Yes, It's a Bible Quiz Dealing with 'No'

Answer: Noah

The correct answer is 'No'ah. Noah was the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth, as per Genesis 5:32. According to Scripture, the three sons and their wives were taken aboard the ark and survived a massive flood that covered the world. The account of the flood is found in the seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis.

Answer: Deuteronomy

Yes, Deutero'no'my is the correct answer. The first five books in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Jewish and Christian tradition regards Moses as the author of the first five books of the Bible.

Answer: The first city in the Bible

E'no'ch is the first city mentioned in Scripture. According to the fourth chapter of Genesis, Cain constructed the city after he went into exile after he murdered his brother Abel. According to Scripture, Cain called the city Enoch after his son.

Genesis 4:17 in the NIV explains things this way: "And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son -- Enoch."

Answer: Yes

Yes, there is a place in Scripture called 'No'. Jeremiah 46:25-26, in the NKJV, states: "The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Behold, I will bring punishment on Amon of No, and Pharaoh and Egypt, with their gods and their kings -- Pharaoh and those who trust in him. And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. Afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,' says the LORD."

According to the Web site Christiananswers.net, No was the name of Thebes, the ancient capital of what is called the Middle Empire, in Upper or Southern Egypt. The same Web site states No means the home of Amon.

"The multitude of No (Jeremiah 46:25) is more correctly rendered, as in the Revised Version, 'Amon of No'" Christiananswers.net reports.

The NIV Bible, however, uses the term "Amon god of Thebes" rather than Amon of No.

Answer: People began to call on the name of the LORD.

According to Scripture, it was during the time of E'no'sh that people began to call on the name of the Lord. Genesis 4:26 explains things this way: "And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD."

In regards to the term people calling on the LORD, notes in the NKJV offer this explanation: "These words can hardly mean that only now did people begin to pray to God. Rather, the verb 'call' means 'to make proclamation'. That is, this is the beginning of preaching, of witnessing and testifying in the name of the LORD."

On this same theme, Genesis 12:8 tells of Abram building an altar at Bethel when he "called on the LORD."

Answer: Jacob

Reuben, of course, was the first-born son of Jacob and Leah. In other words, Jacob was the grandfather of Ha'no'ch. Not much is known about Ha'no'ch, however, as he is mentioned only in passing reference in Scripture.

Genesis 46:9, for example, simply states "the sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi."

Answer: Nod

The correct answer is Nod, or 'No'd for the purpose of this quiz.

According to the Web site Christiananswers.net, Nod means "exile; wandering; unrest" and was east of Eden.

Answer: north

The missing word is north, or 'no'rth. Ezekiel 40 right through to Ezekiel 48 is largely about a vision the prophet Ezekiel had involving a new temple and a new law.

According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Ezekiel was a prophet during the time frame 591 to 571 B.C., when the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon. Notes also state Ezekiel ministered in Babylon, at Tel Abib near the Chebar River. The area is in the southeastern section of modern Iraq, northwest of the Persian Gulf.

Answer: snow

Yes, the missing word is s'no'w. Psalm 51 was written by David after Nathan confronted him about committing adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrating the death of her husband Uriah. It's one of the more famous Psalms.

A prayer of repentance, Psalm 51 consists of 19 verses. Psalm 51 has been set to modern music and is performed today in various churches. Here it is in its entirety:

"Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

"For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight --
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

"Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart --
These, O God, You will not despise.

"Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar."

Answer: know

Yes, the missing word is k'no'w. Psalm 46 consists of eleven verses and here it is in its entirety:
"God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah"

According to introductory notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Psalm 46 is a Psalm "of the sons of Korah" and "a Song for Alamoth." The subhead on Psalm 46 is "God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations."
