Bible verses about "genesis" | MKJV

¹ And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. ² And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. ³ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife. ⁴ But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will You also kill a righteous nation? ⁵ Did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the sincerity of my heart and innocency of my hands I have done this. ⁶ And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her. ⁷ Now therefore, restore his wife to the man. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours. ⁸ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears. And the men were greatly afraid. ⁹ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? In what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done. ¹⁰ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing? ¹¹ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake. ¹² And yet truly she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife. ¹³ And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. ¹⁴ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife. ¹⁵ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you. Live where it pleases you. ¹⁶ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you, and with all this, you are reproved. ¹⁷ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth. ¹⁸ For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

²⁰ But as for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save a great many people alive.

¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. ² The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. ³ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. ⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish and Kittim and Dodanim. ⁵ By these were the coasts of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. ⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush fathered Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah. Therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah. ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ Out of that land he went forth to Asshur. And he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. ¹³ And Mizraim fathered Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon (as you come to Gerar) to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha. ²⁰ These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem were born, even him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. ²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash, ²⁴ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. ²⁵ And two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal and Abimael and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, a mountain of the east. ³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations. ³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

¹ And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. ² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life, ² (for the Life was revealed, and we have seen it and bear witness, and show to you the everlasting Life, who was with the Father and was revealed to us), ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And we write these things to you so that your joy may be full. ⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

¹ And it happened after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, your father is sick. And he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. ² And one spoke to Jacob, and said, Behold, your son Joseph comes to you. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed. ³ And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me. ⁴ And He said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you. And I will make of you a multitude of people, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession. ⁵ And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who are born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; like Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. ⁶ And your issue, which you father after them, shall be yours, and shall be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance. ⁷ And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still but a little way to come to Ephrath. And I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; it is Bethlehem. ⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? ⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, Please bring them to me, and I will bless them. ¹⁰ And the eyes of Israel were dim for age; he could not see. And he brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought I would see your face, and, lo, God has showed me also your seed. ¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed his face to the earth. ¹³ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel's right hand. And he brought them near to him. ¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left on Manasseh's head, crossing his hands. For Manasseh was the first-born. ¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph and said, May God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who fed me all my life to this day, ¹⁶ the Angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads. And let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow like the fishes into a multitude in the midst of the earth. ¹⁷ And Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it was evil in his eyes. And he held up his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father. For this is the first-born. Put your right hand on his head. ¹⁹ And his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he is, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he put Ephraim before Manasseh. ²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die. But God shall be with you, and bring you again into the land of your fathers. ²² And I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

⁷ If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door; and its desire is for you, and you shall rule over it.

¹ And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. ² Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and rain from heaven was restrained. ³ And the waters returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down. ⁴ And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. ⁵ And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. And the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month on the first day of the month. ⁶ And it happened, at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. ⁷ And he sent forth a raven, and it went out, going out and returning until the waters were dried up from off the earth. ⁸ He also sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth. ⁹ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark. ¹⁰ And he waited yet another seven days. And again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. ¹¹ And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth. ¹² And he waited yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more. ¹³ And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And, behold, the face of the earth was dried! ¹⁴ And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. ¹⁵ And God spoke to Noah, saying, ¹⁶ Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you. ¹⁷ Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth. ¹⁸ And Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. ¹⁹ Every animal, every fowl, and every creeping thing, all which creeps upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark. ²⁰ And Noah built an altar to Jehovah. And he took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. ²¹ And Jehovah smelled a sweet odor. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. And I will not again smite every living thing as I have done. ²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

²⁶ And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. ²⁷ And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without form and empty. And darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light. And there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light, Day. And He called the darkness, Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the expanse, Heavens. And the evening and the morning were the second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land, Earth. And He called the gathering together of the waters, Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth tender sprouts (the herb seeding seed and the fruit tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself) upon the earth; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth tender sprouts, the herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed was in itself. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. ¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars also. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers having a living soul; and let birds fly over the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens. ²¹ And God created great sea-animals, and every living soul that creeps with which the waters swarmed after their kind; and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters of the seas and let the fowl multiply in the earth. ²³ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creepers, and its beasts of the earth after its kind; and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and all creepers upon the earth after their kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. ²⁷ And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold! I have given you every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul every green plant is for food; and it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
