For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.

And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:

With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.

And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.

Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.

Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.

Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:

And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.

Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.

Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.

Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

And he said, Take a young cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a sheep of three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.

As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place.

And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to him, and said, I am God, Ruler of all; go in my ways and be upright in all things,

And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:

And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.

And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.

And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.

And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.

This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.

Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,

And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.

And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.

And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.

Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.

But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.

And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.

But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.

See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.

Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.

But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.

And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.

And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;

Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:

And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.

Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.

So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;

But go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and there get yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

So Jacob went out from Beer-sheba to go to Haran.

And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you.

Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.

And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.

I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.

And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?

They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.

Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:

These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.

And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.

Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at Seir.

Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?

And he said to him, Go now, and see if your brothers are well and how the flock is; then come back and give me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.

And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him.

Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother.

But Onan, seeing that the offspring would not be his, went in to his brother's wife, but let his seed go on to the earth, so that he might not get offspring for his brother.

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.

But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;

And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.

And he said, I have had news that there is grain in Egypt: go down there and get grain for us, so that life and not death may be ours.

But in this way will you be put to the test: by the life of Pharaoh, you will not go away from this place till your youngest brother comes here.

If you are true men, let one of you be kept in prison, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

And the ruler of the land said, In this way I may be certain that you are true men; let one of you be kept here with me, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow.

And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.

If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:

But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
