GENESIS

 

“In the beginning…everything was engulfed in total darkness…Then God commanded, Let there be light’ – and light appeared. God was pleased with what he saw.” (Genesis 1:1-4 / TEV)

 

“God said, ’Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.' So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so. God called the expanse ’sky.’ There was evening, and there was morning, a second day. God said, ’Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.’ It was so. God called the dry ground ’land’ and the gathered waters he called ’seas.’ God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:6-10 / NET)

 

“Then God said, ’And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us….’ So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female....”  (Genesis 1:26-27 / TEV)

 

“Then the Lord God said to the snake, ’You will be punished for this; you alone of all animals must bear this curse: From now on you will crawl on your belly, and you will have to eat dust as long as you live. I will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head, and you will bite her offspring’s heel.’” (Genesis 3:14-15 / TEV)

 

“The Lord said to Noah, Go into the boat with your whole family; I have found that you are the only one in all the world who does what is right …Seven days from now I am going to send rain that will fall for forty days and nights, in order to destroy all the living beings that I have made.’” (Genesis 7:1-4 / TEV)

 

“God said to Noah and his sons, ’I am now making my covenant with you and your descendants:...I am putting my bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world. Whenever I cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears, I will remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never again destroy all living beings.’” (Genesis 9:8-15 / TEV)

 

“The Lord took him outside and said, Look at the sky and try to count the stars; you will have as many descendants as that….’ and God said, ‘I make this covenant with you: I promise that you will be the ancestor of many nations. Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, because I am making you the ancestor of many nations.’” (Genesis 15:5 and 17:3-5 / TEV)

 

“’Now I know that you honor and obey God, because you have not kept back your only son from him.’ Abraham…saw a ram…got it and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son. Abraham named the place, ’The Lord Provides.’ And even today people say, ’On the Lord’s mountain he provides.’” (Genesis 22:12-14 / TEV)

 

“The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time, ’I make a vow by my own name - the Lord is speaking - that I will richly bless you. Because you did this and did not keep back your only son from me, I promise that I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore….’” (Genesis 22:15-17 / TEV)

 

EXODUS

 

“God said, I am who I am. You must tell them: The one who is called I AM….’” (Exodus 3:14 / TEV)

 

“God spoke, and these were his words: I am the Lord your God…. Worship no god but me.’” (Exodus 20:1-3 / TEV)

 

“Do not use my name for evil purposes, for I, the Lord your God, will punish anyone who misuses my name.” (Exodus 20:7 / TEV)

“Do not spread false rumors, and do not help a guilty person by giving false testimony.” (Exodus 23:1 / TEV)

 

“Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice.” (Exodus 23:2 / TEV)

 

“Do not make false accusations, and do not put an innocent person to death, for I will condemn anyone who does such an evil thing.” (Exodus 23:7 / TEV)

 

“Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe makes people blind to what is right and ruins the cause of those who are innocent.” (Exodus 23:8 / TEV)

 

“I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” (Exodus 33:19-20 / NLT)
