The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it.

Then the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard,

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.”

So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”

So the Lord God expelled him from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast?

So Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

The Lord regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended.

He also said, “Worthy of praise is the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem!

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building.

So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building the city.

This was the place where he had first built the altar, and there Abram worshiped the Lord.

The Lord’s angel found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert – the spring that is along the road to Shur.

Then the Lord’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.

I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, “so that they will be too numerous to count.”

The Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest time of the day.

So the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so blatant

The two men turned and headed toward Sodom, but Abraham was still standing before the Lord.

The Lord went on his way when he had finished speaking to Abraham. Then Abraham returned home.

Then the Lord rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. It was sent down from the sky by the Lord.
