Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - The young man, who was the most honored of all his father's family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:3 - Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:4 - So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, “Don't despair, for you have another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:4 - Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:12 - Esau's son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau's wife Adah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:14 - The sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - “Don't shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the wilderness, but don't lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:32 - They took the ornate robe back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:36 - Meanwhile, the Midianites[fn] sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:6 - Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Judah then said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father's household until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father's household.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.” Judah said, “Bring her out and have her burned to death!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:26 - Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not sleep with her again.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:2 - The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:10 - And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:1 - Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:2 - Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:3 - and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:16 - When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets of bread.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:22 - “In my dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:25 - Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:28 - “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:36 - This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:40 - You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:50 - Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:6 - Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man's sack was his pouch of silver! When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, “You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:6 - Israel asked, “Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man you had another brother?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift—a little balm and a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they went up to Joseph's steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:28 - They replied, “Your servant our father is still alive and well.” And they bowed down, prostrating themselves before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:1 - Now Joseph gave these instructions to the steward of his house: “Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - They had not gone far from the city when Joseph said to his steward, “Go after those men at once, and when you catch up with them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:9 - If any of your servants is found to have it, he will die; and the rest of us will become my lord's slaves.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - Then the steward proceeded to search, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants' guilt. We are now my lord's slaves—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:18 - Then Judah went up to him and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, let me speak a word to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are equal to Pharaoh himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:20 - And we answered, ‘We have an aged father, and there is a young son born to him in his old age. His brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother's sons left, and his father loves him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:22 - And we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he leaves him, his father will die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:1 - Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!” So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:13 - Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:14 - Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:22 - To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[fn] of silver and five sets of clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:23 - And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:1 - So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:15 - These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[fn] besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:18 - These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:22 - These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:25 - These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father[fn] and wept for a long time.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were living in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:3 - Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?” “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:4 - They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants' flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:8 - Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:9 - And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:12 - Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:17 - So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:20 - So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:23 - Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:24 - But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:26 - So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt—still in force today—that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh's.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:30 - but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.” “I will do as you say,” he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:1 - Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim along with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:2 - When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel rallied his strength and sat up on the bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:3 - Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty[fn] appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:9 - “They are the sons God has given me here,” Joseph said to his father. Then Israel said, “Bring them to me so I may bless them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:18 - Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:21 - Then Israel said to Joseph, “I am about to die, but God will be with you[fn] and take you[fn] back to the land of your[fn] fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:6 - Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:29 - Then he gave them these instructions: “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:10 - When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:1 - These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:11 - So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:14 - They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:19 - The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:13 - The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:16 - Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:21 - Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:12 - And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[fn] will worship God on this mountain.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:18 - “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 3:21 - “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:10 - Moses said to the LORD, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:22 - Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:28 - Then Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:3 - Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:7 - “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:8 - But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:17 - Pharaoh said, “Lazy, that's what you are—lazy! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:1 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 6:8 - And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:9 - “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,' then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,' and it will become a snake.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:17 - This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:18 - The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:19 - The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over the streams and canals, over the ponds and all the reservoirs—and they will turn to blood.' Blood will be everywhere in Egypt, even in vessels[fn] of wood and stone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:20 - Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:21 - The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. Blood was everywhere in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:5 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:9 - Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:11 - The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:19 - the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the LORD had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:25 - Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:26 - But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us?
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:27 - We must take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, as he commands us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:28 - Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:4 - But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:14 - or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:35 - So Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:7 - Pharaoh's officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:8 - Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But tell me who will be going.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:11 - No! Have only the men go and worship the LORD, since that's what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:24 - Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:25 - But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:26 - Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the LORD our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:3 - (The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.)
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:28 - The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:29 - At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:31 - During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:36 - The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:42 - Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:49 - The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:50 - All the Israelites did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:5 - When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you are to observe this ceremony in this month:
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:8 - On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:12 - you are to give over to the LORD the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:15 - When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:17 - When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:3 - Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:5 - When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:31 - And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:4 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:7 - and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:15 - When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:22 - On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much—two omers[fn] for each person—and the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 16:23 - He said to them, “This is what the LORD commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.' ”
