14 | GEN 1:14 | Then he said, “Lights become above in the sky, in order to light the countryside. They should give light in the night and in the day. They should keep winter and summer straight.” That happened. |
31 | GEN 1:31 | Truly he made the whole lot. When he had finished making them God looked at them all. He said, “Very good.” Like that God made everything. He made everything in six days. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | Like this God made a/the person. He got dust from the ground. He made a man from that dust. Then he breathed in the nose of the man, then wind/breath from God entered the man. For that reason the man became alive. The name of that man was Adam. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | Among the other animals the snake was really clever. The snake asked the woman, “What did God say to you? 'You should not eat food from all the trees at the water-hole'? Like that did God say to you?” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | Then God said to the man, “I told you not to eat that food. You didn't listen to me. Because of your wife's word you ate food from that tree. In response I will make the country bad. Spinifex and prickles and those sorts of things will appear. You will search for food always. You will dig hard for food, Every day you will be exhausted, you will sweat hard getting food to eat. (Lit., “Every day you will break, truly sweat will eat you.”) After dying you will become dust. I made you from the ground. From the dust I made you. After dying you will become dust again. |
88 | GEN 4:8 | Cain didn't listen to God. He kept on being sullen. Because of that he said to his younger brother, “Let's go somewhere a long way off.” They went off. Then Cain killed his younger brother. |
270 | GEN 11:3 | They ignored God's word. They said to one another, “Let's not spread out/scatter in all directions. Let's stay united. Let's stay right here, without roaming. Let's make a big camp, let's make a big hill-like (thing) also, extremely big upwards, right up to the sky. Everyone else will talk about us. They will say, 'Those people in Shinar are clever, they are truly smart'.” They got mud, they made bricks, they baked them in the fire to make them hard, they made very many. Joining them they glued them with bitumen. They built, they built. (i.e., they kept building for a long time.) |
274 | GEN 11:7 | Lest they do that I will confuse their language. They will talk different languages. Then they will not understand each other.” |
294 | GEN 11:27 | A long time after that big flood a man appeared, his name was Abram. He was an inhabitant of that country Chaldea. He lived in the town named Ur. His father's name was Terah, his younger brothers were Nahor and Haran. (That Haran had children, a son named Lot, and two daughters named Milcah and Iscah.) While Terah was still alive Haran died in his country, in that town Ur. |
298 | GEN 11:31 | After that Terah left that town. He took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai, his grandson Lot, just them. They were going westwards towards another country, Canaan. Partway they arrived at a town named Haran. They settled there for a long time. |
303 | GEN 12:4 | After that Abram went in accordance with God's word. At that time he was old, he had 75 years. He took his wife Sarai, his younger brother's son Lot also, he took his animals and belongings. He took his men also, all his workers, he got them in that town Haran. They all went from Haran, they were going southwards, towards the country Canaan they were going. They were going for many days [lit. 'camps, camps they were going']. They arrived there, in Canaan. |
320 | GEN 13:1 | After that Abram left Egypt. He took his wife and his own younger brother's son Lot, he took all his belongings. Going they all returned to the dry country of Canaan. |
324 | GEN 13:5 | Lot also was staying there, he had lots of animals and workers. |
325 | GEN 13:6 | There were no end of animals on that country. Abram's workers and Lot's workers were seaching in vain for grass for the animals. |
327 | GEN 13:8 | Abram said to Lot, “We two are relatives. We two should stay without anger. My men and yours should stay without anger. |
329 | GEN 13:10 | Lot looked around the country eastward, he saw a plain near the river, the name of that river was Jordan. That was good country, with plenty of water, in good condition all the way to Zoar, like the country Egypt. Two towns were in that plain, Sodom and Gomorrah. |
330 | GEN 13:11 | Lot chose that very country. He went east. In that way Abram and Lot separated. |
331 | GEN 13:12 | Abram stayed in Canaan country, Lot made camp on the plain, near the two towns, close to Sodom he made camp. |
336 | GEN 13:17 | I will give you all this country. You will go through this country, you will look at it.” Like that he told Abram. |
338 | GEN 14:1 | Lot was staying in his camp on the plain, inside Sodom. After that people from the east, foreigners, gathered together, they came to hit the inhabitants near Sodom. One man from the east, named Kedorlaomer, was boss for his town, for Elam. That very one had earlier made himself boss for the people near Sodom. He forced them by fighting to give money. Those people near Sodom were giving him money for a long time, 12 years. At last they said to each other, “From now we won't give money to Kedorlaomer, we will withhold it. We will not listen to him.” |
