599 | GEN 24:7 | “The Lord, the God of heaven, took me from my family home and my own country. He spoke to me and swore an oath to me in which he promised, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ He is the one who will send his angel ahead of you so that you can find a wife there for my son. |
630 | GEN 24:38 | Instead, go to my family home where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.’ |
633 | GEN 24:41 | You will be released from the oath you swear to me if, when you go to my family, they refuse to let her return with you.’ |
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. |
639 | GEN 24:47 | I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.’ So I put the ring in her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists. |
735 | GEN 27:7 | ‘Get me some wild game and make me some tasty food so I can eat it and then bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’ |
885 | GEN 31:11 | Then in the dream the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I'm here.’ |
903 | GEN 31:29 | I could really punish you badly, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and told me, ‘Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.’ |
938 | GEN 32:10 | Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’ |
1285 | GEN 42:32 | We are twelve brothers, the sons of one father. One has passed away and the youngest is right now with our father in the country of Canaan.’ |
1294 | GEN 43:3 | But Judah responded, “The man was adamant when he warned us, ‘I won't even see you unless your brother is with you.’ |
1345 | GEN 44:20 | We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’ |
1346 | GEN 44:21 | Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’ |
1347 | GEN 44:22 | We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’ |
1348 | GEN 44:23 | But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’ |
1350 | GEN 44:25 | However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’ |
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.’ |
1354 | GEN 44:29 | If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ |
1377 | GEN 45:18 | Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’ |
1419 | GEN 46:32 | They are shepherds and keep livestock. They have brought with them their flocks and herds and all their possessions.’ |
1421 | GEN 46:34 | tell him, ‘Your servants have looked after livestock since we were children, both us and our fathers before us.’ That way you'll be able to live here in Goshen, because Egyptians look down on shepherds.” |
1456 | GEN 48:4 | He told me, ‘Listen! I will make you prosperous and make your descendants so numerous that you will become the ancestor of many nations, and I will give this land to your descendants to own forever.’ |
1524 | GEN 50:17 | ‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried. |
1595 | EXO 3:15 | Then God said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my name forever, the name you are to call me for all generations to come.’ |
1598 | EXO 3:18 | “The elders of Israel will accept what you say. Then you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews has revealed himself to us. So please let us go three days journey into the desert so we can offer sacrifices to the Lord our God there.’ |
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.’ |
1747 | EXO 9:4 | But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’ |
1814 | EXO 11:7 | But among all the Israelites there won't even be the sound of a dog barking at them or their animals. That way you will know that the Lord distinguishes between Egypt and Israel.’ |
1876 | EXO 13:8 | On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’ |
1883 | EXO 13:15 | Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us leave, so the Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human and animal. That's the reason why I sacrifice to the Lord the firstborn male of every animal, and I buy back all the firstborn of my sons.’ |
1893 | EXO 14:3 | Pharaoh will conclude about the Israelites: ‘They're wandering about the country in confusion—the desert has blocked them from leaving.’ |
1930 | EXO 15:9 | The enemy bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I will destroy them.’ |
2033 | EXO 19:6 | for me you will be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.’ This is what you are to tell the Israelites.” |
2040 | EXO 19:13 | Make sure they are stoned or shot with arrows—they must not be allowed to live.’ Only when there is a long blast on the ram's horn can the people come up the mountain.” |
2463 | EXO 32:24 | So I said to them, ‘Anybody who has gold jewelry, take it off and give it to me.’ I threw the gold into the furnace and out came this bull calf.” |
2475 | EXO 33:1 | Then the Lord told Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you led out of Egypt, and go to the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, telling them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ |
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.’ |
2949 | LEV 8:31 | Moses told Aaron and his sons, “You are to boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and then eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, as I ordered: ‘It is for Aaron and his sons to eat.’ |
3147 | LEV 14:35 | the owner of the house must come and tell the priest, ‘It seems my house has something like mold.’ |
3850 | NUM 6:26 | May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’ |
