Question 1 of 10
1. I don't know why they criticize me. I needed a little cash and they needed to get rid of a problem. Supply and demand, no? So what if I had been walking with this man for three years listening to his teachings? So what if I had been counted as one of his disciples? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Our friend was very sick. We heard that he had been through one catastrophe after another so we decided to go visit him. Perhaps our words of accusation blaming him for the mess he was in, and asking him to repent, were a little over the top... but we really meant it for good!

Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. There were ten of us -- talk about needing cash! We were sick and tired of our brother and his dreams. Supply and demand? Definitely! We got cash, the problem was gone, Egypt got itself a new slave and everybody was happy... well... maybe not everybody, but who cares about him anyway? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. I was king. So why would the women of my people be singing victory songs about someone else? It's wrong I tell you! I am king, the songs should be of my prowess, not about a young shepherd who happened to get lucky and beat a great enemy in battle. Now he is my son's best friend and to make matters worse I've heard rumors that he has been anointed king instead of me. You would have tried to get rid of him too! Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. My brother was a goody two shoes. So annoying! When we went to offer sacrifices to God, he always did everything right. I couldn't stand him! "Am I my brother's keeper?" No way! Why would I want to keep him? I buried him somewhere where no one will find him.

Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. He was one of my faithful soldiers. I was his king. It was not my fault that he had a beautiful wife whom I wanted. I mean, why else would I have sent him into the thick of battle so that he could get killed?

Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Who needs love when money is so much better? My honey was very strong, but pretty weak when it came to women's tears. When they offered me cash for finding out his secret, I jumped at the offer. After all, a girl can never have too many shoes. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. I killed my half brother for messing with my sister. I took the kingdom from my father because I was better at the job anyway. Maybe I was a little spoiled but wouldn't you be if you had a head of hair like mine? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. I tricked my brother and took his birthright. I tricked my father and obtained his blessing. I tricked my father-in-law and obtained sheep and cattle. My name was changed by God in a place called Peniel. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. I feel so rotten for what I did. My excuse? I was scared, plain and simple. If I hadn't acted like I didn't know him, or denied being one of his friends, I could have been arrested too. But I will never forget that look in his eyes when I denied him for the third time. Hint
