God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
-
God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
-
God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
-
Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
-
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
-
But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
-
Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.
-
That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

The Call of Abram
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
-
From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
-
and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord.
-
When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan.
-
That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
-
No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
-
God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.
-
Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
-
They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
-
But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.)
-
Then Abimelek called Abraham in and said, “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.”
-
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
-
So that place was called Beersheba, because the two men swore an oath there.
-
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.
-
But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
-
So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
-
The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time
