Nehemiah Trivia Quiz

Answer: Hacaliah

Nehemiah 1:1 "The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace.

When Nehemiah was younger he was a cupbearer for the King of Persia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehemiah)

Answer: He saw how sad Nehemiah looked.

Nehemiah was sad because his father was from Judah and the city was being destroyed, so the king let him go and act as governor. Nehemiah Chapter 2

Answer: That a man came to help the Israelites.

Nehemiah 2:10: When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobian the servant, the Ammonite heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

Sanballat and Tobian didn't like the idea of people worrying about what was going on with the Israelites. Grieved, if we look at the New King James Version means "deeply disturbed". In the New Living Translation it says they were "very angry that someone had come who was interested in helping Israel."

Answer: fight

Nehemiah 4:20 "In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God shall fight for us."

Israel has always been under hardships and wars. But the Israelites believe that they are God's chosen people, and therefore He'll always fight for them and protect them.

Answer: 52

Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."

Elul is one of the summer months of the Hebrew calendar. It has 29 days in it.

Answer: Feast of Tabernacles

The Feast of Tabernacles is also known as Sukkot. It is eight days long.

Answer: Children of Levi

Nehemiah 10:39 "For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of corn, of the new wine, an the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God."

It was customary to offer food to God in the days of the Old Testament. We still make offerings today when we tithe our money.

Answer: Zerubbabel

Nehemiah 12:1 "Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra."

Zeruababel is known for starting the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Answer: Ammonites and Moabites

Nehemiah 13:1 "On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God forever."

The Israelites only traced the lineage through the father's side, so if you were a Ammonite or Moabite on your mother's side it was okay. (http://members.aol.com/kingdavid10/Contradictions/Deuteronomy/11Moabite.html)

Answer: good

Nehemiah 13:31 "And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good."
