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.
12	GEN 1:12	The earth produced vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind. God saw that it was good.
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.
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.
94	GEN 4:14	“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
143	GEN 6:5	The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
158	GEN 6:20	The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
174	GEN 7:14	They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
175	GEN 7:15	They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
179	GEN 7:19	Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
181	GEN 7:21	Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
183	GEN 7:23	The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
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.”
203	GEN 8:19	All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.
208	GEN 9:2	All animals will be very afraid of you—this includes all the birds, all the creatures that run along the ground, and all the fish in the sea. You are in charge of them.
213	GEN 9:7	Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
216	GEN 9:10	and with all the animals around you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals of the earth—every animal that accompanied you on the ark.
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.”
325	GEN 13:6	so much so that the available land couldn't support both of them—they had so much livestock they couldn't stay together anymore.
346	GEN 14:9	They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
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.”
387	GEN 16:5	Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!”
389	GEN 16:7	The angel of the Lord met Hagar at a spring in the desert—the spring on the road to Shur.
390	GEN 16:8	He asked her, “Hagar, Sarai's slave—where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
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.”
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.”
407	GEN 17:9	Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
455	GEN 18:30	“My Lord, please don't get angry with me,” Abraham went on. “Let me ask this—what if only thirty were found?” “I won't do it if I find thirty,” the Lord replied.
470	GEN 19:12	The two men asked Lot, “Is there anyone else here who's part of your family—sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or anyone else in the town? If there are, make sure they leave,
477	GEN 19:19	“If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die!
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.”
479	GEN 19:21	“Fine—I'll do as you ask,” he replied. “I won't destroy this town you've mentioned.
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.”
501	GEN 20:5	Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!”
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.”
606	GEN 24:14	May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness to my master.”
608	GEN 24:16	She was very beautiful, a virgin—no one had slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came back up.
632	GEN 24:40	He told me, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived my life, will send his angel with you, and he will make your journey successful—you will find a wife for my son from my relatives, from my father's family.
636	GEN 24:44	and she says to me, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac.”
675	GEN 25:16	These were the sons of Ishmael, and these became the names of the places where they lived and camped—the twelve family rulers of their tribes.
694	GEN 26:1	There was a famine in the country—not the one that happened before in Abraham's time, but a later one. So Isaac moved to Gerar in the territory of Abimelech, king of the Philistines.
695	GEN 26:2	The Lord appeared to Isaac and told him, “Don't go to Egypt—live in the country that I tell you to.
711	GEN 26:18	He unblocked the wells that had been dug in his father Abraham's time—the ones the Philistines had blocked after the death of Abraham. He gave them the same names his father had.
755	GEN 27:27	So Jacob went over and kissed him, and Isaac could smell the clothes Jacob was wearing. So he went ahead with the blessing, saying to himself, “See—the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.”
758	GEN 27:30	After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip.
763	GEN 27:35	But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
764	GEN 27:36	“Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?”
774	GEN 27:46	Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!”
776	GEN 28:2	“Leave right away and go to Paddan-aram, to the home of Bethuel, your mother's father. Find yourself a wife there—a daughter of Laban, your mother's brother.
783	GEN 28:9	So he went to Ishmael's family and married an additional wife—Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
810	GEN 29:14	Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month.
866	GEN 30:35	However, the same day Laban went and removed all the striped and spotted male goats, all the speckled and spotted female goats, and all the dark sheep. He had his sons look after them and sent them away—
881	GEN 31:7	But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me.
913	GEN 31:39	If any of them were killed by wild animals, I never even brought you the carcass to prove the loss—I bore the loss myself. But you on the other hand always made me compensate you for any animals that were stolen, whether at night or in broad daylight.
927	GEN 31:53	May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor—the God of our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God of his father Isaac.
941	GEN 32:13	You yourself told me, ‘I will definitely treat you well. I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore—too many to count.’”
988	GEN 34:7	When Jacob's sons returned from the fields they were very upset when they heard the news and became extremely angry because Shechem had done something outrageous in Israel by having sex with Jacob's daughter—something that should never be done.
