The word(s) "take" appears 256 time(s) in 240 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(161) Until when death overtakes one of them, he says: Send me back, my Lord, send me back;

(162) O our Lord! take us out of it; then if we return (to evil) surely we shall be unjust.

(163) And (as for) those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, the evidence of one of these (should be taken) four times, bearing Allah to witness that he is most surely of the truthful ones.

(164) Do you not see that Allah drives along the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them up, so that you see the rain coming forth from their midst? And He sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail, afflicting therewith whom He pleases and turning it away from whom He pleases; the flash of His lightning almost takes away the sight.

(165) He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure.

(166) And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.

(167) They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseeming for us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition,

(168) And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Apostle

(169) O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend!

(170) And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an apostle?
