Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”

hither again: for the iniquity of the
Amorites is not yet full.

But
Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy
maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
“
Here,” said
Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated
Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also
here looked after him that
seeth me?
So
Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “
Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed
sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou
here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and
whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have
anyone else
here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or
anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of
here,
And when the morning arose, then the angels
hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are
here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
At
daybreak the angels
hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are
here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
Now therefore
swear unto me
here by God that thou
wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast
sojourned.
Now, therefore,
swear to me
here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
And it came to pass after these things, that God did
tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold,
here I am.

Abide ye
here with the
ass; and I and the
lad will go
yonder and worship, and come again to you,

here with the
donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”

And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Here I am, standing beside the spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said
Laban. “Why are you standing out
here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a
maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your
jar,’
Behold,
Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were
dim, so that he could not see, he called
Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold,
here am I.

Esau and said to him, “My son.” “
Here I am,”
Esau replied.

And
Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man:
abide with me.
Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay
here with me.”
And
Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the
firstborn.
Laban replied, “It is not our custom
here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.
And she said, Behold my
maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her.

Here is my
maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
With
whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren
discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that
Rachel had
stolen them.
If you find your gods with
anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for
yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that
Rachel had
stolen the idols.
Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it
here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge
betwixt us both.
You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
Laban also said to Jacob, “
Here is the
mound, and
here is the
pillar I have set up between you and me.
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
Only
herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be
circumcised, as they are
circumcised.

circumcised as they are.
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in
Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him,
Here am I.

Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the
harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no
harlot in this place.
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no
harlot in this place.
So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and
furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No
shrine prostitute has been
here.’”
But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

here, my master does not
concern himself with anything in his house, and he has entrusted everything he owns to my care.
For indeed I was
stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and
here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the
dungeon.
For I was
kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even
here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this
dungeon.”
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I
hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of
Canaan to
buy food.
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of
Canaan,” they replied. “We are
here to
buy food.”
Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come
hither.
And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my
sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
“My silver has been returned!” he said to his brothers. “It is
here in my
sack.” Their hearts
sank, and
trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us,
Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren
here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
Then the man who is lord of the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are
honest: Leave one brother with me, take food to
relieve the hunger of your households, and go.
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the
tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
They replied, “The man questioned us in detail about ourselves and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for
bondmen, and our
asses.
But the brothers were
frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought
here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our
donkeys.”
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to
buy food:
“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down
here the first time to
buy food.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
abide instead of the
lad a
bondman to my lord; and let the
lad go up with his brethren.
Now please let your servant stay here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy. Let him return with his brothers.
So now it was not you that sent me
hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall
haste and bring down my father
hither.
Tell my father about all my
splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down
here quickly.”
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo,
here is seed for you, and ye shall
sow the land.
Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day,
here is seed for you to
sow in the land.
And now thy two sons, Ephraim and
Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as
Reuben and
Simeon, they shall be mine.
And now your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you
here shall be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and
Manasseh shall be mine, just as
Reuben and
Simeon are mine.
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the
bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said,
Here am I.
When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the
bush, “Moses, Moses!” “
Here I am,” he answered.
And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not
eloquent, neither
heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
“Please, Lord,” Moses replied, “I have never been
eloquent, neither in the past nor since You have spoken to Your servant, for I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make
heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
But require of them the same
quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are
lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both
yesterday and to day, as
heretofore?
Then the
Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your
quota of bricks
yesterday or
today, as you did before?”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
And he said unto the elders,
Tarry ye
here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
And he said to the elders, “Wait
here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are
here with you.
Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here.
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand
footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
And they rose up early in the morning, and
gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be
here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have
sinned.
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed
sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
And Moses said,
Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our
livestock to die
here?
And he said unto them,
Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with
Balaam.
“
Spend the night
here,”
Balaam replied, “and I will give you the answer that the LORD speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with
Balaam.
Now therefore, I pray you,
tarry ye also
here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Build me
here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams.
Then
Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars
here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and
whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
“Stay
here by your burnt offering while I am gone,”
Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So
Balaam went off to a barren height,
And Balak said unto
Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Then Balak said to
Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you
here to
curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”
And he said unto Balak, Stand
here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD
yonder.
Balaam said to Balak, “Stay
here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
And
Balaam said unto Balak, Build me
here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Then
Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars
here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
And Moses said unto the children of
Gad and to the children of
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit
here?
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds
here for our
livestock and cities for our little ones.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of
Gilead:
Our children, our wives, our
livestock, and all our animals will remain
here in the cities of
Gilead.
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive
here today.
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a
molten image.
And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from
here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a
molten image.”
Ye shall not do after all the things that we do
here this day, every man
whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
You are not to do as we are doing
here today, where
everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a
maid; and yet these are the
tokens of my daughter’s
virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But
here is the proof of her
virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
but also with those who are standing
here with us
today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not
here today.
(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
For you
yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way
here.
And it was told the king of
Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in
hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
And it was reported to the king of
Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come
here tonight to
spy out the land.”
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way
heretofore.
But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between
yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come
hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come
here and
listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
And Joshua said,
Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the
Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the
Hivites, and the
Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel
wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day
fourscore and five years old.
Now behold, as the LORD promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel
wandered in the wilderness. So
here I am
today, eighty-five years old,
Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description
hither to me, that I may cast lots for you
here before the LORD our God.
When you have
mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you
here in the presence of the LORD our God.
And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may
here cast lots for you before the LORD in
Shiloh.
As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you
here in
Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”
And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of
Simeon, these cities which are
here mentioned by name,
From the tribes of Judah and
Simeon, they designated these cities by name
But the
Amorites would dwell in mount
Heres in
Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
And the
Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount
Heres,
Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the
Amorites into forced labor.

Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man
doth come and
enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man
here? that thou shalt say, No.
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if
anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man
here?’ say, ‘No.’”
And
Gideon the son of
Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did
upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are
weary?
And
Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “
Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you
taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your
weary men?’”
And
Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us
detain thee, until we shall have made ready a
kid for thee.
“Please stay
here,”
Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “and we will prepare a young goat for you.”
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto
Samson’s wife,
Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the
riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
So on the fourth day they said to
Samson’s wife, “
Entice your husband to explain the
riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you
invite us
here to
rob us?”
Now there were men lying in wait,
abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson. And he
brake the withs, as a thread of
tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “
Samson, the Philistines are
here!” But he
snapped the bowstrings like a
strand of yarn
seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him
therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson. And there were liers in wait
abiding in the chamber. And he
brake them from off his arms like a thread.
So
Delilah took new ropes,
tied him up with them, and called out, “
Samson, the Philistines are
here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he
snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
