Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:11 - “But look,” Jacob replied to Rebekah, “my brother, Esau, is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:12 - What if my father touches me? He'll see that I'm trying to trick him, and then he'll curse me instead of blessing me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:14 - So Jacob went out and got the young goats for his mother. Rebekah took them and prepared a delicious meal, just the way Isaac liked it.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:23 - But he did not recognize Jacob, because Jacob's hands felt hairy just like Esau's. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:26

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:27

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:27 - So Jacob went over and kissed him. And when Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he was finally convinced, and he blessed his son. He said, “Ah! The smell of my son is like the smell of the outdoors, which the LORD has blessed!

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:34 - When Esau heard his father's words, he let out a loud and bitter cry. “Oh my father, what about me? Bless me, too!” he begged.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:36

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:36 - Esau exclaimed, “No wonder his name is Jacob, for now he has cheated me twice.[fn] First he took my rights as the firstborn, and now he has stolen my blessing. Oh, haven't you saved even one blessing for me?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:37

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:37 - Isaac said to Esau, “I have made Jacob your master and have declared that all his brothers will be his servants. I have guaranteed him an abundance of grain and wine—what is left for me to give you, my son?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:38

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - Esau pleaded, “But do you have only one blessing? Oh my father, bless me, too!” Then Esau broke down and wept.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:39

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:39 - Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him,
“You will live away from the richness of the earth,
and away from the dew of the heaven above.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:40

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:40 - You will live by your sword,
and you will serve your brother.
But when you decide to break free,
you will shake his yoke from your neck.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 27:41

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - From that time on, Esau hated Jacob because their father had given Jacob the blessing. And Esau began to scheme: “I will soon be mourning my father's death. Then I will kill my brother, Jacob.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:44 - Stay there with him until your brother cools off.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 28:9

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 28:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:11 - At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 28:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I wasn't even aware of it!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 28:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:18 - The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - He saw a well in the distance. Three flocks of sheep and goats lay in an open field beside it, waiting to be watered. But a heavy stone covered the mouth of the well.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:3 - It was the custom there to wait for all the flocks to arrive before removing the stone and watering the animals. Afterward the stone would be placed back over the mouth of the well.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - “Is he doing well?” Jacob asked.
“Yes, he's well,” they answered. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the flock now.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:9 - Jacob was still talking with them when Rachel arrived with her father's flock, for she was a shepherd.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:10

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - And because Rachel was his cousin—the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother—and because the sheep and goats belonged to his uncle Laban, Jacob went over to the well and moved the stone from its mouth and watered his uncle's flock.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:11 - Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and he wept aloud.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - As soon as Laban heard that his nephew Jacob had arrived, he ran out to meet him. He embraced and kissed him and brought him home. When Jacob had told him his story,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:14 - Laban exclaimed, “You really are my own flesh and blood!” After Jacob had stayed with Laban for about a month,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:20 - So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:23 - But that night, when it was dark, Laban took Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - (Laban had given Leah a servant, Zilpah, to be her maid.)

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:28

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - So Jacob agreed to work seven more years. A week after Jacob had married Leah, Laban gave him Rachel, too.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - (Laban gave Rachel a servant, Bilhah, to be her maid.)

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:32

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,[fn] for she said, “The LORD has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:33

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - She soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon,[fn] for she said, “The LORD heard that I was unloved and has given me another son.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:34

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:34 - Then she became pregnant a third time and gave birth to another son. She named him Levi,[fn] for she said, “Surely this time my husband will feel affection for me, since I have given him three sons!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 29:35

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:35 - Once again Leah became pregnant and gave birth to another son. She named him Judah,[fn] for she said, “Now I will praise the LORD!” And then she stopped having children.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 30:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:13 - And Leah named him Asher,[fn] for she said, “What joy is mine! Now the other women will celebrate with me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 30:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - One day during the wheat harvest, Reuben found some mandrakes growing in a field and brought them to his mother, Leah. Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:18 - She named him Issachar,[fn] for she said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband as a wife.”

