Genesis 21.1-7 | The Promise Study Edition | Contemporary English Version

Sarah Has a Son

21 The Lord was good to Sarah and kept his promise. 2 Although Abraham was very old, Sarah had a son exactly at the time God had said. 3 Abraham named his son Isaac, 4 and when the boy was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, just as the Lord had commanded.
5 Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born, 6 and Sarah said, “God has made me laugh.[a] Now everyone will laugh with me. 7 Who would have dared to tell Abraham that someday I would have a child? But in his old age, I have given him a son.”

Exodus 1.9-11 | The Promise Study Edition | Contemporary English Version

9  and he told the Egyptians: There are too many of those Israelites in our country, and they are becoming more powerful than we are.  10  If we don’t outsmart them, their families will keep growing larger. And if our country goes to war, they could easily fight on the side of our enemies and escape from Egypt. 11  The Egyptians put slave bosses in charge of the people of Israel and tried to wear them down with hard work. Those bosses forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses, [b]  where the king [ c ]  could store his supplies.

Genesis 1.24-31 - The Promise Study Edition Contemporary English Version

"God said, "I command the earth to give life to all kinds of tame animals, wild animals, and reptiles," And that's what happened. God made every one of them.

So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. God gave them his blessing and said: Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the births in the sky, and every animal on the earth. I have provided all kinds of fruit and grain for you to ear. And I have the green plants as good for everything else that breathes. These will be food for animals, both wild and tame, and for birds. God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good! Evening came and then morning - that was the sixth day. Genesis 1.24-31   The Promise S...

At Mount Sinai 19  1-2  The Israelites left Rephidim. [ a ]  Then two months after leaving Egypt, they arrived at the desert near Mount Sinai, where they set up camp at the foot of the mountain. 3  Moses went up the mountain to meet with the  Lord  God, who told him to say to the people: 4  You saw what I did in Egypt, and you know how I brought you here to me, just as a mighty eagle carries its young.  5  Now if you will faithfully obey me, you will be my very own people. The whole world is mine,  6  but you will be my holy nation and serve me as priests. Moses, that is what you must tell the Israelites. 7  After Moses went back, he reported to the leaders what the  Lord  had said,  8  and they promised, “We will do everything the  Lord  has commanded.” So Moses told the  Lord  about this. 9  The  Lord  said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud an...
