3 | GEN 1:3 | God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! |
28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” |
31 | GEN 1:31 | God saw all that he had made – and it was very good! There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day. |
70 | GEN 3:14 | The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the wild beasts and all the living creatures of the field! On your belly you will crawl and dust you will eat all the days of your life. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Now the man had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, “I have created a man just as the Lord did!” |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he replied, “I don’t know! Am I my brother’s guardian?” |
90 | GEN 4:10 | But the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! |
93 | GEN 4:13 | Then Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is too great to endure! |
94 | GEN 4:14 | Look! You are driving me off the land today, and I must hide from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth; whoever finds me will kill me.” |
103 | GEN 4:23 | Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah! Listen to me! You wives of Lamech, hear my words! I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for hurting me. |
104 | GEN 4:24 | If Cain is to be avenged seven times as much, then Lamech seventy-seven times!” |
195 | GEN 8:11 | When the dove returned to him in the evening, there was a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak! Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. |
201 | GEN 8:17 | Bring out with you all the living creatures that are with you. Bring out every living thing, including the birds, animals, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Let them increase and be fruitful and multiply on the earth!” |
215 | GEN 9:9 | “Look! I now confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you |
231 | GEN 9:25 | So he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves he will be to his brothers.” |
232 | GEN 9:26 | He also said, “Worthy of praise is the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem! |
233 | GEN 9:27 | May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! May he live in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be his slave!” |
318 | GEN 12:19 | Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Here is your wife! Take her and go!” |
362 | GEN 15:1 | After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and the one who will reward you in great abundance.” |
364 | GEN 15:3 | Abram added, “Since you have not given me a descendant, then look, one born in my house will be my heir!” |
366 | GEN 15:5 | The Lord took him outside and said, “Gaze into the sky and count the stars – if you are able to count them!” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.” |
387 | GEN 16:5 | Then Sarai said to Abram, “You have brought this wrong on me! I allowed my servant to have sexual relations with you, but when she realized that she was pregnant, she despised me. May the Lord judge between you and me!” |
395 | GEN 16:13 | So Hagar named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen one who sees me!” |
414 | GEN 17:16 | I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations. Kings of countries will come from her!” |
416 | GEN 17:18 | Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live before you!” |
431 | GEN 18:6 | So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Take three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread.” |
435 | GEN 18:10 | One of them said, “I will surely return to you when the season comes round again, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” (Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, not far behind him. |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Then Sarah lied, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. But the Lord said, “No! You did laugh.” |
450 | GEN 18:25 | Far be it from you to do such a thing – to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?” |
455 | GEN 18:30 | Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak! What if thirty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” |
463 | GEN 19:5 | They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!” |
465 | GEN 19:7 | He said, “No, my brothers! Don’t act so wickedly! |
467 | GEN 19:9 | “Out of our way!” they cried, and “This man came to live here as a foreigner, and now he dares to judge us! We’ll do more harm to you than to them!” They kept pressing in on Lot until they were close enough to break down the door. |
472 | GEN 19:14 | Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were going to marry his daughters. He said, “Quick, get out of this place because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was ridiculing them. |
473 | GEN 19:15 | At dawn the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get going! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will be destroyed when the city is judged!” |
475 | GEN 19:17 | When they had brought them outside, they said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!” |
476 | GEN 19:18 | But Lot said to them, “No, please, Lord! |
501 | GEN 20:5 | Did Abraham not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this with a clear conscience and with innocent hands!” |
505 | GEN 20:9 | Abimelech summoned Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? What sin did I commit against you that would cause you to bring such great guilt on me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done!” |
521 | GEN 21:7 | She went on to say, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have given birth to a son for him in his old age!” |
524 | GEN 21:10 | So she said to Abraham, “Banish that slave woman and her son, for the son of that slave woman will not be an heir along with my son Isaac!” |
532 | GEN 21:18 | Get up! Help the boy up and hold him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” |
549 | GEN 22:1 | Some time after these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am!” Abraham replied. |
550 | GEN 22:2 | God said, “Take your son – your only son, whom you love, Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah! Offer him up there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will indicate to you.” |
559 | GEN 22:11 | But the Lord’s angel called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered. |
560 | GEN 22:12 | “Do not harm the boy!” the angel said. “Do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.” |
578 | GEN 23:6 | “Listen, sir, you are a mighty prince among us! You may bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead.” |
583 | GEN 23:11 | “No, my lord! Hear me out. I sell you both the field and the cave that is in it. In the presence of my people I sell it to you. Bury your dead.” |
598 | GEN 24:6 | “Be careful never to take my son back there!” Abraham told him. |
600 | GEN 24:8 | But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back there!” |
619 | GEN 24:27 | saying “Praised be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his faithful love for my master! The Lord has led me to the house of my master’s relatives!” |
