From Quiz I Noah Guy Who's Got an Ark

Answer: 3

The Ark was three stories tall and at the top it had a roof with a small opening below it. Interestingly, there was no steering wheel on the Ark, God simply needed it to float and he was made to float, and he steered the Ark at will. Noah was a farmer, but among the reasons God chose him was that he could build ships, and it took Noah about 100 years to build the Ark.

From Quiz The Families of Genesis

Answer: Seth

The name Seth means either anointed or compensation. In a way, Seth was compensation for the death of Abel. Abel was killed by Cain in Genesis 4:8. In the NIV it says, "Now Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let's go out to the field.' While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him." You can first read about Seth in Genesis 4:25 which says, "Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, 'God has granted me another child in place of Abel since Cain killed him.'"(also NIV) (Ilona_Ritter)

From Quiz Bible Literacy 5: Jacob's Children

Answer: Leah

Even though Jacob worked for, and wanted to marry Laban's daughter Rachel, Laban gave his daughter Leah to Jacob instead. According to Laban, custom called for the oldest child to be married first. Reuben and Simeon were the first two children born to Jacob from his first wife, Leah. Upon entering the Promised Land, each one of Jacob's children was given a portion of land for them and their descendants. Because Reuben was the first born, he was given the birthright, but lost it when Jacob learned that his son had committed an indiscretion with Rachel's maidservant Bilhah. His birthright was then given to his nephews, Ephraim and Manasseh. When the Israelites entered Canaan, the tribe of Reuben settled east of the Jordan River where land was fertile. Unfortunately, it also left them open for attack. Jacob's second son, Simeon, never got his own tribal area. Instead, he and his descendants blended in with his brother Judah's tribe.

From Quiz Good, Evil, and Sin: The Wicked Story of Sodom

Answer: Abraham

Abraham is the uncle of Lot, a good man living in the otherwise thoroughly wicked city of Sodom, and for the sake of his nephew pleads with God to consider the possibility of good people living there rather than send down judgment immediately. In Genesis 18:18, God decides to tell Abraham what he will do in Sodom rather than conceal his plans, due to Abraham's relationship with God as the father of the Jewish people.

From Quiz The First Volume of the Bible

Answer: Seth

From Quiz The Patriarchs did WHAT?!

Answer: Sarai became a part of Pharaoh's harem.

Abram was indeed Sarai's brother as they shared the same father. Pharaoh's people showered Abram with gifts to get her to become a part of Pharaoh's household - that is believed to be an euphemism for joining the harem. However, G-d sent the plague onto the Pharaoh's house until the latter realized the truth of the matter, restored Sarai to Abram, and sent the couple away. Interestingly enough, Genesis then repeats a very similar story twice - about Abraham and Sarah, and then about Isaac and Rebecca.

From Quiz Creation According to Genesis 1

Answer: six

There are two primary views of the six days of creation. First there are those who believe that the six days were 24 hours each. Then there are those who believe that the days were anywhere from thousands of years to millions of years each. Personally, I would lean more towards a literal interpretation, but the main point to be conveyed here is that God is the Creator and all that exists is His creation.

From Quiz BBB Bible Series: Genesis

Answer: Six days

"Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." - Genesis 2:1,2 Many doubt we can take the Genesis account of creation literally. The writer of the New Testament book of Hebrews, however, says, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." (Hebrews 11:3)

From Quiz He Said, She Said - in Genesis

From Quiz Genesis: The Beginning of Civilization

Answer: Cain

"Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. 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" - Genesis 4:16-17. As a punishment for murdering his brother Abel, God had sent Cain out of his presence, away from his family and home to be a wanderer and vagabond. Building a city and naming the city after his son may have indicated that Cain had come to recognize the importance of community and the value of family relationships.

From Quiz Uncle Al's Bible Trivia - Genesis #5

Answer: Slew the males as they recovered from circumcision

In Genesis 34:25, the Bible tells of how Simeon and Levi slew the adult males in Shechem. The treachery involved cost both of them when Jacob gave out his blessing on his deathbed many years later. The actions taken were done to defend their sister's honor, but put them all in a precarious position as they were few in a foreign land. God moved Jacob and family to Beth-el shortly thereafter, before the allies of Shechem could possibly seek revenge.