990	GEN 34:9	In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.
1002	GEN 34:21	“These men are our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry.
1004	GEN 34:23	If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among us.”
1009	GEN 34:28	They took their sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—
1023	GEN 35:11	Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants.
1029	GEN 35:17	When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
1094	GEN 37:10	He also told his father as well as his brothers, and his father told him off, saying, “What's this dream that you've had? Are we—I and your mother and brothers—really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”
1107	GEN 37:23	So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
1108	GEN 37:24	grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
1158	GEN 39:8	But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—
1175	GEN 40:2	Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker—
1196	GEN 40:23	But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
1209	GEN 41:13	Everything happened just as he said it would—I was given back my job and the baker was hanged.”
1215	GEN 41:19	Then I saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked sickly and ugly and skinny—I've never seen such ugly cows in the whole of Egypt!
1224	GEN 41:28	It's just as I told Your Majesty—God has shown Pharaoh what he is going to do.
1255	GEN 42:2	I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so we can stay alive—if not, we're going to die!”
1289	GEN 42:36	Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!”
1299	GEN 43:8	Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy in my care, and we'll leave immediately, so that we can stay alive and not die—and that includes you and us and our children!
1300	GEN 43:9	I promise to take care of him—I'll be personally responsible for bringing him back to you. If I don't, then I will always carry the blame!
1302	GEN 43:11	“If it has to be, then this is what you'll do,” Israel replied. “Take with you the best our country produces. Pack your bags with gifts for the man—balm, a little honey, spices, myrrh, pistachios, and almonds.
1303	GEN 43:12	Take double the money that was returned to you in your sacks—maybe it was a mistake.
1309	GEN 43:18	They were really worried that they were being taken to Joseph's house. “It's because of the money that was put in our sacks the first time we came,” they said to each other. “That's why we're being brought in—so he can accuse us and attack us! He'll make us his slaves and take our donkeys!”
1312	GEN 43:21	and when we stopped for the night, we opened our sacks and each of us found our money—the exact amount—at the top of our sacks. So we've brought it back with us.
1341	GEN 44:16	“My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”
1371	GEN 45:12	Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
1385	GEN 45:26	“Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
1430	GEN 47:9	“I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
1433	GEN 47:12	He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
1467	GEN 48:15	He blessed Joseph, saying, “May the God my grandfather Abraham and my father worshiped—the God who has taken care of me like a shepherd throughout my life until now,
1468	GEN 48:16	the Angel who has saved me from all kinds of trouble—may he bless these boys. May my name and the names of my grandfather Abraham and father Isaac continue through them, and may they have many descendants that spread throughout the earth.”
1474	GEN 48:22	I'm also giving you something in addition to what I'm giving your brothers—piece of land on the mountain slope of Shechem that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”
1479	GEN 49:5	Simeon and Levi are two of the same kind—they use their weapons for destructive violence.
1494	GEN 49:20	Asher will have delicious food—he'll produce fancy food for royalty.
1514	GEN 50:7	Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders of Egypt—
1516	GEN 50:9	They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
1540	EXO 1:7	However, the Israelites had many children and their numbers increased rapidly. In fact there were so many of them that they became very powerful—the country was full of them.
1542	EXO 1:9	He conferred with his fellow Egyptians and said, “Look at these Israelites—there are more than them than us, and they're more powerful than us.
1545	EXO 1:12	But the more the Israelites were mistreated, the more they grew in numbers and spread out—and the more the Egyptians detested them.
1551	EXO 1:18	The king of Egypt called the midwives in and demanded to know, “Why have you done this— letting the male children live?”
1552	EXO 1:19	“Hebrew women aren't like Egyptian women,” the midwives told Pharaoh. “They give birth more easily—they have them before we midwives arrive.”
1588	EXO 3:8	That's why I have come down to rescue them from Egyptian oppression and to take them up from that country to a productive, wide-open land—a land flowing with milk and honey—where currently the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites are living.
1593	EXO 3:13	Then Moses said to God, “Look! If I were to go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ —then what should I tell them?”
