Abram fared well on her account, and he acquired sheep, oxen, male and female servants, male and female donkeys, and camels.
-
Then Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech and the two made a covenant.
-
Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. “Father!” he said. “Here I am,” he replied. Isaac continued, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?”
-
“My son,” Abraham answered, “God will provide the sheep for the burnt offering.” Then the two walked on together.
-
Looking about, he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep huddled near it, for flocks were watered from that well. A large stone covered the mouth of the well.
-
When all the shepherds were assembled there they would roll the stone away from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back again in its place over the mouth of the well.
-
He inquired further, “Is he well?” “He is,” they answered; “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”
-
Then he said: “There is still much daylight left; it is hardly the time to bring the animals home. Water the sheep, and then continue pasturing them.”
-
While he was still talking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was the one who tended them.
-
As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of Laban, he went up, rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well, and watered Laban’s sheep.
-
Laban asked, “What should I give you?” Jacob answered: “You do not have to give me anything. If you do this thing for me, I will again pasture and tend your sheep.
-
The sheep, on the other hand, Jacob kept apart, and he made these animals face the streaked or completely dark animals of Laban. Thus he produced flocks of his own, which he did not put with Laban’s flock.
-
Now Laban was away shearing his sheep, and Rachel had stolen her father’s household images.
-
I own oxen, donkeys and sheep, as well as male and female servants. I have sent my lord this message in the hope of gaining your favor.’”
-
They took their sheep, cattle and donkeys, whatever was in the city and in the surrounding country.
-
Time passed, and the daughter of Shua, Judah’s wife, died. After Judah completed the period of mourning, he went up to Timnah, to those who were shearing his sheep, in company with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
-
Then Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
-
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, and their donkeys. Thus he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock in that year.
-
Your lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
-
Every firstborn of a donkey you will ransom with a sheep. If you do not ransom it, you will break its neck. Every human firstborn of your sons you must ransom.
-
An altar of earth make for me, and sacrifice upon it your burnt offerings and communion sacrifices, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be invoked I will come to you and bless you.
-
When someone steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for the one ox, and four sheep for the one sheep.
-
If what he stole is found alive in his possession, be it an ox, a donkey or a sheep, he shall make twofold restitution.
-
In every case of dishonest appropriation, whether it be about an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or a garment, or anything else that has disappeared, where another claims that the thing is his, the claim of both parties shall be brought before God; the one whom God convicts must make twofold restitution to the other.
