'God' in the Bible

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.

They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

"Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead."

I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your seed.' He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."

I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go --

I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because Yahweh your God gave me success."

God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,

and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."

He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, "I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.

Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,

so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore called she his name Dan.

God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar.

Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun.

God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach."

and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn't allow him to hurt me.

Thus God has taken away your father's livestock, and given them to me.

The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'

I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad."

It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.'

Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you."

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.

Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'

He said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed."

Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, he said, "I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

Jacob said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it.

God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

He isn't greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

The name of the second, he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this, and live, for I fear God.

He said to his brothers, "My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!" Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

He said, "Peace be to you. Don't be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money." He brought Simeon out to them.

He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" He said, "God be gracious to you, my son."

Judah said, "What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord's bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found."

Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don't wait.

Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" He said, "Here I am."

He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Don't be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." He said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them."

Israel said to Joseph, "I didn't think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your seed also."

He blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

He blessed them that day, saying, "In you will Israel bless, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh'" He set Ephraim before Manasseh.

Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

even by the God of your father, who will help you; by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

You shall tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you."' Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

Joseph said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."

But the midwives feared God, and didn't do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.

God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

It happened, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families.

It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Here I am."

Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
