Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When famine struck, Jacob and his sons followed Joseph into Egypt. But where did they live prior to moving to Egypt?

Answer: Canaan

Jacob and his sons lived in Canaan before moving to Egypt. After Joseph's death, the Jews became slaves of Egypt for some 430 years.

2. Where were the bitter waters made sweet?

Answer: Marah

Exodus 15:22-25. At God's direction, Moses cast a tree into the water, which made it sweet. "Mara(h)" means bitter, and this is also the name Naomi adopts for herself in the book of Ruth when her two sons die (Ruth 1:20).

3. Where did Moses receive the ten commandments?

Answer: Mt. Sinai

Leviticus 27:34. Mt. Sinai, which may also be called Mt. Horeb, is where Moses first encountered the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-3).

4. Where did Miriam and Aaron murmur against Moses?

Answer: Hazeroth

Numbers 12. They spoke against Moses because of his marriage to an Ethiopian woman. This also seemed to be a scene of rivalry for the leadership position. As a result, Miriam was temporarily stricken with leprosy.

5. In what desert were the Jews encamped when they sent spies to Hebron?

Answer: Desert of Paran

Numbers 13. He sent out twelve spies, but only Caleb suggested that they try to possess the land.

6. Here Korah rebelled against Moses and Aaron, and here Miriam died. Here, also, Moses brought water forth from a rock, taking credit for the miracle.

Answer: Kadeshbarnea

Numbers 16. The earth opened up and swallowed Korah and his followers. According to "Smith's Bible Dictionary" the name "kadesh" means holy and "barnea" means "place of wandering." (http://www.searchgodsword.org/dic/)

7. Where did Moses first call forth water from a rock?

Answer: Horeb

Exodus 17:6. The first time, Moses called forth the water as he was told. The second time, however, he took credit for the miracle, saying, "must we fetch you water out of this rock?" (Numbers 20:10). For this sin Moses was prohibited from going to the Promised Land.

8. This city was taken in a war with the Amorites. And near here, Balaam blessed Israel.

Answer: Heshbon

Numbers 21:25 and Numbers 22. The city's name means "intelligence," according to christiananswer.net's Bible Encyclopedia (http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/). According to the Encyclopedia, "The ruins of this town are still seen about 20 miles east of Jordan from the north end of the Dead Sea."

9. From here, Moses saw the Promised Land and died.

Answer: Mt. Nebo

Deuteronomy 34. According to the book, The Lord Himself buried Moses in Moab, but even to this day, no one knows where his grave is located.

10. After the Exodus, Joshua fought a famous battle and captured this city when its walls were knocked down.

Answer: Jericho

The Israelites marched repeatedly about the walls, and when they blew their trumpets, the walls caved in. Hebrews 11:30 also recalls this victory. Recent archeological discoveries have tended to confirm the Old Testament story of Jericho's destruction. (For more, see http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/docs/v21n2_jericho.asp)
