Genesis 2:18The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”Genesis 2:20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.Genesis 2:23And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”Genesis 2:24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.Genesis 3:16To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”Genesis 18:6So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.”Genesis 24:67And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.Genesis 29:30Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.Genesis 29:31When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.Genesis 29:32And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”Genesis 29:33Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.Genesis 31:14And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?Genesis 31:15Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.Genesis 31:16Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”Genesis 39:7and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”Exodus 4:25But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched it to Moses’ feet. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.Exodus 21:7And if a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as the menservants do.Exodus 21:8If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who had designated her for himself, he must allow her to be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, since he has broken faith with her.Exodus 21:9And if he chooses her for his son, he must deal with her as with a daughter.Exodus 21:10If he takes another wife, he must not reduce the food, clothing, or marital rights of his first wife.Exodus 21:11If, however, he does not provide her with these three things, she is free to go without monetary payment.Numbers 5:14and if a feeling of jealousy comes over her husband and he suspects his wife who has defiled herself—or if a feeling of jealousy comes over him and he suspects her even though she has not defiled herself—Numbers 5:15then he is to bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring for her an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil over it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, an offering of memorial as a reminder of iniquity.Numbers 5:16The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.Numbers 5:17Then he is to take some holy water in a clay jar and put some of the dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.Numbers 5:18After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.Numbers 5:19And he is to put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune to this bitter water that brings a curse.Numbers 5:20But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and have defiled yourself and lain carnally with a man other than your husband’—Numbers 5:21and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.Numbers 5:22May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’Numbers 5:23And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.Numbers 5:24He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and may cause her bitter suffering.Numbers 5:25The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.Numbers 5:26Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.Numbers 5:27When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.Numbers 5:28But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.Numbers 5:29This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,Numbers 5:30or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.Numbers 5:31The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”Numbers 30:6If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,Numbers 30:7and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.Numbers 30:8But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.Numbers 30:9Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.Numbers 30:10If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,Numbers 30:11and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.Numbers 30:12But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.Numbers 30:13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.Numbers 30:14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.Numbers 30:15But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”Numbers 30:16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.Ruth 4:10Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”1 Samuel 25:3His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.1 Samuel 25:14Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.1 Samuel 25:15Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.1 Samuel 25:16They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.1 Samuel 25:17Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”1 Samuel 25:18Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys1 Samuel 25:19and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.1 Samuel 25:20As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.1 Samuel 25:21Now David had just said, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
