6	GEN 1:6	God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters to divide the waters.”
9	GEN 1:9	God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
11	GEN 1:11	God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
15	GEN 1:15	They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened.
20	GEN 1:20	God said, “Let the waters be full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the sky.”
22	GEN 1:22	God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
24	GEN 1:24	God said, “Let the land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
26	GEN 1:26	God said, “Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on it.”
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.”
30	GEN 1:30	I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened.
48	GEN 2:17	but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
49	GEN 2:18	Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
54	GEN 2:23	“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
61	GEN 3:5	“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
71	GEN 3:15	I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
72	GEN 3:16	He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
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.”
81	GEN 4:1	Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
87	GEN 4:7	If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
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.”
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.
104	GEN 4:24	If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
105	GEN 4:25	Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
135	GEN 5:29	He named him Noah, with the explanation, “He will provide relief for us from all the hard manual labor we need to do in cultivating the ground the Lord has cursed.”
141	GEN 6:3	Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
145	GEN 6:7	So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
159	GEN 6:21	Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
164	GEN 7:4	In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
201	GEN 8:17	Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
206	GEN 8:22	As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
217	GEN 9:11	In my agreement I'm promising you that I won't ever again destroy all life by means of a flood—there won't be a destructive flood like this again.”
222	GEN 9:16	I will see the rainbow in the clouds and it will remind me of the eternal agreement between God and every kind of living creature that lives on the earth.”
223	GEN 9:17	Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
233	GEN 9:27	May God give Japtheth plenty of space to accommodate his many descendants, and may they live at peace among Shem's people, and may Canaan also be his slave.”
244	GEN 10:9	He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.”
270	GEN 11:3	They said to one another, “Come on, let's make some bricks and bake them with fire.” (They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of cement).
271	GEN 11:4	Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.”
274	GEN 11:7	We need to go down and mix up their language and make it confused so they won't be able to understand what they're saying to one other.”
302	GEN 12:3	I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. Everyone on earth will be blessed through you.”
306	GEN 12:7	The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him.
312	GEN 12:13	Tell them you're my sister so I'll be treated well because of you, and my life will be spared for your sake.”
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.”
336	GEN 13:17	Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
357	GEN 14:20	May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
358	GEN 14:21	The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
361	GEN 14:24	I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
363	GEN 15:2	But Abram replied, “Lord God, what good is whatever you give me? I don't have any children, and the heir to all that I have is Eliezer of Damascus.”
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.”
368	GEN 15:7	The Lord also told him, “I am the Lord, who led you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land for you to own.”
370	GEN 15:9	The Lord told him, “Bring me a cow, a goat, and a ram, all of them three years old, together with a dove and a young pigeon.”
377	GEN 15:16	Four generations later your descendants will come back here to live, because right now the sins of the Amorites have not reached their full extent.”
382	GEN 15:21	Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
384	GEN 16:2	so Sarai said to Abram, “Please listen to me. The Lord hasn't let me have any children. So please go and sleep with my slave. Maybe I can have a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai had suggested.
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.
392	GEN 16:10	Then he continued, “I will give you many, many descendants—in fact they'll be so many they can't be counted.”
394	GEN 16:12	He'll be a wild donkey kind of man—he will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him. He will forever be fighting with his relatives.”
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.”
396	GEN 16:14	That's why the well is called “the Well of the Living One who Sees Me.” It's still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
400	GEN 17:2	I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”
406	GEN 17:8	I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
412	GEN 17:14	Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”
414	GEN 17:16	I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”
419	GEN 17:21	But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”
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.”
431	GEN 18:6	Abraham hurried back to the tent and told Sarah, “Quick! Make some bread using three large measures of the best flour. Knead the dough and bake the bread.”
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.
439	GEN 18:14	Is anything too difficult for the Lord to do? I will come back next year when I said I would, in the spring, and Sarah will have a son.”
440	GEN 18:15	Sarah denied it because she was afraid, claiming, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did laugh,” the Lord replied.
444	GEN 18:19	I've chosen him so that he will teach his sons and their families to follow the way of the Lord by doing what is right and good, so that I, the Lord, can do for Abraham what I promised.”
446	GEN 18:21	I ‘m going to see if these complaints that have reached me are completely true. I'll know if they're not.”
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.”
463	GEN 19:5	They shouted out to Lot, “Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out here to us so we can have sex with them.”
466	GEN 19:8	Listen, I've got two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you want, but please don't do anything to these men. It's my responsibility to look after them.”
471	GEN 19:13	because we are about to destroy this place. The complaints that have reached the Lord about its people have become so bad that he has sent us to destroy it.”
473	GEN 19:15	At dawn, the angels begged Lot to be quick, telling him, “Hurry up! Leave right now with your wife and your two daughters here, otherwise you'll be wiped out when the city is punished.”
478	GEN 19:20	Look, there's a town nearby that's close enough to run to, and it's so small. Please let me run there—it's really very small. It would save my life.”
480	GEN 19:22	But hurry up and run there quickly, because I can't do anything until you get there.” (This is why the town was called Zoar.)
490	GEN 19:32	Come on, let's get our father drunk with wine and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
492	GEN 19:34	The next day the older daughter said to the younger one, “Last night I slept with our father. Let's get him drunk with wine again tonight and you can go and sleep with him so we can keep his family line going.”
498	GEN 20:2	During his time there, when Abraham told people about his wife Sarah, he said, “She's my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her to become one of his wives.
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.”
503	GEN 20:7	Send the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don't send her back to him, you should know for sure that you and all your family will die.”
511	GEN 20:15	Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
512	GEN 20:16	Abimelech also told Sarah, “Notice that I'm giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. This is to compensate you for the wrong done to you in the eyes of everyone with you, and to make sure that your name is publicly cleared.”
520	GEN 21:6	Sarah declared, “God has made me laugh, and all those who hear about this will laugh with me.”
527	GEN 21:13	Don't worry—I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation because he's your son.”
532	GEN 21:18	Get up, go over and help the boy up, and encourage him, for I will make him into a great nation.”
537	GEN 21:23	“So swear to me right here and now that you won't betray me, my children, or my descendants. In the same way I've proved I'm trustworthy to you, do the same to me and my country where you're currently living.”
550	GEN 22:2	God told him, “Go with your son, the one you love, your only son, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll show you.”
553	GEN 22:5	He told his servants, “Wait here with the donkey while I go with the boy and worship God. Then we'll return.”
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.”
562	GEN 22:14	Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.”
566	GEN 22:18	All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants because you did what I told you.”
568	GEN 22:20	Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.”
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.”
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.”
581	GEN 23:9	to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him, down at the end of his field. I'm willing to pay him the full price here in your presence so I can have my own burial site.”
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.”
585	GEN 23:13	and said to Ephron so everyone could hear, “Please listen to me. I will pay the price for the field. Take the money and let me go and bury my dead there.”
587	GEN 23:15	“My lord, please listen to me. The land is worth four hundred pieces of silver. But what's that between us? Go and bury your dead.”
