Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the Old Testament of the Jewish and Christian Bible, Abraham is told by God that he would be the father of many nations. Abraham's offspring, by and by, Would outnumber the stars in the Eastern sky. Isaac was his promised boy But who brought Isaac parental joy?

Answer: Jacob and Esau

Abraham was impatient and did not wait for God's promise. Ishmael was born to a handmaid before Isaac was born and history thereafter took a surprising turn!
Isaac married Rebekah and she bore him twin boys.

2. Jacob then to Haran went, To his Uncle Laban's tent For one girl's love Jacob was sick But Laban, by a devious trick, Being clever through and through, Made him marry her sister too! Who were the two sisters Jacob married?

Answer: Rachel and Leah

Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to gain Rachel and then on his wedding night she was replaced by her sister. He then worked for another seven years for Rachel. Fortunately scholars agree that he was allowed to have Rachel after a week and subsequently worked his seven years!

3. Lamech had a righteous son Who saw that something must be done To curb the evil in the land But what? He did not understand Till God told that son what to do To save himself and his three sons too. Who were the three sons?

Answer: Shem Ham and Japheth

Lamech's son was Noah and God told Noah to build the Ark and take refuge from the flood with his family and a selection of animals. In the New Testament Noah hiding in the Ark to save himself from God's anger is likened to believers hiding in the sacrifice of Jesus to be safe from the anger of God.

4. Jochabed was Amram's wife; Pharaoh sought her baby's life. She hid him in the River Nile Where Pharaoh's daughter saw him smile. She took him up before he sank - But who was watching from the bank?

Answer: Miriam

The baby was Moses, who was later to deliver his people from the Egyptians. His mother floated him on the river in a waterproofed basket and committed him to God's care. She told Miriam, Moses' sister, to watch what happened. Miriam offered to find a wet nurse for the child and brought Jochabed to the princess. Thus Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter but nursed by his own mother!

5. Ruth had a much better life When Boaz took her for his wife. Soon they had a little boy- Baby Obed,father's joy. Obed in turn was Jesse's dad, But who was Jesse's kingly lad?

Answer: David

Ruth was loyal and loving. It is interesting that they lived in Bethlehem and Obed was born there since Christians believe he was in fact a direct ancestor of the Lord Jesus.

6. This man had a very long name, But of Royal stock he came, All that was left of the house of Saul. Since his nurse had let him fall, He was lame in both his feet At David's table he did eat. What was his name?

Answer: Mephibosheth

After David's great friend Jonathan, Saul's son, had been killed in battle, David asked if there was anyone left of the house of Saul that he could be kind to for Jonathan's sake. Mephibosheth had been unjustly accused of helping the enemy and so David cared for him for the rest of his life.

7. Uriah had gone off to war, When his fair wife King David saw. He planned for Uriah to lose his life And then he took Uriah's wife! Their baby died but God relented And Solomon was born when David repented. Who was Solomon's son and successor?

Answer: Ephraim and Manasseh

After the famine in their land Jacob and all Joseph's eleven brothers moved to Egypt. He forgave them freely for their wrong treatment of him.

9. My verse Is getting worse So Q9 and Q10 Are in prose again! After God had given Moses the Law on Mount Sinai he told him that the Israelites should teach his laws to their children and their children's children. What else did they have to do?

Mezuza is the Hebrew word for doorpost and Jews are meant to post the commandments on the doorposts of the house. Deut. 6 6 :9

10. In what book of the Old Testament would you find the following verse- "But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him and His righteousness with their children's children."
