Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Using the New King James Version Bible, the first mention of the number eight hundred appears in Genesis 5:4. What is the missing name of the man for this verse: "After he begot Seth, the days of ______ were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters."

Answer: Adam

Adam is the correct answer. Going by Scripture, Adam was one hundred and thirty years old when he begot Seth and lived an additional eight hundred years.

Genesis 5:3-5 explains things this way: "And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died."

Scripture states Adam was the first person created by God. Later, God would create Eve.

2. The second mention of the number eight hundred is in Genesis 5:19. What is the missing name of the man for this verse: "After he begot Enoch, _____ lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters."

Answer: Jared

Jared is the missing name from the Bible verse. After becoming the father of Enoch, Jared lived for an additional eight hundred years, according to Scripture. Genesis 5:22 states he died at the incredibly ripe old age of nine hundred and sixty-two years. Only Methuselah, who died after nine hundred and sixty-nine years, lived longer.

The correct answer is Josheb-Basshebeth. According to 2 Samuel 23:8, he was chief among the captains of David's Mighty Men and was also called "Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time".

Answer: Rachel

Rachel is the correct answer. After cheating his brother Esau out of receiving the blessing from their father Isaac, Jacob fled for Haran as he feared for his life. While in Haran, Jacob met up with Laban, the brother of his mother Rebekah.

Scripture goes on to tell of Rachel, one of two daughters of Laban, becoming the apple of Jacob's eye. After being tricked by Laban, Jacob ended up winning Rachel's hand in marriage some fourteen years later. Originally, Jacob was to marry Rachel after working for Laban for seven years; however, when the time was up, Laban told him it was not the custom of his people to give a younger daughter's hand in marriage before an older daughter. As a result, Jacob was tricked into marrying Laban's older daughter, Leah, after severing for seven years. After working for Laban for seven more years, he finally won the right to marry Rachel.

6. Count the verses and the eight hundredth one in the New Testament of the NKJV is Matthew 23:26. The verse tells of Jesus accusing a certain group of people being blind and then telling them "first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also." Who was Jesus talking to when He made the statement?

Answer: Pharisees

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees, His arch-enemies, when He made the statement in Matthew 23:26, the 800th verse of the New Testament, using the NKJV. To put the verse in context, here's how Matthew 23:25-27 reads: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness."

Practically all of the 23rd chapter of Matthew is devoted to Christ's denunciation of the Pharisees. They adamantly opposed Christ because of His statement that He was the Son of God, and saw Him as being deranged. The Pharisees were also livid with Christ when He healed people of their illnesses, diseases and infirmities on the Sabbath.
