Genesis 25:21-23a

And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD was
intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled within
her. And she said, "If it be so, why am I thus?" And she went to inquire of the LORD.

And the LORD said unto her, "Two nations are in thy womb ..."

Exodus 21:22-24

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no
mischief follow, he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay
upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then
thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Psalm 139:13 [from the 1901 American Standard Version]

For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst cover me [footnote: "Or, knit me together"]
in my mother's womb.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Luke 1:15

"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong
drink. And he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

Luke 1:36

"And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and
this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."

Luke 1:41-44

And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation [that is, greeting] of Mary,
the babe leaped in her womb: and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. And she
spake out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the
babe leaped in my womb for joy."

Hebrews 13:2

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares.

Ecclesiastes 11:5

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the
womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the works of God who
maketh all.

[Note: Ecclesiastes 11:5 is capable of an interesting alternate-reading. If the first two phrases are
combined into one, the resultant translation is, "Just as you do not know how the spirit enters
the bones of the one growing in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the
works of God, the Maker of all things."]

James 2:26

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Job 10:10-11

Hast Thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? Thou hast
clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me [or, "knit me together"] with bones
and sinews.
