Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in the Bible Quiz


My daughter was babysitting a child and entertaining him by singing the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and voila, an idea for a Bible quiz was born. All questions feature one of the four words in the song title. (The NIV was used for this quiz.)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Genesis 28 tells of Jacob having a dream at Bethel, in which he saw a stairway reaching to heaven with the angels of God ascending and descending on it, and God at the very top. According to verse 11, what did Jacob put under his head before he went to sleep?

Answer: a stone

The correct answer is a stone. It might not have been the most comfortable way to sleep, but for Jacob it appeared to be the most practical. In the dream, the Lord stated: "I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." (Genesis 28:13-15)
2. The following passage contains the word 'head' and is about Joseph interpreting a dream for the Pharaoh's cupbearer: "Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer." In what book in the Bible would you find this NIV verse?

Answer: Genesis

The correct answer is Genesis, with the passage in question coming from 40: 13. In the chapter, Joseph correctly interprets dreams for the Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, who are both imprisoned with him in Egypt.
3. According to Colossians 1: 18, who is the head of the body, the church?

Answer: Jesus Christ

The correct answer is Jesus Christ. To put things in perspective, the two previous verses (Colossians 1: 16-17) state of Jesus: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
4. Moving on to the "shoulders" part of our quiz, in what book of the Bible would you find the following NIV passage? "And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD."

Answer: 1 Chronicles

The correct answer is 1 Chronicles, with the passage in question coming from the 15th verse in the 15th chapter. To put the passage in context, here's how it reads with verses 14 and 16 included: "So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel. And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD. David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals."
5. The following passage contains the word 'shoulders' and is about a shepherd finding a lost sheep: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'" In what book in the NIV Bible would you find this passage?

Answer: Luke

The correct answer is Luke. The Scripture above can be found in Luke 15:4-6. The scripture Luke 15: 1-7 contains the sub-head "The Parable of the Lost Sheep" and concludes with Jesus stating, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
6. Moving on to the "knees" portion of our quiz, in what book of the Bible would you find the following passage? "So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, 'Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink.' Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their mouths. All the rest got down on their knees to drink."

Answer: Judges

The correct answer is Judges, 7:4-7. In the next verse, the Lord told Gideon to take the 300 men who lapped water like a dog so that he would be successful in battle against the Midianites.
7. Complete the two missing words in the verses from Psalm 20: 7-8 (NIV): "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and _______ _______."

Answer: Acts

The correct answer is Acts, with the passage appearing in the 40th verse of the 9th chapter. To put the passage in perspective, the following is from verses 36-39 -- "In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor. About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, 'Please come at once!' Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them."

Answer: Jonathan
