |
