Genesis 6. 8. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.13. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 17. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
Genesis 7. 6. Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 10. And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. 11. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis 9.20. Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21. When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
Genesis 9.24. When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,“Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” 26. He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. .27 May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”29. Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
Genesis 10. 8. Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10. The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar.
Genesis 11.1. Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 3. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.4. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” 5. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 .Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” 8. So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9. That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11.31.Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there
Genesis 12. 1.The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
Genesis 12. 5. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. 10. Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
Genesis 12. 11. As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12. When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13. Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
Genesis 12.14. When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman. 15. And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16. He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.
Genesis 12. 17. But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18. So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?” he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20. Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.
Genesis 13. 1.So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. 2. Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.7. And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. 8. So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. 9. Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
Genesis 13.14. The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. 15. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever. 17. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
Genesis 16. 1.Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; 2. so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 4. He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
Genesis 16. 5. Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.” 6. “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.
Genesis 18. 1.The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.9. “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There, in the tent,” he said. 10. Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.
Genesis 18. 11. Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age ofchildbearing. 12. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?” 13. Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14. Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” 16. When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.
