This is a new series (1-35) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 35 in the Old Testament says: These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
Verse No. 35 in the New Testament says: When they (the Magi) saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
Verse No. 35 in the Noble Quran says: How can ye reject the faith in Allah? seeing that ye were dead, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
----------------------------------
The verse No. 35 in the Old Testament is Genesis 2:4
The verse says: These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
The verse talks about the generations (the account) of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
This is the first time in the Bible to say the LORD God; all the verses before this one used to say God not the LORD God
What about the creation of all that is Between the heavens and the earth
In the process of the Creation, the Bible always says that God created the heavens and the earth while the Quran always says that Allah created the heavens and the earth and "All That is Between Them".
Allah Creates the Heavens and Earth and all that is Between Them
Verse 5:17 says:
...for Allah is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them. he creates what he will (pleases) and Allah has power over all things.
Verse 32:4 says:
"it was Allah, who, in six days created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them"
----------------------------------
The verse No. 35 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:10
In the article 33-34, King Herod sent the Magi to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently, make a careful search for the young child (the Lord Jesus); and when you have found him (As soon as you find him), bring me word again (report to me), that I may come and worship him also. After hearing the king (Herod), they (the Magi) went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.
In this article, Matthew 2:10 says: When they (the Magi) saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
The verse means that the Magi who came from Iran today were rejoiced exceedingly with great joy when they saw the star that was stood over the place where the Child (the Lord Jesus) was.
It is very interesting that the star which the Magi had seen in the east (in Iran today), went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child (the Lord Jesus) was. What kind of star was it? What was its speed? Was its speed the same as that of the Magi? I really have no clue.

Verse No. 35 in the Noble Quran is 2:28,
Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),
The verse says: How can ye reject the faith in Allah? seeing that ye were dead, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
The meaning of verse 2:28
O Mankind! How do you disbelieve in Allah, how astonishing that you disbelieve in Allah when you were dead, and He gave you life,
then He shall make you dead, after your terms of life are completed; He will give you death when your lifespan ends,
then He shall give you life, at the Resurrection,
then to Him you shall be returned!, after resurrection, in the Hereafter whereupon He shall requite you according to your deeds; He shall requite you for your works.
This verse explains the cycle of every man, it says that any man was dead then he became living. Then he will die and will have life again.
It is like that: death then life then death then life.
This means clearly that each one of us was died before getting the life of this world; that we know it and believe in it.
In other word, we were died before we have life.
Herein is an example to simplify how were we died before we have life?
Joseph was born at the 3rd of Jan. 1966; well, where and how was Joseph at the 3rd of Jan. 1965, or 1964 or 1963? He was dead particles on the earth!

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
Wait and you will see.
