And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.

Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters

And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:

Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;

Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.

Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.

Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.

Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

And God said, As for Sarai, your wife, from now her name will be not Sarai, but Sarah.

Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;

And said, My Lord, if now I have grace in your eyes, do not go away from your servant:

Now Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the time for giving birth.

And Sarah, laughing to herself, said, Now that I am used up am I still to have pleasure, my husband himself being old?

I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.

And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.

And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.

And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.

See now, your servant has had grace in your eyes and great is your mercy in keeping my life from destruction, but I am not able to get as far as the mountain before evil overtakes me and death;

This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?

So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.

And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.

Now Abraham was a hundred years old when the birth of Isaac took place.

And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would have a child at her breast? for see, I have given him a son now when he is old.

Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.

Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.

Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.

And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.

Now the years of Sarah's life were a hundred and twenty-seven.

Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,

Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.

And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:

Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.

And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.

Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.

And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.

Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.

Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.

Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.

And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:

Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.

Now, my son, do what I say.

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.

And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?

So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;

Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?

Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.

And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.

Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.

For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.

Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.

Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.

And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?

Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.

Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?

Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;

And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:

I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
