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. |
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. |
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. |
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.” |
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!” |
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.” |
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. |
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! |
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.” |
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.” |
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.” |
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.” |
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.” |
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!” |
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?” |
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!” |
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?” |
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.” |
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!” |
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! |
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! |
973 | GEN 33:12 | Then Esau said, “Let’s be on our way! I will go in front of you.” |
1023 | GEN 35:11 | Then God said to him, “I am the sovereign God. Be fruitful and multiply! A nation – even a company of nations – will descend from you; kings will be among your descendants! |
1103 | GEN 37:19 | They said to one another, “Here comes this master of dreams! |
1106 | GEN 37:22 | Reuben continued, “Don’t shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” (Reuben said this so he could rescue Joseph from them and take him back to his father.) |
1113 | GEN 37:29 | Later Reuben returned to the cistern to find that Joseph was not in it! He tore his clothes, |
1114 | GEN 37:30 | returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy isn’t there! And I, where can I go?” |
1117 | GEN 37:33 | He recognized it and exclaimed, “It is my son’s tunic! A wild animal has eaten him! Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!” |
1136 | GEN 38:16 | He turned aside to her along the road and said, “Come on! I want to have sex with you.” (He did not realize it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked, “What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?” |
1215 | GEN 41:19 | Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt! |
1235 | GEN 41:39 | So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are! |
1263 | GEN 42:10 | But they exclaimed, “No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food! |
1264 | GEN 42:11 | We are all the sons of one man; we are honest men! Your servants are not spies.” |
1267 | GEN 42:14 | But Joseph told them, “It is just as I said to you: You are spies! |
1281 | GEN 42:28 | He said to his brothers, “My money was returned! Here it is in my sack!” They were dismayed; they turned trembling one to another and said, “What in the world has God done to us?” |
1284 | GEN 42:31 | But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies! |
1288 | GEN 42:35 | When they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bag of money in his sack! When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were afraid. |
1289 | GEN 42:36 | Their father Jacob said to them, “You are making me childless! Joseph is gone. Simeon is gone. And now you want to take Benjamin! Everything is against me.” |
1305 | GEN 43:14 | May the sovereign God grant you mercy before the man so that he may release your other brother and Benjamin! As for me, if I lose my children I lose them.” |
1329 | GEN 44:4 | They had not gone very far from the city when Joseph said to the servant who was over his household, “Pursue the men at once! When you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil? |
1332 | GEN 44:7 | They answered him, “Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! |
1335 | GEN 44:10 | He replied, “You have suggested your own punishment! The one who has it will become my slave, but the rest of you will go free.” |
1337 | GEN 44:12 | Then the man searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack! |
1338 | GEN 44:13 | They all tore their clothes! Then each man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city. |
1341 | GEN 44:16 | Judah replied, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? God has exposed the sin of your servants! We are now my lord’s slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found.” |
1342 | GEN 44:17 | But Joseph said, “Far be it from me to do this! The man in whose hand the cup was found will become my slave, but the rest of you may go back to your father in peace.” |
1362 | GEN 45:3 | Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” His brothers could not answer him because they were dumbfounded before him. |
1364 | GEN 45:5 | Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life! |
1368 | GEN 45:9 | Now go up to my father quickly and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay! |
1376 | GEN 45:17 | Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan! |
1377 | GEN 45:18 | Get your father and your households and come to me! Then I will give you the best land in Egypt and you will eat the best of the land.’ |
1387 | GEN 45:28 | Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive! I will go and see him before I die.” |
1436 | GEN 47:15 | When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?” |
1446 | GEN 47:25 | They replied, “You have saved our lives! You are showing us favor, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.” |
1478 | GEN 49:4 | You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father’s bed, then you defiled it – he got on my couch! |
1479 | GEN 49:5 | Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their knives! |
1481 | GEN 49:7 | Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their fury, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel! |
1542 | EXO 1:9 | He said to his people, “Look at the Israelite people, more numerous and stronger than we are! |
1561 | EXO 2:6 | opened it, and saw the child – a boy, crying! – and she felt compassion for him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” |
1582 | EXO 3:2 | The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. He looked – and the bush was ablaze with fire, but it was not being consumed! |
1585 | EXO 3:5 | God said, “Do not approach any closer! Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” |
1608 | EXO 4:6 | The Lord also said to him, “Put your hand into your robe.” So he put his hand into his robe, and when he brought it out – there was his hand, leprous like snow! |
1609 | EXO 4:7 | He said, “Put your hand back into your robe.” So he put his hand back into his robe, and when he brought it out from his robe – there it was, restored like the rest of his skin! |
1650 | EXO 5:17 | But Pharaoh replied, “You are slackers! Slackers! That is why you are saying, ‘Let us go sacrifice to the Lord.’ |
1651 | EXO 5:18 | So now, get back to work! You will not be given straw, but you must still produce your quota of bricks!” |
1707 | EXO 7:21 | When the fish that were in the Nile died, the Nile began to stink, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood everywhere in the land of Egypt! |
1712 | EXO 7:26 | Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Release my people in order that they may serve me! |
1731 | EXO 8:16 | The Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and position yourself before Pharaoh as he goes out to the water, and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Release my people that they may serve me! |
1742 | EXO 8:27 | and the Lord did as Moses asked – he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained! |