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 30:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:20 - She named him Zebulun,[fn] for she said, “God has given me a good reward. Now my husband will treat me with respect, for I have given him six sons.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 30:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:24 - And she named him Joseph,[fn] for she said, “May the LORD add yet another son to my family.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 30:35

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:35 - But that very day Laban went out and removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted or had white patches, and all the black sheep. He placed them in the care of his own sons,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:17

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:17 - So Jacob put his wives and children on camels,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - and he drove all his livestock in front of him. He packed all the belongings he had acquired in Paddan-aram and set out for the land of Canaan, where his father, Isaac, lived.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:19 - At the time they left, Laban was some distance away, shearing his sheep. Rachel stole her father's household idols and took them with her.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:21 - So Jacob took all his possessions with him and crossed the Euphrates River,[fn] heading for the hill country of Gilead.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:23 - So he gathered a group of his relatives and set out in hot pursuit. He caught up with Jacob seven days later in the hill country of Gilead.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:25

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Laban caught up with Jacob as he was camped in the hill country of Gilead, and he set up his camp not far from Jacob's.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:32

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - But as for your gods, see if you can find them, and let the person who has taken them die! And if you find anything else that belongs to you, identify it before all these relatives of ours, and I will give it back!” But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the household idols.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:46

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - Then he told his family members, “Gather some stones.” So they gathered stones and piled them in a heap. Then Jacob and Laban sat down beside the pile of stones to eat a covenant meal.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:48

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - Then Laban declared, “This pile of stones will stand as a witness to remind us of the covenant we have made today.” This explains why it was called Galeed—“Witness Pile.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:53

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:53 - I call on the God of our ancestors—the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of my grandfather Nahor—to serve as a judge between us.”
So Jacob took an oath before the fearsome God of his father, Isaac,[fn] to respect the boundary line.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:54

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:54 - Then Jacob offered a sacrifice to God there on the mountain and invited everyone to a covenant feast. After they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 31:55

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - [fn]Laban got up early the next morning, and he kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then he left and returned home.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - Then Jacob sent messengers ahead to his brother, Esau, who was living in the region of Seir in the land of Edom.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:6 - After delivering the message, the messengers returned to Jacob and reported, “We met your brother, Esau, and he is already on his way to meet you—with an army of 400 men!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - Jacob was terrified at the news. He divided his household, along with the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:13 - Jacob stayed where he was for the night. Then he selected these gifts from his possessions to present to his brother, Esau:

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - He divided these animals into herds and assigned each to different servants. Then he told his servants, “Go ahead of me with the animals, but keep some distance between the herds.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - And be sure to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.'”
Jacob thought, “I will try to appease him by sending gifts ahead of me. When I see him in person, perhaps he will be friendly to me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the gifts were sent on ahead, while Jacob himself spent that night in the camp.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:22

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River with them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:23 - After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:24 - This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:25

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob's hip and wrenched it out of its socket.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 32:31

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:31 - The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel,[fn] and he was limping because of the injury to his hip.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:1 - Then Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with his 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and his two servant wives.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - Then Jacob went on ahead. As he approached his brother, he bowed to the ground seven times before him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:4 - Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau turned around and started back to Seir that same day.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:17

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:17 - Jacob, on the other hand, traveled on to Succoth. There he built himself a house and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place was named Succoth (which means “shelters”).

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 33:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:19 - Jacob bought the plot of land where he camped from the family of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - He said to his father, Hamor, “Get me this young girl. I want to marry her.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - Soon Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter, Dinah. But since his sons were out in the fields herding his livestock, he said nothing until they returned.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - But since Shechem had defiled their sister, Dinah, Jacob's sons responded deceitfully to Shechem and his father, Hamor.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - Shechem wasted no time in acting on this request, for he wanted Jacob's daughter desperately. Shechem was a highly respected member of his family,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - and he went with his father, Hamor, to present this proposal to the leaders at the town gate.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:24 - So all the men in the town council agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every male in the town was circumcised.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:25

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - But three days later, when their wounds were still sore, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah's full brothers, took their swords and entered the town without opposition. Then they slaughtered every male there,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 34:26

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - including Hamor and his son Shechem. They killed them with their swords, then took Dinah from Shechem's house and returned to their camp.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob told everyone in his household, “Get rid of all your pagan idols, purify yourselves, and put on clean clothing.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - Eventually, Jacob and his household arrived at Luz (also called Bethel) in Canaan.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:7 - Jacob built an altar there and named the place El-bethel (which means “God of Bethel”), because God had appeared to him there when he was fleeing from his brother, Esau.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:13 - Then God went up from the place where he had spoken to Jacob.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him. Then he poured wine over it as an offering to God and anointed the pillar with olive oil.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:15

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:15 - And Jacob named the place Bethel (which means “house of God”), because God had spoken to him there.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Leaving Bethel, Jacob and his clan moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel went into labor while they were still some distance away. Her labor pains were intense.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means “son of my sorrow”). The baby's father, however, called him Benjamin (which means “son of my right hand”).

