Genesis 3:4The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,Genesis 12:13Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”Genesis 20:2Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.Genesis 26:7The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife,” lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”Genesis 27:6Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,Genesis 27:7‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’Genesis 27:8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.Genesis 27:9Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.Genesis 27:10You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”Genesis 27:11Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.Genesis 27:12What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”Genesis 27:13His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”Genesis 27:14He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.Genesis 27:15Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.Genesis 27:16She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.Genesis 27:17She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.Genesis 27:18He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”Genesis 27:19Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”Genesis 27:20Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God gave me success.”Genesis 27:21Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”Genesis 27:22Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”Genesis 27:23He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.Genesis 34:13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,Genesis 34:14and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.Genesis 34:15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;Genesis 34:16then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.Genesis 34:17But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”Genesis 34:18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.Genesis 34:19The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.Genesis 34:20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,Genesis 34:21“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.Genesis 34:22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.Genesis 34:23Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”Genesis 34:24All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.Genesis 34:25It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.Genesis 34:26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.Genesis 34:27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.Genesis 34:28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,Genesis 34:29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.Genesis 34:30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”Genesis 34:31They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”Genesis 37:29Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.Genesis 37:30He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”Genesis 37:31They took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.Genesis 37:32They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son’s coat or not.”Genesis 37:33He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”Genesis 37:34Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.Genesis 37:35All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning.” His father wept for him.Joshua 9:3But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,Joshua 9:4they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins, old and torn and bound up,Joshua 9:5and old and patched shoes on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.Joshua 9:6They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant with us.”Joshua 9:7The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live among us. How could we make a covenant with you?”Joshua 9:8They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”Joshua 9:9They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of Yahweh your God; for we have heard of his fame, all that he did in Egypt,Joshua 9:10and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.Joshua 9:11Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and tell them, “We are your servants. Now make a covenant with us.”’Joshua 9:12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become moldy.Joshua 9:13These wineskins, which we filled, were new; and behold, they are torn. These our garments and our shoes have become old because of the very long journey.”Joshua 9:14The men sampled their provisions, and didn’t ask counsel from the mouth of Yahweh.
