New International Reader’s Version (2282 Treffer)

1Mo 1,2 The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 1Mo 2,5 At that time, bushes had not yet appeared on the earth. Plants had not started to grow. The LORD God had not sent rain on the earth. And there was no one to farm the land. 1Mo 2,9 The LORD God made every kind of tree grow out of the ground. The trees were pleasing to look at. Their fruit was good to eat. There were two trees in the middle of the garden. One of them had fruit that let people live for ever. The other had fruit that let people tell the difference between good and evil. 1Mo 3,6 The woman saw that the tree’s fruit was good to eat and pleasing to look at. She also saw that it would make a person wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. And he ate it. 1Mo 4,7 Do what is right and then you will be accepted. If you don’t do what is right, sin is waiting at your door to grab you. It desires to control you. But you must rule over it.’ 1Mo 4,17 Cain loved his wife and slept with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city. He named it after his son Enoch. 1Mo 7,11 Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky. 1Mo 8,2 The springs at the bottom of the oceans had been closed. The windows of the sky had also been closed. And the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 1Mo 8,3 The water on the earth continued to go down. At the end of the 150 days the water had gone down. 1Mo 12,6 Abram travelled through the land. He went as far as the large tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were living in the land. 1Mo 12,7 The LORD appeared to Abram at Shechem. He said, ‘I will give this land to your family who comes after you.’ So Abram built an altar there to honour the LORD, who had appeared to him. 1Mo 12,10 Abram goes to Egypt At that time there was not enough food in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while. 1Mo 13,4 There he called on the name of the LORD at the altar he had built. 1Mo 13,7 The people who took care of Abram’s herds and those who took care of Lot’s herds began to argue. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. 1Mo 13,18 So Abram went to live near the large trees of Mamre at Hebron. There he pitched his tents and built an altar to honour the LORD. 1Mo 14,12 They carried away Abram’s nephew Lot and the things he owned. Lot was living in Sodom at that time. 1Mo 15,5 The LORD took Abram outside and said, ‘Look up at the sky. Count the stars, if you can.’ Then he said to him, ‘That’s how many children will be born into your family.’ 1Mo 17,17 Abraham fell with his face to the ground. He laughed and said to himself, ‘Can a 100-year-old man have a son? Can Sarah have a child at the age of 90?’ 1Mo 18,1 Three men visit Abraham The LORD appeared to Abraham near the large trees of Mamre. Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent. It was the hottest time of the day. 1Mo 18,10 Then one of them said, ‘I will surely return to you about this time next year. Your wife Sarah will have a son.’ Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 1Mo 18,14 Is anything too hard for me? I will return to you at the appointed time next year. Sarah will have a son.’ 1Mo 19,1 The Lord destroys Sodom and Gomorrah The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening. Lot was sitting near the gate of the city. When Lot saw the angels, he got up to greet them. He bowed down with his face to the ground. 1Mo 19,11 Then they made the men who were at the door of the house blind. They blinded both young and old men so that they couldn’t find the door. 1Mo 21,2 Sarah became pregnant. She had a son by Abraham when he was old. The child was born at the exact time God had promised. 1Mo 21,22 The agreement at Beersheba At that time Abimelek and his army commander, Phicol, spoke to Abraham. They said to Abraham, ‘God is with you in everything you do. 1Mo 21,32 After the agreement had been made at Beersheba, Abimelek went back to the land of the Philistines. His army commander, Phicol, went with him. 1Mo 23,2 She died at Kiriath Arba. Kiriath Arba is also called Hebron. It’s in the land of Canaan. Sarah’s death made Abraham very sad. He went to the place where her body was lying. There he wept over her. 1Mo 23,9 Ask him to sell me the cave of Machpelah. It belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price. I want it as a place to bury my dead wife among you.’ 1Mo 23,19 Then Abraham buried his wife Sarah. He buried her in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in the land of Canaan. Mamre is at Hebron. 1Mo 25,11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. At that time Isaac was living near Beer Lahai Roi. 1Mo 25,27 The boys grew up. Esau became a skilful hunter. He liked the open country. But Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. 1Mo 27,42 Rebekah was told what her elder son Esau had said. So she sent for her younger son Jacob. She said to him, ‘Your brother Esau is planning to get back at you by killing you. 1Mo 27,43 Now then, my son, do what I say. Run away at once to my brother Laban in Harran. 