28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the earth.” |
29 | GEN 1:29 | God said, “Look, I'm giving you as your food every seed-bearing plant anywhere on earth, and every tree that produces fruit with seeds. |
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!” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him. |
207 | GEN 9:1 | God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth! |

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. |
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. |
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. |
428 | GEN 18:3 | He said, “Sir, if you please, don't continue your journey without spending some time here with me, your servant. |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” 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.” |
500 | GEN 20:4 | Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people? |
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. |
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. |
508 | GEN 20:12 | “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her. |
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. |
578 | GEN 23:6 | “Listen, my lord, you are a highly-respected prince among us. Choose the very best of our burial sites to bury your dead. None of us will say no to you.” |
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. |
604 | GEN 24:12 | He prayed, “Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please let me be successful today, and please show your faithfulness to my master Abraham. |
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. |
752 | GEN 27:24 | “It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied. |
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 |
801 | GEN 29:5 | “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” 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?” |
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. |
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. |
909 | GEN 31:35 | She said to her father, “Sir, please don't get upset with me for not standing up in your presence, but I have my period.” He looked everywhere but didn't find the idols. |
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! |
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. |
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.” |
1103 | GEN 37:19 | “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other. |
1158 | GEN 39:8 | But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns— |
1237 | GEN 41:41 | Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Look, I'm putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.” |
1263 | GEN 42:10 | “That's not true, my lord!” they responded. “We, your servants, have just come to buy food. |
1319 | GEN 43:28 | “Yes, your servant our father is still alive, and is well,” they replied and bowed low in respect. |
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. |
1563 | EXO 2:8 | “Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come. |
1615 | EXO 4:13 | “Please, Lord, send someone else!” Moses responded. |
1650 | EXO 5:17 | “No, you're just lazy, lazy people!” Pharaoh replied. “That's why you keep on asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.’ |
1687 | EXO 7:1 | The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. |
1737 | EXO 8:22 | “No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd stone us! |
2006 | EXO 18:6 | Moses was told beforehand, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to see you together with your wife and her two sons.” |
2186 | EXO 24:8 | So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the agreement that the Lord has made with you following these terms.” |
2443 | EXO 32:4 | He took what they gave him and using a molding tool cast an idol in the shape of a bull calf. They shouted out, “Israel, these are the gods that brought you out of the land of Egypt.” |
2486 | EXO 33:12 | Moses said to the Lord, “Look, you've been telling me, ‘Go and lead these people,’ but you haven't let me know who you're going to send with me. And yet you have stated, ‘I know you personally, and I'm happy with you.’ |
2506 | EXO 34:9 | He said, “Lord, if it's true that you're happy with me, please accompany us. Admittedly this is a rebellious people, but please forgive our guilt and sin. Accept us as specially belonging to you.” |
2507 | EXO 34:10 | The Lord said, “Look, I'm making an agreement with you. Right in front of all of you I will do miracles that have never been done before—not among anyone anywhere on earth. Everyone here and those around will see the Lord at work, for what I'm going to do for you will be incredible. |
2997 | LEV 10:19 | So Aaron explained to Moses, “Look, it was today that they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. After all that's just happened to me, would the Lord have been pleased if I'd eaten the sin offering today?” |
4019 | NUM 10:30 | “No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied. |
4025 | NUM 10:36 | Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.” |
4053 | NUM 11:28 | Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!” |
4073 | NUM 12:13 | Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!” |
4203 | NUM 16:8 | Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites! |
4266 | NUM 18:8 | The Lord told Aaron, “Listen, I have put you in charge of officiating at my offerings. All the holy contributions of the Israelites that they bring are reserved for you, and this is a permanent rule. |
4322 | NUM 20:10 | Moses and Aaron had everyone gather in front of the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen, you bunch of rebels! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?” |
4381 | NUM 22:5 | He sent messengers to call Balaam, son of Beor, who lived in Pethor near the Euphrates River in his own country. “Listen, a group of people has arrived here who came from Egypt,” Balak said in his message to Balaam. “There are hordes of them and they present a real threat to me. |
4386 | NUM 22:10 | Balaam told God, “Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, sent me this message: |
4411 | NUM 22:35 | The angel of the Lord told Balaam, “No, you can go with the men, but only say what I tell you.” So Balaam continued on with Balak's officials. |