349 | GEN 14:12 | They took Lot also, Abram's younger brother's son. They took Lot's belongings. They also took all the other people. They left to go to their own country. |
350 | GEN 14:13 | At that time Abram was near Mamre's tree/s. Mamre and his two younger brothers, Eschol and Aner, were friends of Abram. One man ran from the fight, he came to Abram, he said to him, “Those fighters from the east took your brother's son, they took Lot with them.” |
353 | GEN 14:16 | After that Abram's men got back all the possessions of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his possessions, the women and all the other prisoners. After that they all returned southwards. |
356 | GEN 14:19 | This ceremonial leader Melchizedek said to Abram, “You know God. He is boss above. He is the one who made the sky and the ground and the sea and everything also. I am asking God that he will do good to you. Let us all praise God, the Boss above. He rescued you, for you he hit the fighters from the east completely.” After that Abram from the belongings he brought back gave (some) to him. From 10 cattle he gave one, from 10 sheep he gave one, from everything in that way he gave animals and belongings to Melchizedek. |
366 | GEN 15:5 | After that God took Abram outside, he said to him, “Look up, look at those stars. They are very many. You cannot count them [lit. 'cannot put names on them'], they are many. Your own grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them also will become very many. You will not be able put names on them, they will be very many.” Like that God spoke to him. |
374 | GEN 15:13 | Later your grandchildren will go to another country. Not to their country, they will go to the country of foreigners. They will be right there for a long time, for 400 years. The inhabitants of that country will make them work hard, for no money, just for food. Truly they will keep your people for a long time in a very bad way. |
376 | GEN 15:15 | God said to him, “Listen. You will become old, you will die in this country, they will put you in the ground in this country. |
377 | GEN 15:16 | They will stay in that country for 400 years, after that they will come back here. Not now I will give them this country. It is for later. Right now those people what's-their-name, Amu's mob, they are here. This is their country. Later they will become evil-doers, very bad. Right after that I will hit them, truly this country I will give to your people.” Like that God spoke to him. |
396 | GEN 16:14 | Because of that she named that well, “The Living One Sees Me”. |
399 | GEN 17:1 | Abram became old, having 99 years. After that God again appeared to him. He said to him, “I am the greatest [lit. 'I truly am another'], very strong. All others are weak alongside me. Listen to me, do the right thing always. |
406 | GEN 17:8 | Yes, this country, they name it Canaan country, I will give to your grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. Now you are staying in this country like a stranger. Later all this country will belong to your mob forever, I will be a father for them. |
410 | GEN 17:12 | When the little ones have 8 days you (pl) must cut them all. Your workers also you must cut. Perhaps a working person's male children will be born in your camp. You must cut them. Perhaps you will get with money workers from foreign countries. Those also you must cut. Like that you must do. |
459 | GEN 19:1 | The other two continued on towards Sodom. God sent them, those two were angels. They arrived at the town at sundown. At that time Lot, Abraham's younger brother's son, was sitting at the gate of the town. He saw those two, he went to meet them. He bowed to them with his face downwards. |
461 | GEN 19:3 | Lot continued to ask them to stay in his house. Therefore they went to his camp. He brought to them flat damper and various good foods. Those two were eating. |
463 | GEN 19:5 | They called out to Lot, “Where are those two men who came to your house? Bring them to us!” Those Sodom men were truly sex-mad, they wanted those two. |
464 | GEN 19:6 | Lot went outside, he shut the door behind him. |
466 | GEN 19:8 | Listen. I have two daughters, young girls. They have not slept with a man. Let me bring those two daughters to you. Do to them whatever you want. Those two men are strangers, leave them. They came to my camp. Truly I should look after them.” |
467 | GEN 19:9 | After hearing that word they became angry. “Go away! Go away! You came here from a long way off, now you will make yourself a boss for us. We will truly do bad to you.” They pushed Lot in another direction, they tried in vain to break his door. |
468 | GEN 19:10 | After that those two angels pulled Lot inside the house, they shut the door. |
470 | GEN 19:12 | The two said to Lot, “Who from your family are in this town? Children? Sons-in-law? Tell them they must leave this town. |
472 | GEN 19:14 | Lot went to his two sons-in-law, the ones his daughters were promised to, he said to them, “Soon God will burn this town completely. Run quickly from here lest you die!” They ignored him, they were thinking it was like a game, that he was only tricking them. |
473 | GEN 19:15 | When it became first light the angels said to Lot, “Take your wife and two daughters, all of you run outside this town lest you die!” |
