And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.

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 Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:

And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:

Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

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

And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.

But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.

And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.

But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.

When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.

By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?

And on the pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower:

With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.

And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen.

And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.

Then take the fat of the sheep, the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and the right leg; for by the offering of this sheep they are to be marked out as priests:

So you are to make holy the breast of the sheep which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, that is, of the sheep which is offered for Aaron and his sons;

Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.

You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

And on the bag they put gold chains, twisted like cords.

With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

And all the fat of it is to be burned on the altar like the fat of the peace-offering; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right for ever, as the Lord has given orders.

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;

To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.

Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.
