Genesis 1

26 Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”

27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

29 So God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

30 and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground—to everything in which there is the breath of life—I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it].

31 God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Genesis 6

8 But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 These are the records of the generations (family history) of Noah. Noah was a righteous man [one who was just and had right standing with God], blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walked (lived) [in habitual fellowship] with God.

Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram,
I am your shield; Your reward [for obedience] shall be very great.”

Genesis 16

13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing the back of Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?”

Genesis 18

14 Is anything too difficult or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes, I will return to you and Sarah will have a son.”

Genesis 22

13 Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering (ascending sacrifice) instead of his son.

14 So Abraham named that place The Lord Will See and Provide. And it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be seen and provided.”

Genesis 24

12 And he said, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness (faithfulness) to my master Abraham.

Genesis 32

24 So Jacob was left alone, and a Man (God as an angel) [came and] wrestled with him until daybreak.

25 When the Man saw that He had not prevailed against Jacob, He touched his hip joint; and Jacob’s hip was dislocated as he wrestled with Him.

26 Then He said, “Let Me go, for day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing on me.”

27 So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”

28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel (he who strives with God); for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

Genesis 50

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day].