4414 | NUM 22:38 | “Look, I'm here with you now, aren't I?” Balaam replied. “But do you think I can just say anything? I can only speak the words that God gives me to say.” |
4692 | NUM 31:26 | “You, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite family leaders are to take a record of the people and animals that were captured. |
4715 | NUM 31:49 | and told him, “We, your servants, have checked the troops we command and not a single man is missing. |
4745 | NUM 32:25 | The tribes of Gad and Reuben promised Moses, “Sir, we your servants will do just as you have ordered. |
4971 | DEU 2:31 | Then the Lord told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.” |
5079 | DEU 5:24 | and said, “Listen, the Lord our God has revealed glory and majesty to us, and we have heard his voice that came from the fire. Today we have seen that human beings can don't die even when God speaks with them. |
5432 | DEU 20:3 | He is to tell them, “Listen, men of Israel! Today you are going to fight your enemies. Don't be nervous or afraid; don't be panicked or terrified by them. |
5744 | DEU 31:14 | Then the Lord told Moses, “Listen, you are soon going to die. Tell Joshua to meet you, and then both of you are to come and stand before me at the Tent of Meeting, so that I may appoint him as leader.” Moses and Joshua went to stand before the Lord at the Tent of Meeting. |
5819 | DEU 33:7 | To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.” |
5830 | DEU 33:18 | To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents. |
5873 | JOS 2:2 | But the king of Jericho was told, “Look, some Israelites have come here this evening to spy out the land.” |
5875 | JOS 2:4 | The woman had taken the two men and had hidden them. She told the king's messengers, “Yes, it's true—the men did come to visit me, but I didn't know where they were from. |
5985 | JOS 7:7 | Joshua cried, “Why, oh why, Lord God, did you bring us across the Jordan River only to hand us over to the Amorites for them to destroy us? We should have been satisfied to stay on the other side of the Jordan! |
6078 | JOS 10:12 | On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon!” |
6439 | JOS 22:11 | The Israelites were told, “Look, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the Jordan region of the land of Canaan, on the side belonging to the Israelities.” |
6500 | JOS 24:22 | Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied. |
6673 | JDG 6:17 | “Please, Lord, if you think well of me, give me a sign that it's really you telling me this,” Gideon asked. |
6685 | JDG 6:29 | They asked one another, “Who did this?” They made inquiries and they were told, “Gideon, son of Joash, did it.” |
6787 | JDG 9:31 | He secretly sent messengers to Abimelech to tell him, “Look, Gaal, son of Ebed, and his relatives have arrived in Shechem, and they are stirring up the town to rebel against you. |
6793 | JDG 9:37 | “No really, people are coming down from the high ground,” Gaal repeated. “Plus, there's another company coming down the road that passes the diviners' oak tree.” |
6839 | JDG 11:8 | “Yes, that's why we've turned to you now,” the elders of Gilead replied. “Come with us and fight the Ammonites, and you will be the leader of all the people of Gilead.” |
6867 | JDG 11:36 | She replied, “Father, you have made a solemn promise to the Lord. Do to me what you promised, for the Lord brought vengeance your enemies, the Ammonites.” |
6894 | JDG 13:8 | Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent us return to us to explain what we're supposed to do with the boy who is to be born.” |
6943 | JDG 15:12 | “Well, we've come to take you prisoner and hand you over to the Philistines,” they told him. “Just swear to me that you're not going to kill me yourselves,” Samson answered. |
6944 | JDG 15:13 | “No, we won't,” they assured him. “We'll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. We certainly aren't going to kill you!” They tied him using two new ropes and led him up from the rock. |
6960 | JDG 16:9 | Having arranged for men to hide in her bedroom ready to attack him, she shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a thread snaps when a flame touches it. So nobody found out where his strength came from. |
6963 | JDG 16:12 | So Delilah got some new ropes and tied him up with them. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” As before, men were hiding in her bedroom. But again Samson snapped the ropes from his arms as if they were thin threads. |
6965 | JDG 16:14 | and tightening the pin. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But Samson woke up and ripped out both the pin and the web from the loom. |
6971 | JDG 16:20 | She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” Samson woke up and thought to himself, “I'll do like before and shake myself free.” But he didn't know that the Lord had left him. |
7037 | JDG 19:11 | As they approached Jebus the day was over, the servant said to his master, “Sir, why don't we stop here at this Jebusite town for the night?” |
7038 | JDG 19:12 | But his master replied, “No, we're not going to stop in this town where only foreigners live and no Israelites. We'll continue on to Gibeah.” |
7084 | JDG 20:28 | Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, was the priest. The Israelites asked the Lord, “Should go and we fight again against our relatives from Benjamin, or not?” “Yes, go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you,” the Lord replied. |
7107 | JDG 21:3 | “Lord, God of Israel, why has this happened to Israel?” they asked. “Today one of our tribes is missing from Israel.” |
7144 | RUT 1:15 | “Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back home with her,” said Naomi. |
7153 | RUT 2:2 | Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied. |
7198 | RUT 4:6 | “Well, I can't do it then,” the family redeemer replied. “If I were to redeem it, that could jeopardize what I already own. You redeem it for yourself, because I can't.” |
7203 | RUT 4:11 | The elders and all the people present at the town gate said, “Yes, we are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah who between them gave birth to the people of Israel. May you become prosperous in Ephrathah, and famous in Bethlehem. |
