The Wages of Sin is Death: Good Versus Evil Quiz

Answer: Volga

The four rivers are the Pishon which goes through Havilah, the Gihon which winds through Cush, the Tigris which runs by Ashur, and the Euphrates. Although this section of Genesis does not specify where the Euphrates runs, in modern day terms it runs from Turkey through Syria and Iraq, and into the Persian Gulf. The Tigris roughly parallels the Euphrates while the exact locations of the Pishon and Gihon are unknown.

The Volga is the longest river in Europe, flowing through western Russia.

Answer: Rib of my ribs

The full verse is, "The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man'". At this point he had yet to give her the name Eve.

The chapter does not specify whether any of the animals had both genders created together or separately.

Answer: Shame

This is the last verse in Genesis Chapter 2 and comes shortly after God creates the first woman as a companion to Adam. It foreshadows some of what will happen in Chapter 3 where their lack of nakedness tips God off that they had done something wrong.

Answer: Crafty

Chapter 3 starts off "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals...". Gentle, sly, and wise are normally used to describe the lamb, fox, and owl respectively.

Answer: The Middle

Genesis 2:9 refers to the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil as being in the middle of the garden. In Genesis 2:17, God tells Adam that if he eats from the tree of knowledge of good and evil he will certainly die. In Genesis 3:3, Eve is talking with the serpent and reiterates the warning they were given about eating from the tree in the middle of the garden.

She does not specify which of the two trees she is referring to.

Answer: Three

The serpent basically convinces the woman that everything God told her about the tree is wrong, and that God doesn't want her or Adam to eat from it because they will become as powerful as him if they do. The full quote is:

"You will not certainly die.
For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

In Chapter 22 it was Abraham who was told that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Answer: Fig leaves

As the serpent suggests, eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil opens their eyes. It makes them realize they are naked, so they sew fig leaves together to cover themselves.

Answer: The woman

After cursing the serpent to crawl on its belly and eat dust in the previous verse, God puts enmity between the serpent and the woman and between their offspring.

Next God curses the woman and tells her that childbirth will be painful. Finally he curses Adam telling him that he will have to work for his food rather than having it right there for him.

Answer: Dust

The verse in full reads "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." This is followed by verse 20 in which Adam finally gives his wife a name, Eve, because she will be the mother of all the living.

Answer: False

God says that the man must not be allowed to eat from the tree of life which would allow him to live forever. In verse 24 God places cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the tree of life.

And so ends chapter 3 of Genesis and the story of man's original sin and time in the Garden of Eden.
