bbe@Genesis:24:67 @And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.

bbe@Genesis:29:30 @Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.

bbe@Genesis:29:31 @Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.

bbe@Genesis:29:32 @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.

bbe@Genesis:29:33 @Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

bbe@Genesis:30:14 @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.

bbe@Genesis:30:15 @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.

bbe@Genesis:30:16 @In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

bbe@Genesis:33:10 @And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:15 @If a man has two wives, one greatly loved and the other hated, and the two of them have had children by him; and if the first son is the child of the hated wife:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:16 @Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:16 @And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:15 @And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.

bbe@Ruth:4:15 @He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.

bbe@2Samuel:13:2 @And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:4 @And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

bbe@Songs:4:10 @How fair is your love, my sister! How much better is your love than wine, and the smell of your oils than any perfume!

bbe@Songs:4:16 @Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

bbe@Songs:5:1 @I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:2 @I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

bbe@Songs:5:4 @My loved one put his hand on the door, and my heart was moved for him.

bbe@Songs:5:5 @I got up to let my loved one in; and my hands were dropping with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the lock of the door.

bbe@Songs:5:6 @I made the door open to my loved one; but my loved one had taken himself away, and was gone, my soul was feeble when his back was turned on me; I went after him, but I did not come near him; I said his name, but he gave me no answer.

bbe@Songs:5:8 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:9 @What is your loved one more than another, O fairest among women? What is your loved one more than another, that you say this to us?

bbe@Songs:5:10 @My loved one is white and red, the chief among ten thousand.

bbe@Songs:5:16 @His mouth is most sweet; yes, he is all beautiful. This is my loved one, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

bbe@Songs:6:1 @Where is your loved one gone, O most fair among women? Where is your loved one turned away, that we may go looking for him with you?

bbe@Songs:6:2 @My loved one is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to take food in the gardens, and to get lilies.

bbe@Songs:6:3 @I am for my loved one, and my loved one is for me; he takes food among the lilies.

bbe@Songs:6:4 @You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.

bbe@Songs:7:6 @How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.

bbe@Songs:7:9 @And the roof of your mouth like good wine flowing down smoothly for my loved one, moving gently over my lips and my teeth.

bbe@Songs:7:10 @I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.

bbe@Songs:7:11 @Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

bbe@Songs:7:12 @Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.

bbe@Songs:7:13 @The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.

bbe@Songs:8:4 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

bbe@Songs:8:5 @Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

bbe@Songs:8:6 @Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.

bbe@Songs:8:7 @Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

bbe@Songs:8:14 @Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.

bbe@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:

bbe@Isaiah:42:1 @See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:43:4 @Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

bbe@Isaiah:48:12 @Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.

bbe@Isaiah:48:14 @Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Isaiah:54:10 @For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.

bbe@Isaiah:63:9 @It was no sent one or angel, but he himself who was their saviour: in his love and in his pity he took up their cause, and he took them in his arms, caring for them all through the years.

bbe@Isaiah:65:22 @They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:66:10 @Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:

bbe@Jeremiah:2:2 @Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:25 @Do not let your foot be without shoes, or your throat dry from need of water: but you said, There is no hope: no, for I have been a lover of strange gods, and after them I will go.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:33 @With what care are your ways ordered when you are looking for love! so... your ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:1 @They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:2 @Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:30 @And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:2 @And they will put them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, whose lovers and servants they have been, after whom they have gone, to whom they have made prayers, and to whom they have given worship: they will not be put together or placed in the earth; they will be waste on the face of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:7 @I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:20 @Go up to Lebanon and give a cry; let your voice be loud in Bashan, crying out from Abarim; for all your lovers have come to destruction

bbe@Jeremiah:22:22 @All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:14 @Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;

bbe@Jeremiah:31:3 @From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

bbe@Lamentations:1:2 @She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.

bbe@Lamentations:1:19 @I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.

bbe@Lamentations:3:22 @It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

bbe@Lamentations:3:32 @For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:7 @And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:8 @Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:15 @But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:32 @The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

bbe@Ezekiel:16:33 @They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:34 @And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:36 @This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

bbe@Ezekiel:16:37 @For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:5 @And Oholah was untrue to me when she was mine; she was full of desire for her lovers, even for the Assyrians, her neighbours,

bbe@Ezekiel:23:7 @And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:8 @And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:9 @For this cause I gave her up into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians on whom her desire was fixed.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:17 @And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:20 @And she was full of desire for her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses and whose seed is like the seed of horses.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:22 @For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:33:32 @And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument: for they give ear to your words but do them not.

bbe@Daniel:9:4 @And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;

bbe@Daniel:9:23 @At the first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.

bbe@Daniel:10:11 @And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.

bbe@Daniel:10:19 @And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.

bbe@Hosea:2:5 @For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.

bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.

bbe@Hosea:2:10 @And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.

bbe@Hosea:2:12 @And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.

bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:2:19 @And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.

bbe@Hosea:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.

bbe@Hosea:6:4 @O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.

bbe@Hosea:8:9 @For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.

bbe@Hosea:8:13 @He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.

bbe@Hosea:11:4 @I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.

bbe@Hosea:14:4 @I will put right their errors; freely will my love be given to them, for my wrath is turned away from him.

bbe@Amos:5:15 @Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.

bbe@Micah:2:9 @The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.

bbe@Micah:3:2 @You who are haters of good and lovers of evil, pulling off their skin from them and their flesh from their bones;

bbe@Zephaniah:3:17 @The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

bbe@Zechariah:8:17 @Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:8:19 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,