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:22

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - While he was living there, Reuben had intercourse with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Jacob soon heard about it.
These are the names of the twelve sons of Jacob:

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:27

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - So Jacob returned to his father, Isaac, in Mamre, which is near Kiriath-arba (now called Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had both lived as foreigners.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 35:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:29 - Then he breathed his last and died at a ripe old age, joining his ancestors in death. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 36:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - So Jacob settled again in the land of Canaan, where his father had lived as a foreigner.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - This is the account of Jacob and his family. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he often tended his father's flocks. He worked for his half brothers, the sons of his father's wives Bilhah and Zilpah. But Joseph reported to his father some of the bad things his brothers were doing.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - Jacob[fn] loved Joseph more than any of his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day Jacob had a special gift made for Joseph—a beautiful robe.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:4 - But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn't say a kind word to him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:5 - One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:8 - His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Soon Joseph had another dream, and again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I have had another dream,” he said. “The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:10

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:10 - This time he told the dream to his father as well as to his brothers, but his father scolded him. “What kind of dream is that?” he asked. “Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow to the ground before you?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:11 - But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:12 - Soon after this, Joseph's brothers went to pasture their father's flocks at Shechem.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:17

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - “Yes,” the man told him. “They have moved on from here, but I heard them say, ‘Let's go on to Dothan.'” So Joseph followed his brothers to Dothan and found them there.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - “Here comes the dreamer!” they said.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:20 - “Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns. We can tell our father, ‘A wild animal has eaten him.' Then we'll see what becomes of his dreams!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:22

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - “Why should we shed any blood? Let's just throw him into this empty cistern here in the wilderness. Then he'll die without our laying a hand on him.” Reuben was secretly planning to rescue Joseph and return him to his father.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:26

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain by killing our brother? We'd have to cover up the crime.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:27

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:27 - Instead of hurting him, let's sell him to those Ishmaelite traders. After all, he is our brother—our own flesh and blood!” And his brothers agreed.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - Some time later, Reuben returned to get Joseph out of the cistern. When he discovered that Joseph was missing, he tore his clothes in grief.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:30

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - Then he went back to his brothers and lamented, “The boy is gone! What will I do now?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:34

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes and dressed himself in burlap. He mourned deeply for his son for a long time.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 37:35

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - His family all tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “I will go to my grave[fn] mourning for my son,” he would say, and then he would weep.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - About this time, Judah left home and moved to Adullam, where he stayed with a man named Hirah.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:3 - she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and he named the boy Er.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:4 - Then she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son, and she named him Onan.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - And when she gave birth to a third son, she named him Shelah. At the time of Shelah's birth, they were living at Kezib.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:6 - In the course of time, Judah arranged for his firstborn son, Er, to marry a young woman named Tamar.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan was not willing to have a child who would not be his own heir. So whenever he had intercourse with his brother's wife, he spilled the semen on the ground. This prevented her from having a child who would belong to his brother.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Go back to your parents' home and remain a widow until my son Shelah is old enough to marry you.” (But Judah didn't really intend to do this because he was afraid Shelah would also die, like his two brothers.) So Tamar went back to live in her father's home.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:12 - Some years later Judah's wife died. After the time of mourning was over, Judah and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to Timnah to supervise the shearing of his sheep.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:13 - Someone told Tamar, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - So he stopped and propositioned her. “Let me have sex with you,” he said, not realizing that she was his own daughter-in-law.
“How much will you pay to have sex with me?” Tamar asked.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - “What kind of guarantee do you want?” he replied.
She answered, “Leave me your identification seal and its cord and the walking stick you are carrying.” So Judah gave them to her. Then he had intercourse with her, and she became pregnant.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - Later Judah asked his friend Hirah the Adullamite to take the young goat to the woman and to pick up the things he had given her as his guarantee. But Hirah couldn't find her.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:28

