New International Version

¹⁶He called down famine^(A) on the land
    and destroyed all their supplies of food;
¹⁷and he sent a man before them—
    Joseph, sold as a slave.^(B)
¹⁸They bruised his feet with shackles,^(C)
    his neck was put in irons,
¹⁹till what he foretold^(D) came to pass,
    till the word^(E) of the Lord proved him true.

    the ruler of peoples set him free.^(F)

    ruler over all he possessed,
²²to instruct his princes^(G) as he pleased
    and teach his elders wisdom.^(H)

New International Version

Esau’s Descendants^(A)^(B)

36 This is the account^(C) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).^(D)

²Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:^(E) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,^(F) and Oholibamah^(G) daughter of Anah^(H) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite^(I)— ³also Basemath^(J) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.^(K)

⁴Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,^(L) ⁵and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.^(M) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.

⁶Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,^(N) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.^(O) ⁷Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.^(P) ⁸So Esau^(Q) (that is, Edom)^(R) settled in the hill country of Seir.^(S)

Acts 18:24-28

New International Version

²⁴Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos,^(A) a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.^(B) He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. ²⁵He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor^[a]^(C) and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.^(D) ²⁶He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila^(E) heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

²⁷When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia,^(F) the brothers and sisters^(G) encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. ²⁸For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures^(H) that Jesus was the Messiah.^(I)