623 | GEN 24:31 | Laban said to him, “Come, you who are blessed by the Lord! Why are you standing out here when I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?” |
637 | GEN 24:45 | “Before I finished praying in my heart, along came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder! She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ |
652 | GEN 24:60 | They blessed Rebekah with these words: “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands! May your descendants possess the strongholds of their enemies.” |
681 | GEN 25:22 | But the children struggled inside her, and she said, “If it is going to be like this, I’m not so sure I want to be pregnant!” So she asked the Lord, |
689 | GEN 25:30 | So Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me some of the red stuff – yes, this red stuff – because I’m starving!” (That is why he was also called Edom.) |
691 | GEN 25:32 | “Look,” said Esau, “I’m about to die! What use is the birthright to me?” |
702 | GEN 26:9 | So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get her.” |
703 | GEN 26:10 | Then Abimelech exclaimed, “What in the world have you done to us? One of the men might easily have had sexual relations with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!” |
713 | GEN 26:20 | the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water belongs to us!” So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it. |
729 | GEN 27:1 | When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he was almost blind, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son!” “Here I am!” Esau replied. |
736 | GEN 27:8 | Now then, my son, do exactly what I tell you! |
739 | GEN 27:11 | “But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, “and I have smooth skin! |
740 | GEN 27:12 | My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” |
741 | GEN 27:13 | So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, my son! Just obey me! Go and get them for me!” |
746 | GEN 27:18 | He went to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “Here I am. Which are you, my son?” |
760 | GEN 27:32 | His father Isaac asked, “Who are you?” “I am your firstborn son,” he replied, “Esau!” |
761 | GEN 27:33 | Isaac began to shake violently and asked, “Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. He will indeed be blessed!” |
762 | GEN 27:34 | When Esau heard his father’s words, he wailed loudly and bitterly. He said to his father, “Bless me too, my father!” |
764 | GEN 27:36 | Esau exclaimed, “‘Jacob’ is the right name for him! He has tripped me up two times! He took away my birthright, and now, look, he has taken away my blessing!” Then he asked, “Have you not kept back a blessing for me?” |
765 | GEN 27:37 | Isaac replied to Esau, “Look! I have made him lord over you. I have made all his relatives his servants and provided him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?” |
766 | GEN 27:38 | Esau said to his father, “Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!” Then Esau wept loudly. |
769 | GEN 27:41 | So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. Esau said privately, “The time of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill my brother Jacob!” |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am deeply depressed because of these daughters of Heth. If Jacob were to marry one of these daughters of Heth who live in this land, I would want to die!” |
775 | GEN 28:1 | So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman! |
776 | GEN 28:2 | Leave immediately for Paddan Aram! Go to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and find yourself a wife there, among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. |
777 | GEN 28:3 | May the sovereign God bless you! May he make you fruitful and give you a multitude of descendants! Then you will become a large nation. |
789 | GEN 28:15 | I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!” |
790 | GEN 28:16 | Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!” |
791 | GEN 28:17 | He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!” |
821 | GEN 29:25 | In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What in the world have you done to me! Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?” |
832 | GEN 30:1 | When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children or I’ll die!” |
834 | GEN 30:3 | She replied, “Here is my servant Bilhah! Have sexual relations with her so that she can bear children for me and I can have a family through her.” |
842 | GEN 30:11 | Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad. |
844 | GEN 30:13 | Leah said, “How happy I am, for women will call me happy!” So she named him Asher. |
865 | GEN 30:34 | “Agreed!” said Laban, “It will be as you say.” |
875 | GEN 31:1 | Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were complaining, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father! He has gotten rich at our father’s expense!” |
885 | GEN 31:11 | In the dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ ‘Here I am!’ I replied. |
889 | GEN 31:15 | Hasn’t he treated us like foreigners? He not only sold us, but completely wasted the money paid for us! |
900 | GEN 31:26 | “What have you done?” Laban demanded of Jacob. “You’ve deceived me and carried away my daughters as if they were captives of war! |
902 | GEN 31:28 | You didn’t even allow me to kiss my daughters and my grandchildren good-bye. You have acted foolishly! |
905 | GEN 31:31 | “I left secretly because I was afraid!” Jacob replied to Laban. “I thought you might take your daughters away from me by force. |
906 | GEN 31:32 | Whoever has taken your gods will be put to death! In the presence of our relatives identify whatever is yours and take it.” (Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.) |
911 | GEN 31:37 | When you searched through all my goods, did you find anything that belonged to you? Set it here before my relatives and yours, and let them settle the dispute between the two of us! |
915 | GEN 31:41 | This was my lot for twenty years in your house: I worked like a slave for you – fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, but you changed my wages ten times! |
916 | GEN 31:42 | If the God of my father – the God of Abraham, the one whom Isaac fears – had not been with me, you would certainly have sent me away empty-handed! But God saw how I was oppressed and how hard I worked, and he rebuked you last night.” |
931 | GEN 32:3 | When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed, “This is the camp of God!” So he named that place Mahanaim. |
973 | GEN 33:12 | Then Esau said, “Let’s be on our way! I will go in front of you.” |
993 | GEN 34:12 | You can make the bride price and the gift I must bring very expensive, and I’ll give whatever you ask of me. Just give me the young woman as my wife!” |
1011 | GEN 34:30 | Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought ruin on me by making me a foul odor among the inhabitants of the land – among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!” |
