2:1 The Lord’s angelic messenger ¹  went up from Gilgal to Bokim. He said, “I brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land I had solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. ²  I said, ‘I will never break my agreement ³  with you, 2:2 but you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You should tear down the altars where they worship.’ ⁴  But you have disobeyed me. ⁵  Why would you do such a thing? ⁶  2:3 At that time I also warned you, ⁷  ‘If you disobey, ⁸  I will not drive out the Canaanites ⁹  before you. They will ensnare you ¹⁰  and their gods will lure you away.’” ¹¹ 

2:4 When the Lord’s messenger finished speaking these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly. ¹² 

6:11 The earth was ruined ¹  in the sight of ²  God; the earth was filled with violence. ³  6:12 God saw the earth, and indeed ⁴  it was ruined, ⁵  for all living creatures ⁶  on the earth were sinful. ⁷  6:13 So God said ⁸  to Noah, “I have decided that all living creatures must die, ⁹  for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy ¹⁰  them and the earth. 6:14 Make ¹¹  for yourself an ark of cypress ¹²  wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover ¹³  it with pitch inside and out. 6:15 This is how you should make it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. ¹⁴  6:16 Make a roof for the ark and finish it, leaving 18 inches ¹⁵  from the top. ¹⁶  Put a door in the side of the ark, and make lower, middle, and upper decks. 6:17 I am about to bring ¹⁷  floodwaters ¹⁸  on the earth to destroy ¹⁹  from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. ²⁰  Everything that is on the earth will die, 6:18 but I will confirm ²¹  my covenant with you. You will enter ²²  the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 6:19 You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, ²³  male and female, to keep them alive ²⁴  with you. 6:20 Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive. ²⁵  6:21 And you must take ²⁶  for yourself every kind of food ²⁷  that is eaten, ²⁸  and gather it together. ²⁹  It will be food for you and for them.

6:22 And Noah did all ³⁰  that God commanded him – he did indeed. ³¹ 

13:3 And he journeyed from place to place ¹  from the Negev as far as Bethel. ²  He returned ³  to the place where he had pitched his tent ⁴  at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai.
