Genesis 3:14
3:14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all the wild beasts
and all the living creatures of the field!
On your belly you will crawl
and dust you will eat all the days of your life.
Genesis 8:9
8:9 The dove could not find a resting place for its feet because water still covered
the surface of the entire earth, and so it returned to Noah
in the ark. He stretched out his hand, took the dove,
and brought it back into the ark.
Genesis 37:22
37:22 Reuben continued,
“Don’t shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.”
(Reuben said this
so he could rescue Joseph
from them
and take him back to his father.)
Genesis 42:38
42:38 But Jacob
replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left.
If an accident happens to him on the journey you have to make, then you will bring down my gray hair
in sorrow to the grave.”
