Genesis 9:25

25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”

Genesis 9:26

26 He also said, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

Genesis 9:27

27 May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

Genesis 12:16

16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.

Genesis 14:15

15 During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.

Genesis 18:3

3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by.

Genesis 18:5

5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”

Genesis 19:2

2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”

Genesis 19:19

19 Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die.

Genesis 20:8

8 Early the next morning Abimelek summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid.

Genesis 20:14

14 Then Abimelek brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him.

Genesis 21:25

25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.

Genesis 24:2

2 He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh.

Genesis 24:5

5 The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?”

Genesis 24:9

9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

Genesis 24:10

10 Then the servant left, taking with him ten of his master’s camels loaded with all kinds of good things from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor.

Genesis 24:14

14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”

Genesis 24:17

17 The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”

Genesis 24:34

34 So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

Genesis 24:35

35 The LORD has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

Genesis 24:52

52 When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.

Genesis 24:53

53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother.

Genesis 24:59

59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.

Genesis 24:61

61 Then Rebekah and her attendants got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

Genesis 24:65

65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.

Genesis 24:66

66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done.

Genesis 26:15

15 So all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

Genesis 26:19

19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there.

Genesis 26:24

24 That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”

Genesis 26:25

25 Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.

Genesis 26:32

32 That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!”

Genesis 27:37

37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”

Genesis 30:43

43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

Genesis 32:4

4 He instructed them: “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau: ‘Your servant Jacob says, I have been staying with Laban and have remained there till now.

Genesis 32:5

5 I have cattle and donkeys, sheep and goats, male and female servants. Now I am sending this message to my lord, that I may find favor in your eyes.’ ”

Genesis 32:10

10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.

Genesis 32:16

16 He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.”

Genesis 32:18

18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’ ”

Genesis 32:20

20 And be sure to say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ ” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”

Genesis 33:5

5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. “Who are these with you?” he asked. Jacob answered, “They are the children God has graciously given your servant.”

Genesis 33:14

14 So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the flocks and herds before me and the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.”

Genesis 39:17

17 Then she told him this story: “That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me.

Genesis 39:19

19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.

Genesis 40:20

20 Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:

Genesis 41:10

10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.

Genesis 41:12

12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.

Genesis 41:37

37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.

Genesis 41:38

38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God ?”

Genesis 42:10

10 “No, my lord,” they answered. “Your servants have come to buy food.

Genesis 42:11

11 We are all the sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies.”

Genesis 42:13

13 But they replied, “Your servants were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”

Genesis 43:18

18 Now the men were frightened when they were taken to his house. They thought, “We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks the first time. He wants to attack us and overpower us and seize us as slaves and take our donkeys.”

Genesis 43:28

28 They replied, “Your servant our father is still alive and well.” And they bowed down, prostrating themselves before him.

Genesis 44:7

7 But they said to him, “Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do anything like that!

Genesis 44:9

9 If any of your servants is found to have it, he will die; and the rest of us will become my lord’s slaves.”

Genesis 44:10

10 “Very well, then,” he said, “let it be as you say. Whoever is found to have it will become my slave; the rest of you will be free from blame.”

Genesis 44:16

16 “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants’ guilt. We are now my lord’s slaves—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.”

Genesis 44:17

17 But Joseph said, “Far be it from me to do such a thing! Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave. The rest of you, go back to your father in peace.”

Genesis 44:18

18 Then Judah went up to him and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, let me speak a word to my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are equal to Pharaoh himself.

Genesis 44:19

19 My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’

Genesis 44:21

21 “Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so I can see him for myself.’

Genesis 44:23

23 But you told your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’

Genesis 44:24

24 When we went back to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.

Genesis 44:27

27 “Your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

Genesis 44:30

30 “So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life,

Genesis 44:31

31 sees that the boy isn’t there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow.

Genesis 44:32

32 Your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father. I said, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!’

Genesis 44:33

33 “Now then, please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.

Genesis 45:16

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and all his officials were pleased.

Genesis 46:34

34 you should answer, ‘Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”

Genesis 47:3

3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?” “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.”

Genesis 47:4

4 They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants’ flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”

Genesis 47:19

19 Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”

Genesis 47:25

25 “You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”

Genesis 50:2

2 Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,

Genesis 50:7

7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt—

Genesis 50:17

17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

Genesis 50:18

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