474 | GEN 19:16 | Lot was ignoring them, he did not hurry. After that those two angels took him by the hand, they went quickly outside the town. (God had pity on Lot, therefore they did that.) |
476 | GEN 19:18 | Lot replied, “You two with pity have been kind to me, you saved me. Listen to me. The hills are really far away. I can't run as far as there. I might die partway. |
480 | GEN 19:22 | I will wait a little while for you. As soon as you arrive there I will burn the remaining country. Therefore run!” When the sun had just risen Lot and his two daughters arrived at that town. The name of that small town is Zoar. |
484 | GEN 19:26 | Lot's wife ignored the word from the two angels. She looked behind her towards Sodom, salt covered her. That woman died, salt covered her, it made her like a termite mound. |
487 | GEN 19:29 | In that way God burned completely the plain and the two towns. Only Lot and his two daughters he sent away from Sodom lest they be killed. God listened to Abraham, he saved Lot. |
488 | GEN 19:30 | Lot was afraid to stay in that small town, Zoar. He left there, he went to the hills. He and his daughters were staying in a cave. |
490 | GEN 19:32 | Let us give father wine to drink. After that, when he is drunk we will sleep with him. In that way we will have a child from our father.” |
491 | GEN 19:33 | In the night they gave him wine. After he was drunk the eldest one went to him, she slept with him. Lot did not know that she had come and she had gone away. |
492 | GEN 19:34 | On the next day the eldest one said to her young sister, “Last night I slept with father. Tonight we will again give him wine. After that you will sleep with him, you will have a child from him. |
493 | GEN 19:35 | That night they again gave wine to their father. After that the youngest one slept with him. Lot did not know she had come and she hadgone away. |
494 | GEN 19:36 | In that way Lot's two daughters became pregnant by their own father. |
517 | GEN 21:3 | Abraham named his child Isaac. That name says, 'He Laughs'. |
526 | GEN 21:12 | God spoke to him, “Don't be upset about Ishmael and his mother. Listen to Sarah, do in accordance with her word. Earlier I said to you that I will give you many grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. From Isaac they will come. |
532 | GEN 21:18 | I will look after him. I will give him many grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. Now go to him, take him by the hand, make him stand up.” Like that God spoke to her. |
564 | GEN 22:16 | “You listened to me, you did not withhold your own child from me. Therefore I will truly do good to you, I will give you many grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. You know about the stars in the sky, they are very many. I am telling you now, I will also make your grandchildren's grandchilden and those who come after them very many. Some might dislike your mob, I will place your mob as bosses for those who dislike them. I will make it very good for your mob. All other people everywhere will say to me, 'God, you truly did good to Abraham's mob. Like that please do good to us also.' You trusted me. Therefore like that I will do good to you. I am putting down my word for you, that word will truly be for you forever.” In that way God spoke to Abraham. |
606 | GEN 24:14 | I will ask one to give me a little water. She might tell me, 'Yes, here is water for you. I will bring water for your camels also.' The woman who says she should give water for the camels, she is the one who will be a wife for Isaac. Like that will you show me that young girl. If you do that, I will know about you, you are taking care of Abraham.” |
621 | GEN 24:29 | Rebekah's older brother, Laban by name, was there. He saw those two arm-things and the nose-thing. He heard his younger sister's talk. Then he hurried to the old man. He was standing near the well, close to the camels. |
623 | GEN 24:31 | Laban said to him, “God is pleased with you. Do not stay here. Come, you will come to our camp. We have made ready for you and your workers. Your camels will rest there also.” |
624 | GEN 24:32 | They all went to Laban's house. There Laban loosed the riding gear from the camels, he gave them grass. After that he brought water for the old man and the workers for them to wash their feet. |
625 | GEN 24:33 | After that he brought food to the old man. The old man said to him, “Let me tell you why I came. After that I will eat.” “Yes, you will tell us why you came.” |
626 | GEN 24:34 | The old man said to Laban and his father, “I am a worker of Abraham's. |
629 | GEN 24:37 | He said to me seriously, 'You will bring a wife for my son. Do not choose a young woman who is an inhabitant of this country, an inhabitant of Canaan. You will go to my father's country, you will go to my family's camp. From there you will get a wife for my son.' Like that my master told me. |
642 | GEN 24:50 | Laban and Bethuel replied, “God has done this. This young woman will go. We won't prevent her going. |
654 | GEN 24:62 | At that time Isaac was in the south of Canaan country, in the area of the water-hole, what's-its-name, Lahai-Roi. |
670 | GEN 25:11 | After that God took care of Isaac. Isaac made his camp at the water-hole, what's that place, Lahoi-Roi. [25:12-20 omitted.] |