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - While she was in labor, one of the babies reached out his hand. The midwife grabbed it and tied a scarlet string around the child's wrist, announcing, “This one came out first.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - But then he pulled back his hand, and out came his brother! “What!” the midwife exclaimed. “How did you break out first?” So he was named Perez.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 38:30

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:30 - Then the baby with the scarlet string on his wrist was born, and he was named Zerah.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - Potiphar noticed this and realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master's household and property, the LORD began to bless Potiphar's household for Joseph's sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:7 - and Potiphar's wife soon began to look at him lustfully. “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, “Come on, sleep with me!” Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - When she saw that she was holding his cloak and he had fled,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:15

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - When he heard me scream, he ran outside and got away, but he left his cloak behind with me.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:16 - She kept the cloak with her until her husband came home.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - “But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his cloak with me!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 - Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife's story about how Joseph had treated her.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:21 - But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the LORD made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 39:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The LORD was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:2 - Pharaoh became angry with these two officials,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - While they were in prison, Pharaoh's cup-bearer and baker each had a dream one night, and each dream had its own meaning.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - “Why do you look so worried today?” he asked them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cup-bearer told Joseph his dream first. “In my dream,” he said, “I saw a grapevine in front of me.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:12 - “This is what the dream means,” Joseph said. “The three branches represent three days.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:13 - Within three days Pharaoh will lift you up and restore you to your position as his chief cup-bearer.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - “This is what the dream means,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets also represent three days.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - Pharaoh's birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned[fn] his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:21 - He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 40:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:23 - Pharaoh's chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - The next morning Pharaoh was very disturbed by the dreams. So he called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. When Pharaoh told them his dreams, not one of them could tell him what they meant.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:10

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - “Some time ago, you were angry with the chief baker and me, and you imprisoned us in the palace of the captain of the guard.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:37

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:38

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:42

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:42 - Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:43

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:43 - Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command. And wherever Joseph went, the command was shouted, “Kneel down!” So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all Egypt.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 41:44

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - And Pharaoh said to him, “I am Pharaoh, but no one will lift a hand or foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob heard that grain was available in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you standing around looking at one another?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob wouldn't let Joseph's younger brother, Benjamin, go with them, for fear some harm might come to him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - Joseph recognized his brothers instantly, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. “Where are you from?” he demanded.
“From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We have come to buy food.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:8 - Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn't recognize him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - Speaking among themselves, they said, “Clearly we are being punished because of what we did to Joseph long ago. We saw his anguish when he pleaded for his life, but we wouldn't listen. That's why we're in this trouble.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:22

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - “Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy?” Reuben asked. “But you wouldn't listen. And now we have to answer for his blood!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:25

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Joseph then ordered his servants to fill the men's sacks with grain, but he also gave secret instructions to return each brother's payment at the top of his sack. He also gave them supplies for their journey home.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:27

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - But when they stopped for the night and one of them opened his sack to get grain for his donkey, he found his money in the top of his sack.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:28

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - “Look!” he exclaimed to his brothers. “My money has been returned; it's here in my sack!” Then their hearts sank. Trembling, they said to each other, “What has God done to us?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:37

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I don't bring Benjamin back to you. I'll be responsible for him, and I promise to bring him back.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 42:38

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down with you. His brother Joseph is dead, and he is all I have left. If anything should happen to him on your journey, you would send this grieving, white-haired man to his grave.[fn]”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - Judah said to his father, “Send the boy with me, and we will be on our way. Otherwise we will all die of starvation—and not only we, but you and our little ones.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the manager of his household, “These men will eat with me this noon. Take them inside the palace. Then go slaughter an animal, and prepare a big feast.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - But as we were returning home, we stopped for the night and opened our sacks. Then we discovered that each man's money—the exact amount paid—was in the top of his sack! Here it is; we have brought it back with us.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - Then Joseph looked at his brother Benjamin, the son of his own mother. “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Joseph asked. “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:30

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - Then Joseph hurried from the room because he was overcome with emotion for his brother. He went into his private room, where he broke down and wept.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:32

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:32 - The waiters served Joseph at his own table, and his brothers were served at a separate table. The Egyptians who ate with Joseph sat at their own table, because Egyptians despise Hebrews and refuse to eat with them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:33

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - Joseph told each of his brothers where to sit, and to their amazement, he seated them according to age, from oldest to youngest.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 43:34

