In the King James Version of the Bible, the word "favor" occurs 117 times. More than ten of those are in the Book of Genesis.
Yes, here is one verse:Genesis 6:8New International Version (NIV)8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
While Luke 4:10 references the "year of the Lord's favor" the abbreviation AD does not appear in the Bible. AD is an abbreviation from Anno Domini which translates "in the year of our Lord". This is typically a reference in calendars since the time of Christ or shortly thereafter.
In the New International Version there are 3 - all are in Proverbs:Proverbs 8:35 NIVFor whoever finds me finds life and receives favorfrom the LORDProverbs 12:2 NIVA good man obtains favor from theLORD, but the LORD condemns a crafty manProverbs 18:22 NIVHe who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favorfrom the LORD
The Bible traces the blessings of God to Abraham through "Isaac"... not "Ishmael." The Ishmaelites were slighted, as it were, being the actual "firstborn" of Abraham... yet, "cast out" as they were. It's their contention, therefore, that God's blessings belong to the descendants of Ishmael... not Isaac. This is the cause of the festering animosity of Arabs toward Israel, today. The Bible, therefore, isn't beneficial to their connection to the blessings of God. Its bias is definitely in Israel's favor... so the latter writings of the Q'ran became the word of God to the descendants of Ishmael, and the Bible became the "erroneous writings" of the Jews, which they feel the Q'ran has corrected in their eyes.