690 | GEN 25:31 | Jacob replied, “Wait a bit! Tell me your true word. You are the eldest one. Later our father will die. After that you will be boss for us two. You will get the big lot of the belongings. I will get the small lot. Tell me I will be like the older brother. Tell me like that, after that I will give you food.” |
730 | GEN 27:2 | The father said to him, “Listen! I have become old. I might die anytime now. |
731 | GEN 27:3 | While I am alive I will tell you a word, God will do this good thing for you. Listen to me, take your weapons for going hunting. Having killed, cook for me really tasty meat. When I have eaten it I will tell you the word in preparation for my death.” |
739 | GEN 27:11 | Jacob said to her, “Listen to me. My older brother is hairy, I am smooth, without hair. |
741 | GEN 27:13 | His mother said to him, “Don't be afraid! Let the trouble come to me instead of you. Do what I say. Bring me two goats.” |
757 | GEN 27:29 | People from far away, from other countries will work for you, they will obey you. You will be boss for your younger brothers, your mother's children will kneel down at your feet. Some will hate you, they will ask God to do evil to you. In response God will do evil to them. Some will do good to you. In response God will do good to them.” In that way Isaac spoke to Jacob. Like that he said God would do good to him. |
769 | GEN 27:41 | After that Esau was thinking about his father's good word from God, his father gave it to Jacob. Therefore Esau did not like his younger brother. He was thinking, “Later my father will die. We will cry for him. After that I will kill my younger brother.” |
771 | GEN 27:43 | Listen to me, lest you die. Go from here. Go to another country, to what's-its-name, to Haran, to my older brother Laban. |
773 | GEN 27:45 | Later your older brother will forget about that lie of yours. After that he will feel good towards you without anger. Then I will send a message for you. I want you both to stay alive, not dying.” In that way Rebekah talked. |
776 | GEN 28:2 | Go from here a long way to another country, to what's-the-place, to Mesopotamia. Go to the camp of what's-his-name, of Bethuel, your mother's father. Get for yourself a wife from right there, from your uncle Laban's family. |
778 | GEN 28:4 | God earlier made a promise to your grandfather Abraham, he told him, 'This country will be for your family for ever.' In accordance with that word he will give you this country. Now you are staying here like a stranger. Later God will give you this country forever.” |
779 | GEN 28:5 | After talking like that Isaac sent Jacob far away. After that Jacob was going towards Mesopotamia, he was searching for his uncle Laban, in what's-that-place, in the country Aram. That Laban was the son of Bethuel. He was the older brother of Rebekah, the mother of Esau and Jacob. [28:6-9 has been omitted.] |
789 | GEN 28:15 | I will be with you wherever you go. Later I will cause you to return to this country. I will not leave you, I will be with you. I will do for you what I said to you.” In that way God spoke to Jacob. |
793 | GEN 28:19 | He named that camp Bethel. That name says, 'God's House'. (Close to that camp there was a town, earlier they named it Luz.) |
796 | GEN 28:22 | I will talk to you at this rock I stood up. If you give me 10 possessions, I will give you one in return.” Like that he talked to God. |
801 | GEN 29:5 | He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” “Yes, we know him.” |
802 | GEN 29:6 | “Is he well?” “Yes, he is well. Look, that is his daughter, she is coming now with sheep.” |
803 | GEN 29:7 | He said to them, “Listen. The sun is still above. Why are you bringing the sheep when the sun is above? Quickly give them water, then quickly take them to the grass.” |
809 | GEN 29:13 | After hearing that word Laban went quickly to his nephew. He hugged him, he took him to his camp. Jacob told him how he came from far away, from another country, his own. |
810 | GEN 29:14 | Laban said to him, “You are my own nephew. Stay here with me.” Jacob stayed there, he worked for his uncle for one month. |
811 | GEN 29:15 | After that Laban said to him, “You are my own nephew. You were just working for me. Now after working what shall I give you?” |
812 | GEN 29:16 | Laban had two daughters. One was Leah, the other Rachel. |
813 | GEN 29:17 | Leah's eyes were a bit bad. Rachel was very attractive. |
814 | GEN 29:18 | Jacob was liking Rachel, he was wanting her for his wife. Therefore he said to Laban, “I will work for you for 7 years. After that you will give me Rachel as a wife.” |
815 | GEN 29:19 | Laban said to him, “Yes. I will give this Rachel to you, not to others. Truly you will stay right here with me.” |
818 | GEN 29:22 | Laban sent word to the people nearby to come to his camp. “We will all eat food for these two when they are joined, they will be man and wife.” Then his workers cooked a lot of food for them to eat. |
819 | GEN 29:23 | After it became dark Laban brought Leah, Rachel's older sister, to Jacob, he said to him, “This one now is your promised one.” (Laban gave one working woman to Leah, her name was Zilpah.) That night Jacob slept with Leah. As soon as he woke up, he saw it was another, Leah. Then he became angry, he said to his uncle, “Why did you deceive me? I worked for you for another woman, for Rachel. Why did you give me Leah?” |
