The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, toward the east, where he placed the man whom he had formed.

The name of the first one is Pishon it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

When the man was asleep, he removed one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh where it had been. Then the LORD God formed the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.

So the LORD God called out to the man, asking him, "Where are you?"

Later, the LORD asked Cain, "Where's your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he answered. "Am I my brother's guardian?"

He journeyed by stages from the Negev to Bethel, the place where his tent had formerly been, between Bethel and Ai,

where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.

After Lot had separated from Abram, the LORD told Abram, "Look off to the north, south, east, and west from where you're living,

So Abram moved his tent and settled beside the oaks of Mamre that are by Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.

"Hagar, servant of Sarai," he asked, "Where are you coming from and where are you going?" She answered, "I am running away from my mistress Sarai."

The men asked him, "Where is your wife Sarah?" "There, in the tent," he replied.

As soon as he finished talking to Abraham, the LORD left and Abraham returned to where he had been sitting.

They called out to Lot and asked, "Where are the men who came to visit you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!"

Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it's a small one. Let me escape there! It's a small one, isn't it? That way I'll stay alive!"

Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD earlier.

Isaac addressed his father Abraham: "My father!" "I'm here, my son," Abraham replied. Isaac asked, "The fire and the wood are here, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?"

After this, Abraham returned to his servants and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham settled.

"I am an alien and an outsider among you. Give me a cemetery among you where I can bury my dead away from my presence."

Now since Ephron the Hittite had taken a seat there among the Hittites, he responded publicly to Abraham where the Hittites and everyone who was entering the gate of his city could hear him:

My master made me swear this oath: "You are not to select a wife for my son from among the daughters of the Canaanites in this land where I live.

This was the same field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites, where Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried.

That's when the LORD appeared to Isaac. "You are not to go down to Egypt," he said. "Instead, you are to settle down in an area within this land where I'll tell you.

So Isaac moved from there and encamped in the Gerar Valley, where he settled.

where one night the LORD appeared to him. "I am the God of your father Abraham," he told him. "Don't be afraid, because I'm with you. I'm going to bless you and multiply your descendants on account of my servant Abraham."

May he give you and your descendants the blessings that he gave Abraham. May you possess the land where you have lived that God gave to Abraham."

Jacob asked them, "My brothers, where are you from?" "We're from Haran," they answered.

Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come out to the field where his flock was

I am the God of Bethel, the place where you consecrated that stone and made a vow to me. Now get up, leave this territory, and return to your native land.'"

Then let's get up and go to Bethel, where I'll build an altar to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who was with me on the road, wherever I went."

After this, God ascended from the place where he had been speaking to him.

Jacob erected a pillar of stone at that very place where God had spoken to him. He poured a drink offering over it, anointed it with oil,

Later on, one of them opened up his sack to give his donkey some fodder after they had stopped at the place where they intended to lodge for the night. There, in the mouth of his sack, was all of his money!