4018 | NUM 10:29 | Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.” |
4287 | NUM 18:29 | From all the gifts you receive you are to contribute as the Lord's offering the very best, the holiest part of every gift.’ |
4732 | NUM 32:12 | no one except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, because they were completely committed to me.’ |
4946 | DEU 2:6 | Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’ |
5085 | DEU 5:30 | Go and tell them: ‘You need to return to your tents.’ |
5187 | DEU 9:28 | If you don't, those people back in Egypt will say, ‘The Lord brought them out to kill them in the desert because he couldn't take them to the land he'd promised them, and because he hated them.’ |
5489 | DEU 22:17 | Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders. |
5787 | DEU 32:27 | but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’ |
5845 | DEU 34:4 | The Lord told him, “This is the country I solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I'm giving it to your descendants.’ I have allowed you to see it for yourself, but you're not going to enter it.” |
5866 | JOS 1:13 | “Remember what Moses, the servant of the Lord, ordered you to do: ‘The Lord your God is giving you rest, and will give you this land.’ |
5934 | JOS 4:22 | you can explain to them, ‘This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ |
6010 | JOS 8:6 | They'll chase after us as we draw them away from the town, because they'll say to each other, ‘They're running away from us just like before.’ |
6050 | JOS 9:11 | So our leaders and everyone who lives in our land told us: Take what you need with you for the journey. Go and meet with them, and tell them, ‘We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’ |
6198 | JOS 14:9 | At that time Moses made a solemn promise, telling me, ‘The land where you have walked will belong to you and your children forever, because you faithfully followed the Lord my God.’ |
6453 | JOS 22:25 | The Lord put a border—the Jordan River—between us and you, descendants of Reuben and Gad. You don't belong to the Lord.’ So your descendants might stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord. |
6455 | JOS 22:27 | but as a witness between us and you, and for the generations that come after us, that we will come to worship the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and friendship offerings.’ Then your descendants will not be able to say to ours in the future, ‘You don't belong to the Lord.’ |
6456 | JOS 22:28 | If they were to do so in the future, our descendants could reply, ‘Look at this copy of the Lord's altar which our forefathers made, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’ |
6491 | JOS 24:13 | I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’ |
6637 | JDG 5:12 | ‘Wake up, Deborah, wake up! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Capture your prisoners, son of Abinoam.’ |
6648 | JDG 5:23 | ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the Lord. ‘Totally curse those who live there, for they refused to come help the Lord, to help the Lord against the powerful enemies.’ |
6655 | JDG 5:30 | ‘They're busy dividing up the plunder and assigning a girl or two for each man. There'll be colorful clothes for Sisera as plunder; beautifully embroidered colorful clothes as plunder; double-embroidered clothing reaching to the neck as plunder.’ |
6666 | JDG 6:10 | I warned you: I am the Lord your God. You must not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you're now living.’ But you didn't listen to me.” |
6698 | JDG 7:2 | The Lord told Gideon, “There are too many soldiers with you for me to hand over the Midianites to them, otherwise Israel will brag to me, saying, ‘I saved myself by my own strength.’ |
6764 | JDG 9:8 | Once upon a time the trees were determined to anoint a king to rule over them. They said to the olive tree, ‘You shall be our king.’ |
6766 | JDG 9:10 | Then the trees asked the fig tree, ‘You come and be our king.’ |
6768 | JDG 9:12 | Then the trees asked the grape vine, ‘You come and be our king.’ |
6770 | JDG 9:14 | Then all the trees asked the thorn bush, ‘You come and be our king.’ |
6850 | JDG 11:19 | Then the Israelites sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon, and asked him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to our own country.’ |
7158 | RUT 2:7 | “She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.” |
7439 | 1SA 10:19 | But now you have rejected your God, the one who saves you from all your troubles and disasters. You told him, ‘You must appoint a king to rule us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and family groups.” |
7472 | 1SA 12:10 | They cried out to the Lord for help and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have rejected the Lord and worshiped the Baals and Ashtoreths. Please save us from the hands of our enemies, and we will worship you.’ |
7499 | 1SA 13:12 | I said to myself, ‘The Philistines are about to attack me at Gilgal, and I haven't asked the Lord for his help.’ So I felt I had to present the burnt offering myself.” |
7580 | 1SA 15:18 | Then he sent you out to do something, telling you, ‘Go and exterminate those sinners, the Amalekites. Attack them until they're all destroyed.’ |
7599 | 1SA 16:2 | “How can I go and do that?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear about it and kill me!” The Lord answered, “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I've come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ |
