But to Adam he said, "Because you obeyed your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground thanks to you; in painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

He named him Noah, saying, "This one will bring us comfort from our labor and from the painful toil of our hands because of the ground that the Lord has cursed."

So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you."

So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

"I do not know who has done this thing," Abimelech replied. "Moreover, you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today."

"Whose daughter are you?" he asked. "Tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"

When food was served, he said, "I will not eat until I have said what I want to say." "Tell us," Laban said.

Now, if you will show faithful love to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me as well, so that I may go on my way."

Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,

Now then, my son, do exactly what I tell you!

Then Laban said to Jacob, "Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be."

When Jacob saw the look on Laban's face, he could tell his attitude toward him had changed.

There he said to them, "I can tell that your father's attitude toward me has changed, but the God of my father has been with me.

Why did you run away secretly and deceive me? Why didn't you tell me so I could send you off with a celebration complete with singing, tambourines, and harps?

Then Jacob asked, "Please tell me your name." "Why do you ask my name?" the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.

The young man did not delay in doing what they asked because he wanted Jacob's daughter Dinah badly. (Now he was more important than anyone in his father's household.)

He replied, "I'm looking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are grazing their flocks."

They told him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them." Joseph responded, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me."

The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning."

Now go up to my father quickly and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says: "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay!

So tell my father about all my honor in Egypt and about everything you have seen. But bring my father down here quickly!"

The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.

Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father's household, "I will go up and tell Pharaoh, 'My brothers and my father's household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me.

Tell him, 'Your servants have taken care of cattle from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,' so that you may live in the land of Goshen, for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting to the Egyptians."

Jacob called for his sons and said, "Gather together so I can tell you what will happen to you in the future.

Tell Joseph this: Please forgive the sin of your brothers and the wrong they did when they treated you so badly.' Now please forgive the sin of the servants of the God of your father." When this message was reported to him, Joseph wept.
