And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.

Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.

And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?

And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all 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.

So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.

And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.

If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.

And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

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.

Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;

Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.

And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.

Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.

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 Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.

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.

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 let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,

That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:

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.

Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.

And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him.

And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.

Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:

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 crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.

Then the men said to Lot, Are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;

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 that night they made their father take much wine; and the older daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.

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 that night again they made their father take much wine; and the younger daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.

And when the child was old enough to be taken from the breast, Abraham made a great feast.

But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.

Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.

But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.

And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.

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.

Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

My lord, truly you are a great chief among us; take the best of our resting-places for your dead; not one of us will keep back from you a place where you may put your dead to rest.

And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.

And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

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

And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.

And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.

And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.

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

And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:

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

And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?

Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?

Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:

And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.

For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.

Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?

And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.

As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.

Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.

Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.

And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.