1Mo 28,2 Go at once to Paddan Aram. Go to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Find a wife for yourself there. Take her from among the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban. 1Mo 29,34 She became pregnant again. She had a son. Then she said, ‘Now at last my husband will value me. I have had three sons by him.’ So the boy was named Levi. 1Mo 31,8 Sometimes Laban would say, “The speckled ones will be your pay.” Then all the flocks had little ones with speckles. At other times he would say, “The striped ones will be your pay.” Then all the flocks had little ones with stripes. 1Mo 31,24 Then God came to Laban, the Aramean, in a dream at night. He said to him, ‘Be careful. Do not say anything to Jacob, whether it is good or bad.’ 1Mo 31,40 And what was my life like? The heat burned me in the daytime. And it was so cold at night that I froze. I couldn’t sleep. 1Mo 33,18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in Canaan. He camped where he could see the city. 1Mo 35,4 So they gave Jacob all the statues of false gods they had. They also gave him their earrings. Jacob buried those things under the oak tree at Shechem. 1Mo 35,7 Jacob built an altar at Luz. He named the place El Bethel. There God made himself known to Jacob when he was running away from his brother. 1Mo 35,13 Then God left him at the place where he had talked with him. 1Mo 35,14 Jacob set up a sacred stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured out a drink offering on it. He also poured olive oil on it. 1Mo 37,14 So Israel said to him, ‘Go to your brothers. See how they are doing. Also see how the flocks are doing. Then come back and tell me.’ So he sent him away from the Hebron Valley. Joseph arrived at Shechem. 1Mo 37,32 They took the robe back to their father. They said, ‘We found this. Take a look at it. See if it’s your son’s robe.’ 1Mo 38,1 Judah and Tamar At that time, Judah left his brothers. He went down to stay with a man named Hirah from the town of Adullam. 1Mo 38,5 She had still another son. She named him Shelah. He was born at Kezib. 1Mo 38,12 After a long time Judah’s wife died. She was the daughter of Shua. When Judah got over his sadness, he went up to Timnah. His friend Hirah from Adullam went with him. Men were clipping the wool from Judah’s sheep at Timnah. 1Mo 38,14 So she took off her widow’s clothes. She covered her face with a veil so people wouldn’t know who she was. Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim. Enaim is on the road to Timnah. Tamar knew that Shelah had grown up. But she hadn’t been given to him as his wife. 1Mo 38,21 He asked the men who lived at Enaim, ‘Where’s the temple prostitute? She used to sit beside the road here.’ ‘There hasn’t been any temple prostitute here,’ they said. 1Mo 38,29 But he pulled his hand back, and his brother came out first instead. She said, ‘Just look at how you have forced your way out!’ So he was called Perez. 1Mo 42,1 Joseph’s brothers go down to Egypt Jacob found out that there was corn in Egypt. So he said to his sons, ‘Why do you just keep looking at one another?’ 1Mo 43,13 Also take your brother. Go back to the man at once. 1Mo 43,16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he spoke to the manager of his house. ‘Take these men to my house,’ he said. ‘Kill an animal and prepare a meal. I want them to eat with me at noon.’ 1Mo 43,19 So they went up to Joseph’s manager. They spoke to him at the entrance to the house. 1Mo 43,21 We opened our sacks at the place where we stopped for the night. Each of us found in our sacks the exact amount of the money we had paid. So we’ve brought it back with us. 1Mo 43,25 The brothers prepared their gifts for Joseph. He was planning to arrive at noon. They had heard that they were going to eat there. 1Mo 43,33 The brothers had been given places in front of Joseph. They had been seated in the order of their ages, from the eldest to the youngest. That made them look at each other in great surprise. 1Mo 46,2 God spoke to Israel in a vision at night. ‘Jacob! Jacob!’ he said. ‘Here I am,’ Jacob replied. 1Mo 48,3 Jacob said to Joseph, ‘The Mighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan. He blessed me there. 1Mo 49,23 Mean people shot arrows at him. They shot at him because they were angry. 1Mo 50,26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. They prepared his body to be buried. Then he was placed in a casket in Egypt. 2Mo 1,14 The people suffered because of their hard labour. The slave drivers forced them to work with bricks and mud. And they made them do all kinds of work in the fields. The Egyptians didn’t show them any pity at all. They made them work very hard. 2Mo 2,11 Moses escapes to Midian Moses grew up. One day, he went out to where his own people were. He watched them while they were hard at work. He saw an Egyptian hitting a Hebrew man. The man was one of Moses’ own people. 2Mo 3,6 He continued, ‘I am the God of your father. I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.’ When Moses heard that, he turned his face away. He was afraid to look at God. 2Mo 4,10 Moses spoke to the LORD. He said, ‘Lord, I’ve never been a good speaker. And I haven’t got any better since you spoke to me. I don’t speak very well at all.’ 2Mo 4,27 The LORD said to Aaron, ‘Go into the desert to see Moses.’ So Aaron greeted Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 2Mo 5,21 They said to Moses and Aaron, ‘We want the LORD to look at what you have done! We want him to judge you for it! We are like a very bad smell to Pharaoh and his officials. You have given them an excuse to kill us with their swords.’ 2Mo 5,23 I went to Pharaoh to speak to him in your name. Ever since then, he has brought nothing but trouble on these people. And you haven’t saved your people at all.’ 2Mo 8,26 But Moses said, ‘That wouldn’t be right. The sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God wouldn’t be accepted by the Egyptians because of their beliefs. For that reason, they would throw stones at us and try to kill us. 2Mo 9,18 So at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm ever to fall on Egypt in its entire history. 2Mo 11,5 Every eldest son in Egypt will die. The eldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, will die. The eldest son of every female slave, who works at her hand mill, will die. All the male animals born first to their mothers among the cattle will also die. 2Mo 11,7 But among the Israelites not even one dog will bark at any person or animal.” Then you will know that the LORD treats Egypt differently from us. 2Mo 12,16 On the first and seventh days, come together for a sacred assembly. Do not work at all on these days. The only thing you are allowed to do is prepare food for everyone to eat. 2Mo 12,21 Then Moses sent for all the elders of Israel. He said to them, ‘Go at once. Choose the animals for your families. Each family must kill a Passover lamb. 2Mo 12,29 At midnight the LORD struck down every eldest son in Egypt. He killed the eldest son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne. He killed all the eldest sons of prisoners. He also killed all the male animals born first to their mothers among the livestock. 2Mo 12,41 Then all the LORD’s people marched out of Egypt like an army. That happened at the end of the 430 years, to the exact day. 2Mo 13,10 Obey this law at the appointed time year after year. 2Mo 13,20 The people left Sukkoth. They camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. 2Mo 13,21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud. It guided them on their way. At night he led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light. So they could travel by day or at night. 2Mo 13,22 The pillar of cloud didn’t leave its place in front of the people during the day. And the pillar of fire didn’t leave its place at night. 2Mo 14,27 So Moses reached out his hand over the sea. At sunrise the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians tried to run away from the sea. But the LORD swept them into it. 2Mo 17,1 Water out of the rock The whole community of Israel started out from the Desert of Sin. They travelled from place to place, just as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim. But there wasn’t any water for the people to drink. 2Mo 17,4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD. He said, ‘What am I going to do with these people? They are almost ready to kill me by throwing stones at me.’ 2Mo 17,6 I will stand there in front of you by the rock at Mount Horeb. Hit the rock. Then water will come out of it for the people to drink.’ So Moses hit the rock while the elders of Israel watched. 2Mo 17,8 Joshua wins the battle over the Amalekites The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 2Mo 18,26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses. But they decided the easy ones themselves. 2Mo 19,17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God. They stood at the foot of the mountain. 2Mo 21,28 ‘Suppose a bull kills a man or woman with its horns. Then you must kill the bull by throwing stones at it. Its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held accountable. 2Mo 22,2 ‘Suppose you catch a thief breaking into your house at night. And suppose you hit the thief and the thief dies. Then you are not guilty of murder. 2Mo 22,25 ‘Suppose you lend money to one of my people among you who is in need. Then do not treat it like a business deal. Do not charge any interest at all. 2Mo 23,15 ‘Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days, eat bread made without yeast, just as I commanded you. Do it at the appointed time in the month of Aviv. You came out of Egypt in that month. ‘You must not come to worship me with your hands empty. 2Mo 24,4 Then Moses wrote down everything the LORD had said. Moses got up early the next morning. He built an altar at the foot of the mountain. He set up 12 stone pillars. They stood for the 12 tribes of Israel. 2Mo 25,18 Make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 2Mo 25,30 Put the holy bread on the table. It must be near my holy throne on the ark of the covenant law at all times. 2Mo 26,9 Join five of the curtains together into one set. Do the same thing with the other six. Fold the sixth curtain in half at the front of the tent. 2Mo 26,12 Let the extra half curtain hang down at the rear of the holy tent. 2Mo 26,23 Make two frames for the corners at the far end. 2Mo 26,24 At those two corners the frames must be double from top to bottom. They must be fitted into a single ring. Make both of them the same. 2Mo 26,27 Make five for the frames on the other side. And make five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the holy tent.
