Famous Folks in the Bible Trivia Quiz

Answer: Noah

Noah was the wonderful captain of the Ark of the animals. (Genesis 5:32-10:1)

Peter, Judas and Paul are the other foils - all are New Testament folks.

Answer: Serpent

Adam did have a huge serpent problem. (Evidently, Eve and Adam had a bit of an issue with this.) However, "The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life." (Cite Genesis 3:14, English Standard Version of the Bible.)

Moths, frogs and insects may have been an issue, but who am I to say?

Answer: Daniel

Wow! Daniel was blessed. According to the Bible (Daniel 6 v. 24), "The men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones." (All I can say is OUCH)

Adam, Moab and Peter avoided this ordeal.

Answer: Rebecca

I am Rebecca - Isaac's wife and the mother of Jacob and Esau. First mentioned in the genealogy of the descendants of Nahor, Abraham's brother (Genesis 22:20-24).

Rachel and Judith are wonderful Biblical women. Basemath is one of Esau's wives. She was a daughter of Ishmael.

Answer: Nanites

Anakim were giants that lived near the biblical land of Cannan (Genesis 14:5-6). Emites (their name is translated as the "dreaded ones") were a powerful and strong people brought down by the Moabites (Genesis 14:5). Nanites are very small robotic devices used in various ways, often in science fiction stories (be afraid, be very, very afraid!).

Answer: Madrach

Madrach was not one of these martyrs. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were the three young men. According to Scripture, four figures were seen in the fires - three were bound and one was not. It is believed that the fourth was the Lord Jesus.

(Cite Daniel 3:16: before being thrust into the fire, the three replied "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.")

Answer: Zipporah

I am Zipporah. When Moses and I arrived at the inn with our child on the way to tell Pharaoh about the plagues, we had a bit of a problem regarding the Jewish ritual for baby boys. However, we sorted it out! (reference: Exodus 4:24-26.)

Rachel and Sarah were not associated with this story. Venus is a Roman goddess, and thus REALLY not a part of this history!

Answer: Aaron

I am Aaron, brother of Moses and Miriam. I had an episode known as "Chet ha'Egel" or "The Sin of the Calf" (cite Exodus 32:4). The Golden Calf was probably not the best idea according to Scripture. I was later forgiven and named High Priest of the Israelites.

Answer: Lilith

Eve was the mother of human as referenced in Genesis. Medusa and Athena are Greek mythical creatures.

Historically, Lilith was also called a vampire, succubus, eater-of-souls. In Jewish folklore, from "Alphabet of Ben Sira" onwards, Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same earth as Adam.

Michelangelo's beautiful "Temptation and Expulsion" is in Rome's Sistine Chapel. In this depiction, a serpent was intended to represent Lilith, Adam's first wife according to Jewish tradition.

Answer: Jesus

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples before the Passover holiday to show his humility. (Refer to John 13:1-17)
