Now the man had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, "I have created a man just as the Lord did!"

After Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son just like him, that is, according to his own likeness, and named him Seth.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

And Jehovah will say to Noah, Come thou, and all thy house into the ark, for thee I saw just to my face in this generation.

two of each, male and female, entered the ark with Noah, just as God had commanded him.

Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered just as God had commanded him. Then the Lord shut him in.

And the Lord smelled the soothing aroma and said to himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of their minds is evil from childhood on. I will never again destroy everything that lives, as I have just done.

"Every living, moving creature will be food for you. Just as I gave you green plants before, so now you have everything.

So Abram left, just as the Lord had told him to do, and Lot went with him. (Now Abram was 75 years old when he departed from Haran.)

And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him.

Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him.

For I have known (chosen, acknowledged) him [as My own], so that he may teach and command his children and [the sons of] his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is righteous and just, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has promised him.”

And Abraham will draw near, and will say, Wilt thou also destroy the just with the wicked

Perhaps there is fifty just in the midst of the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty just which are within it?

You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”

And Jehovah will say, If I shall find in Sodom fifty just, in the midst of the city, I forgive all the place for their sakes.

If the fifty just shall lack five: wilt thou destroy for sake of five all the city? And he will say, I will not destroy, if I shall find there forty and five.

He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."

Look, this town over here is close enough to escape to, and it's just a little one. Let me go there. It's just a little place, isn't it? Then I'll survive."

The sun had just risen over the land as Lot reached Zoar.

Now Abimelech had not yet come near her; so he said, “Lord, will you kill a people who are righteous and innocent and blameless [regarding Sarah]?

The LORD came to Sarah, just as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised.

On the eighth day after his son Isaac had been born, Abraham circumcised him, just as God had commanded him.

Therefore swear an oath here by God that you won't deal falsely with me, my sons, or my descendants. Just as I've dealt graciously with you, won't you do so with me and with the land in which you live as a foreigner?"

Just then, an angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am," he answered.

"Don't lay your hand on the youth!" he said. "Don't do anything to him, because I've just demonstrated that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only unique one, from me."

If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you'll be free from this oath to me. Just don't take my son back there!"

Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as the Lord has spoken.”

And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.

And Jacob said, - Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.

And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, - and sold his birthright to Jacob.

that you may not do us harm just as we have not touched you, but have only done good to you and sent you away in peace. You [are] now blessed by Yahweh."

That very same day, Isaac's servants arrived and reported to him about a well that they had just completed digging. "We've found water!" they said.

Then prepare some food, just the way I like it, and bring it to me so that I can eat and bless you before I die."

Go to the flock and take two good young goats from it for me, and I will prepare them [as] tasty food for your father, just as he likes.

His mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.”

So out he went, got them, and brought them to his mother, who then prepared some delicious food, just the way his father liked it.

And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.

Isaac began to shake violently and asked, "Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. He will indeed be blessed!"

Rebekah also told herself, "Heth's daughters are making me tired of living. If Jacob marries one of Heth's daughters, and she turns out to be just like these other local women, what kind of life would there be left for me?"

Then Laban said to Jacob, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?”

And Jacob did just that. He finished the week of celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

He added, "Just name your wages -- I'll pay whatever you want."

Jacob responded, "You don't have to give me anything. Just do this for me: Let me tend your flock again and watch over it. Let me walk among your flocks today and remove every speckled or spotted sheep, along with every black lamb, and let me do the same with the speckled and spotted goats. These will be my wages.

Jacob also noticed that the way Laban had been looking at him wasn't as nice as it had been just two days earlier.

and informed them, "I've noticed that the way your father has been looking at us hasn't been as nice as it was just two days ago. But my father's God has been with me.

Come, let's make a covenant just between you and me. And let it serve as a witness between you and me."

I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh.

Just then Jacob's sons arrived from the field. When they heard what had happened, they were distraught with grief and livid with anger toward Shechem, because he had committed a disgraceful deed in Israel by forcing Jacob's daughter to have sex, an act that never should have happened.

Shechem also addressed Dinah's father and brothers. He told them, "If you'll just approve me, I'll give whatever you ask of me.

Demand of me a high compensation and gift; I’ll give you whatever you ask me. Just give the girl to be my wife!”

But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.

Just before she died, Rachel called her son's name Ben-oni, but his father Jacob named him Benjamin.

Then Judah suggested to his brothers, "Where's the profit in just killing our brother and shedding his blood?

Judah recognized the articles, and said, “She has been more righteous [in this matter] than I, because I did not give her to my son Shelah [as I had promised].” And Judah did not have [intimate] relations with her again.

In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand the way you used to when you were his cupbearer.

In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from off you—and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh from your body.”

On the third day, which just happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, he threw a party for all his servants. He lifted the head of both his senior security advisor and of his head chef in front of his servants

But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had explained to them.

And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

Lo, seven other cows came up after them, very ugly and gaunt [just skin and bones]; such emaciated animals as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.

Not only that," Pharaoh continued, "after they had finished devouring the cows, nobody could tell that they had gobbled them up, because they were just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.

This is the message just as I have told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in every country, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food.

But Joseph kept insisting, "It's just as I've said you've come here to spy on our unguarded territories!"

"I'm right!" Joseph insisted. "Just as I said, you're spies!

Just be sure to bring your youngest brother back to me so what you've claimed can be verified. That way, you won't die."

They said, "The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"

The man did just as Joseph said; he brought the men into Joseph's house.

They had just gone out of the city, and were not far off, when Joseph said to his house steward, “Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?

"Agreed," he responded. "Just as you've said, the one who is found to have it in his possession will become my slave, and the rest of you will be innocent."

Then Judah approached him and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word with you. Please do not get angry with your servant, for you are just like Pharaoh.

Joseph wept aloud, and the Egyptians [who had just left him] heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it.

Pharaoh said to Joseph's brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did."

Joseph settled his father and brothers, assigning them their own land in the best part of Egypt (in the territory of Rameses), just as Pharaoh had ordered.

When Jacob was told, "Your son Joseph has just come to you," Israel regained strength and sat up on his bed.

Your two sons born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt are now mine. Ephraim and Manasseh belong to me just as Reuben and Simeon do.

Just then, Israel saw Joseph's sons and asked, "Who are these?"

I'll never join their council; I'll never enter their assembly. In their anger they committed murder and lamed cattle just for fun.

Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear."

Thus his sons did to him just as he had instructed them.

The overseers insisted, “Finish your assigned work each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”

So Moses and Aaron did this; they did just as the Lord commanded them.

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded; in the sight of Pharaoh and his officials, he raised the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile was turned to blood.

But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts and enchantments; so Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said.

Moses said, "It will be just as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God. The frogs will leave you, your house, your officials, and your people. They'll remain only in the Nile River."

The LORD did just as Moses asked, and the frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards, and in the fields.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was [temporary] relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen or pay attention to them, just as the Lord had said.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the [supernatural] finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

We must go a three-day journey into the desert, and we'll offer sacrifices to the LORD our God just as he has told us."

But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen or pay attention to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.

And Pharaoh will send and call for Moses and for Aaron, and will say to them, I sinned this time: Jehovah is just, and I and my people unjust

Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God! Who specifically are the ones that are going?”

{No indeed}; [just] the men go and serve Yahweh, since this [is what] you [are] seeking." And he drove them out from the presence of Pharaoh.

Moses said, "Just as you have said, I won't see your face again!"

When you enter the land that the LORD will give you, just as he promised, you are to observe this ritual.
