Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's start from the beginning. I am the eldest of Jacob's sons and my name means 'see a son' or 'he has seen my plight' . Who am I?

Answer: Reuben

My mother, Leah, gave me my name because she hoped that my birth would mean that my father would love her more (Genesis 29:32). Jacob was married to my mother and her sister Rachel, but Jacob loved Rachel best and only married my mother because my grandfather, Laban, tricked him into it.

2. I am the second of Jacob's sons and, like my older brother, my mother is Leah. My name means 'to hear'. Who am I?

Answer: Simeon

The reason my mother gave me my name is because she believed that the Lord had heard that Jacob didn't love her. (Genesis 29:33). My name also means 'that hears or obeys' or 'that is heard'.

3. My name means 'joined or attached' because my mother hoped that my birth would mean Jacob would hold her close. I am the third of Jacob's sons (Genesis 29:34). Who am I?

Answer: Levi

My descendants, the Levites, became the priests. My name also means 'associated with him'.

4. My name is Judah. I am the fourth son of Jacob. Like my three older brothers, my mother is Leah. Which of these is closest to what my name means? (Genesis 29:35)

Answer: 'Yah, be praised'

My name can also mean 'the praise of Jehovah' or 'confession'.
'Increaser' is the meaning of my brother Joseph's name (Genesis 30:24) and 'Son of the right hand' is the meaning of Benjamin's name. 'Son of my sorrow' was the meaning of Benjamin's original name Ben-oni, before Jacob changed his name to Benjamin after the child's mother died. (Genesis 35:18)

5. I am the fifth of Jacob's sons. My name means 'judge' or 'judgment'. What is my name and who is my mother? (Genesis 30:6)

Answer: Dan, son of Bilhah

My mother, Bilhah, was Rachel's servant. Rachel wasn't happy that she hadn't had any children with Jacob so she gave her servant to Jacob, saying "have children by her, and I'll let them be born on my knees to show that they are mine" (Genesis 30:3). Another form of my name's meaning is 'he that judges'.

6. I am the sixth son of Jacob. My mother is Bilhah, Rachel's servant, and my name means 'my wrestling' or 'my twisting'. What is my name?

Answer: Naphtali

I am called 'my wrestling' or alternatively 'that struggles or fights' because Rachel said, "I've struggled hard with my sister and I have won!" (Genesis 30:8.

7. My mother's name is Zilpah and I am the seventh of Jacob's sons. My name means 'good fortune'. Who am I?

Answer: Gad

My mother, Zilpah, is Leah's servant. Leah thought she couldn't have any more children, so she gave Zilpah to Jacob to have more more children for her. I was named because, when I was born, Leah said she was really lucky. (Genesis 30:9-11). My name could also mean 'bond', or 'troop' or 'invader'.

8. I am Jacob's number-eight son. My name is Asher. Who is my mother?

Answer: Zilpah

Even though my mother is Zilpah, it was Leah who named me. My name means 'happy' because Leah said "I am happy now, and all the women will say how happy I am" (Genesis 30:12-13). Alternatively, my name means 'walks' or 'looks'.

9. I am the ninth son of Jacob and the fifth son of my mother, Leah. What is my name?

Answer: Issachar

My name means 'man of hire', 'my reward' or 'recompense'. I was named because Leah told Rachel she could have some flowers that her son Reuben was giving to her, as long as Leah was the one who got to sleep with Jacob that night.

10. Finally, I am the last of Leah's sons and the tenth son of Jacob. What is my name?

Answer: Zebulun

When my mother named me because she exclaimed "God has given me a wonderful gift" (Genesis 30:20). My name means 'lofty dwelling place' or 'habitation'.
