nsb@Genesis:36:2 @ Esau selected his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

nsb@Genesis:36:6 @ Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob.

nsb@Genesis:36:18 @ These were the sons of Oholibamah, Esaus wife: Chief Jeush, Chief Jaalam, and Chief Korah. These were the chiefs who descended from Oholibamah, Esaus wife, the daughter of Anah.

nsb@Genesis:39:9 @ »No one in this house is greater than I. He has kept nothing back from me except you. You are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?«

nsb@Genesis:40:15 @ »I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews. And here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon.«

nsb@Genesis:40:19 @ »In three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you. He will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.«

nsb@Genesis:41:2 @ Suddenly, seven nice-looking well-fed cows came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

nsb@Genesis:42:7 @ Joseph recognized his brothers the moment he saw them. Even so, he acted as if he did not know them and spoke harshly to them: »Where did you come from?« They answered: »From Canaan, to buy food.«

nsb@Genesis:42:24 @ He turned away from them and wept. When he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

nsb@Genesis:43:2 @ When they finished eating the grain they brought from Egypt, Israel said to his sons: »Go back and buy us a little more food.«

nsb@Genesis:43:33 @ To the surprise of Josephs brothers, they were seated in front of him according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest.

nsb@Genesis:43:34 @ They were served food from Josephs table. And Benjamin was given five times as much as each of the others. So Josephs brothers drank with him and had a good time.

nsb@Genesis:44:5 @ »Is this the cup that my master drinks from and that he uses for telling the future? What you have done is evil!«

nsb@Genesis:44:8 @ »You know that we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money we found in the top of our sacks. Why should we steal silver or gold from your masters house?