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:34 - And Joseph filled their plates with food from his own table, giving Benjamin five times as much as he gave the others. So they feasted and drank freely with him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:1 - When his brothers were ready to leave, Joseph gave these instructions to his palace manager: “Fill each of their sacks with as much grain as they can carry, and put each man's money back into his sack.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - Then put my personal silver cup at the top of the youngest brother's sack, along with the money for his grain.” So the manager did as Joseph instructed him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - But when they had gone only a short distance and were barely out of the city, Joseph said to his palace manager, “Chase after them and stop them. When you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you repaid my kindness with such evil?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:11 - They all quickly took their sacks from the backs of their donkeys and opened them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:13

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:13 - When the brothers saw this, they tore their clothing in despair. Then they loaded their donkeys again and returned to the city.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:14 - Joseph was still in his palace when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:20 - And we responded, ‘Yes, my lord, we have a father who is an old man, and his youngest son is a child of his old age. His full brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him very much.'

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:21 - “And you said to us, ‘Bring him here so I can see him with my own eyes.'

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 44:30

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:30 - “And now, my lord, I cannot go back to my father without the boy. Our father's life is bound up in the boy's life.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:1 - Joseph could stand it no longer. There were many people in the room, and he said to his attendants, “Out, all of you!” So he was alone with his brothers when he told them who he was.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:3 - “I am Joseph!” he said to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:4 - “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:8 - So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser[fn] to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:14

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:14 - Weeping with joy, he embraced Benjamin, and Benjamin did the same.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:15

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:15 - Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that they began talking freely with him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:16 - The news soon reached Pharaoh's palace: “Joseph's brothers have arrived!” Pharaoh and his officials were all delighted to hear this.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:23 - He also sent his father ten male donkeys loaded with the finest products of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other supplies he would need on his journey.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 45:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - So Joseph sent his brothers off, and as they left, he called after them, “Don't quarrel about all this along the way!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:1 - So Jacob[fn] set out for Egypt with all his possessions. And when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:6 - They also took all their livestock and all the personal belongings they had acquired in the land of Canaan. So Jacob and his entire family went to Egypt—

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:7 - sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters—all his descendants.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:8 - These are the names of the descendants of Israel—the sons of Jacob—who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob's oldest son.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:15

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:15 - These were the sons of Leah and Jacob who were born in Paddan-aram, in addition to their daughter, Dinah. The number of Jacob's descendants (male and female) through Leah was thirty-three.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:29

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - Joseph prepared his chariot and traveled to Goshen to meet his father, Jacob. When Joseph arrived, he embraced his father and wept, holding him for a long time.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 46:31

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's entire family, “I will go to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘My brothers and my father's entire family have come to me from the land of Canaan.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 47:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:2 - Joseph took five of his brothers with him and presented them to Pharaoh.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 47:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have joined you here,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 47:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:7 - Then Joseph brought in his father, Jacob, and presented him to Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:34 - But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father's sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill the Philistine giant and how the LORD brought a great victory to all Israel as a result?

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:11 - But the officers of Achish were unhappy about his being there. “Isn't this David, the king of the land?” they asked. “Isn't he the one the people honor with dances, singing,
‘Saul has killed his thousands,
and David his ten thousands'?”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 21:12

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:12 - David heard these comments and was very afraid of what King Achish of Gath might do to him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 23:5

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:5 - So David and his men went to Keilah. They slaughtered the Philistines and took all their livestock and rescued the people of Keilah.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 23:13

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:13 - So David and his men—about 600 of them now—left Keilah and began roaming the countryside. Word soon reached Saul that David had escaped, so he didn't go to Keilah after all.

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 23:14

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph. Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn't let Saul find him.

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 24:3

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:3 - At the place where the road passes some sheepfolds, Saul went into a cave to relieve himself. But as it happened, David and his men were hiding farther back in that very cave!

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 24:5

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:5 - But then David's conscience began bothering him because he had cut Saul's robe.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 24:6

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:6 - “The LORD knows I shouldn't have done that to my lord the king,” he said to his men. “The LORD forbid that I should do this to my lord the king and attack the LORD's anointed one, for the LORD himself has chosen him.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box 1Sa 24:7

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - So David restrained his men and did not let them kill Saul.

No one really knows what is going to happen;
no one can predict the future.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 12:5

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:5 - Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral.