7735 | 1SA 20:3 | But David swore an oath again, saying, “Your father knows very well that I'm your friend, and so he's told himself, ‘Jonathan can't find out about this, otherwise he'll be really upset.’ I swear on the life of the Lord, and on your own life, my life is hanging by a thread.” |
7738 | 1SA 20:6 | If your father does indeed miss me, tell him, ‘David had to urgently ask my permission to hurry down to Bethlehem, his hometown, because of a yearly sacrifice there for his whole family group.’ |
7761 | 1SA 20:29 | He told me, ‘Please let me go, because our family is having a sacrifice in the town and my brother told me I had to be there. If you think well of me, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That's why he's absent from the king's table.” |
7777 | 1SA 21:3 | “The king has given me an assignment,” David replied. “He told me ‘Nobody must know anything about the assignment I have sent you to do.’ As for my men, I've told them where to meet me. |
7852 | 1SA 24:11 | “Just look! You've seen with your own eyes today that the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I showed you compassion, and said, ‘I refuse to attack my master, for he is the Lord's anointed one.’ |
7927 | 1SA 26:19 | “Please listen to me, my lord and king. If the Lord has made you angry with me, then may he be happy to accept an offering. But if it's men that have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! For all this while they've been driving me away from living among God's chosen people, telling me, ‘Go away and worship other gods.’ |
7979 | 1SA 29:9 | “As far as I'm concerned, you're as good as an angel of God,” Achish replied. “But the Philistine commanders have stated, ‘He can't go into battle with us.’ |
8033 | 2SA 1:8 | He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I'm an Amalekite.’ |
8034 | 2SA 1:9 | Then he told me, ‘Please come over here and kill me! I'm in terrible agony but life is still hanging on.’ |
8210 | 2SA 7:27 | Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to me, your servant, telling me, ‘I will build a house for you.’ That's why your servant has had the courage to pray this prayer to you. |
8287 | 2SA 11:25 | Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab this: ‘Don't be upset about this, for the sword destroys people at random. Press on with your attack against the town and conquer it.’ Encourage him by telling him this.” |
8311 | 2SA 12:22 | David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and cried aloud, for I thought to myself, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will be gracious to me and let him live.’ |
8391 | 2SA 14:32 | “Look here,” said Absalom, “I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here. I want you to go to the king and ask: Why did I bother coming back from Geshur? It would have been better for me to stay there.’ So go and arrange for me to see the king, and if I'm guilty of anything, he can kill me.” |
8461 | 2SA 17:9 | Right now he's holed up in a cave or some place like that. If he attacks first and some of your men are killed, people who hear about it will say, ‘Absalom's men are being slaughtered.’ |
8493 | 2SA 18:12 | But the man replied, “Even if you gave me a thousand shekels of silver, I wouldn't hurt the king's son. We all heard the king give the order to you, Abishai, and Ittai, ‘Look after young Absalom for me.’ |
8660 | 2SA 23:4 | is like the light of the morning sunrise on a cloudless dawn; like the shining of raindrops on the new grass growing from the earth.’ |
8737 | 1KI 1:17 | She replied, “Your Majesty, you swore to me, your servant, by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne.’ |
8744 | 1KI 1:24 | Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’ |
8767 | 1KI 1:47 | and the royal officials have also gone to voice their approval to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon's reputation even more famous than your own, and may he make his reign greater than your reign.’ The king on his bed bowed his head, |
8777 | 1KI 2:4 | If so, then the Lord will keep his promise to me when he said: ‘If your descendants are to live right before me, faithfully and with complete commitment, then you will always have one of them on the throne of Israel.’ |
8781 | 1KI 2:8 | Don't you forget Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who cursed me with painful words when I went to Mahanaim. When he met me at the Jordan I swore to him by the Lord, ‘I will not kill you with the sword.’ |
8886 | 1KI 5:19 | So I plan to build a Temple to honor the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David. He said to him, ‘Your son whom I will place on your throne to succeed you will build the Temple to honor me.’ |
9004 | 1KI 8:16 | ‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt I have not chosen any town of the tribes of Israel as the place to build a Temple to honor me. But I have chosen David as king over my people Israel.’ |
9013 | 1KI 8:25 | So now, Lord, God of Israel, please also keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said: ‘You will never fail to have a descendant sit in my presence on the throne of Israel, as long as they make sure to follow me as you have done.’ |
9059 | 1KI 9:5 | then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’ |
