From Quiz Jesus, Jerusalem and Judges

Answer: Jacob

Genesis 25:26 - "After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them." Born with the name Jacob, God changed his name was changed to Israel and his twelve sons became the foundation of the nation and Tribes of Israel. As a young man, his father Isaac sent him to find a wife from the family of his mother's brother Laban, rather than take a wife from amongst the Canaanites. While en route, Jacob had a dream of angels and of God, who told him of the future of his family: Genesis 28:10-15 - "Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: 'I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. 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. 15 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.'"

Answer: David

In addition to being a ferocious warrior, David was a talented musician, especially when it came to the harp. According to 1 Samuel 16:23, King Saul had a distressing spirit depart from him whenever David played the harp. 1 Samuel 16:23, in the NKJV, explains things this way: "And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him." No age is given for David when he played the harp for Saul, but it is commonly believed he was in his early teens as David's performances took place before he slayed the Philistine giant Goliath.

From Quiz The Answer is Either A, B, C or D -- #2

Dinah is the correct answer. She was the daughter of Jacob and Leah. According to Genesis 34, Dinah was defiled by Shechem, prompting her brothers Simeon and Levi to go on a ruthless vigilante killing spree.

From Quiz The Answer is Either A, B, C or D

Answer: Adah

With the exception of Eve, Adah is the first female mentioned by name in the Old Testament. Her name appears in Genesis 4:19, just before the name of another woman, Zillah. The two women were both married to Lamech, and Adah was the mother of Jabal and Jubal. Jabal is described in Scripture as "the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock," while Jubal is described as "the father of all those who play the harp and flute." There is another woman in the Bible with the name Adah. According to Scripture, the other Adah was the daughter of Elon and the wife of Esau.

From Quiz Israel, Isaiah and Immortality

Answer: Ishmael

Despite having been promised a son, Sarai had not yet borne a child for her husband Abram, so she devised a scheme. She had an Egyptian slave as a handmaid, and she offered her to her husband to lay with to produce an heir. Out of this union came Ishmael. As you might expect, this 'arrangement' didn't go as well as planned, as jealousy rose its ugly head. Verses 5 and 6 of Genesis 16 describe the result: "Then Sarai said to Abram, "You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me." "Your slave is in your hands," Abram said. "Do with her whatever you think best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her." While she was on the run and suffering, God spoke to Hagar and promised that through her son would she would have too many descendants to count, and then He described how her son would one day be.

From Quiz God, Goliath and Gethsemane

Answer: Zero

The book of Genesis begins with the creation of the universe, and specifically the world and everything in it. It goes on to chronicle the lives of a few specific people, beginning with Adam and Eve (the first humans) and their children, continuing with Noah and the flood, and then on to Abram and Sarai (Abraham and Sarah). Abraham proves to be the father of a great nation. Genesis goes on to tell of Abraham's son Isaac, and Isaac's sons Jacob and Esau. Lastly, Jacob (renamed Israel) and his family find their way to Egypt, leaving things primed for the next book, Exodus. More importantly, Genesis explains how God made his covenants with Noah, with Abraham, and with Jacob to become God's chosen people.

From Quiz Divinity, Donkeys and Descendants

Answer: Dan

Dan was the fifth son of Jacob (Israel) through Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid. Rachel was Jacob's first love, as described in the book of Genesis, but was unable to have children until she finally gave Jacob his 11th and 12th boys (Joseph and Benjamin), dying in childbirth when Benjamin was born. Genesis 30:1-6 - "When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, 'Give me children, or I'll die!' "Jacob became angry with her and said, 'Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?' "Then she said, 'Here is Bilhah, my servant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.' "So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her, and she became pregnant and bore him a son. Then Rachel said, 'God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son.' Because of this she named him Dan."

Answer: Cain

Genesis 4:16,17 - "So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch." Cain, of course, is famously remembered as the first murderer, killing his brother Abel when God preferred Abel's offering over Cain's. The bible records his descendants to the sixth generation, at which point the great flood ended his line.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'K'

Answer: Kish

Kish was the father of Saul. Scripture states Kish was a Benjamite and he was the son of Abiel, who was the son of Zeror, who was the son of Bekorath.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'J'

Answer: Jonah

The correct answer is Jonah, the man who was swallowed by a huge fish or whale only to be regurgitated onto dry land after surviving three days and three nights in its stomach, according to Scripture. After surviving his ordeal in the whale's (or fish's) stomach, Jonah agreed to go to Nineveh, the place the LORD wanted him to go all along. According to the book of Jonah, the LORD told him to go to Nineveh and "preach against it" because of its wickedness. His story is one of the best known in the Old Testament. Wikipedia states Nineveh "was an ancient city on the eastern bank of the Tigris River in ancient Assyria. Its ruins are across the river from the modern-day major city of Mosul, in the Ninawa Governorate of Iraq."

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'I'

Answer: Isaiah

Isaiah is the correct answer. His father was Amoz and according to Isaiah 1:1 he prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah (or Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah. According to the Web site Biblical-Baby-Names.com, Isaiah means Jehovah has saved. His prophecies tell of impending judgment on the Israelites followed by better times ahead. Many Christians believe the book of Isaiah contains a number of prophecies pertaining to Jesus Christ, with chapter 53 being an example.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'H'

Answer: 3

Two books in the Minor Prophets, or the Twelve Prophets section, start with the letter 'H'. They are Habakkuk, Haggai and Hosea. In the Christian Bible, Habakkuk, Haggai and Hosea are considered minor prophets. They're called 'minor' simply because their books are much shorter than those by the likes of Daniel and Jeremiah. The twelve books in the Minor Prophet section, however, are seen as every bit as important as the books written by other prophets in the Old Testament.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'G'

From Quiz Babies, Battles and Barnabas

Answer: Both of these

Genesis 25:29-33 - "Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom.) Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright." "Look, I am about to die," Esau said. "What good is the birthright to me?" But Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob." Genesis 27:22,23 - "Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau." He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him." After Jacob deceived Isaac for Esau's blessing, Esau was ready to kill Jacob. It was many years before they were reconciled (in Genesis 33).

From Quiz Arks, Authors and Armies

Answer: Adam

Genesis 5:3-5 - "When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died. Interestingly, according to the lineage account from Adam to Noah in Genesis 5, Adam would have still been alive long enough to see Noah's father (Lamech) reach the age of 56. Lamech was Adam's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson. Lamech had Noah at the age of 182.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'F'

Answer: "You shall have no other gods before Me."

"You shall have no other gods before Me", is the correct answer. The Ten Commandments are found in the 20th Chapter of Exodus and the fifth chapter of Deuteronomy. According to Scripture, the Ten Commandments were given by God to the Israelites who were encamped before Mount Sinai after they had been delivered from slavery in Egypt. The story of the Israelites being delivered from Egypt is found in the book of Exodus.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'E'

Answer: Eve

Eve, of course, is described as the mother of all living. According to Genesis 3:20 she was given the name by Adam. They were the parents of Cain, Abel and Seth as well as other sons and daughters, as per Genesis 5:4. However, Scripture does not state how many children Eve had. It could have been a large number because Adam lived to be 930 years old, according to Genesis 5:5. Scripture does not indicate how old Eve was when she died.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'C'

Answer: Cain

Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, is the correct answer. He became the world's first murderer when he killed his brother Abel out of jealousy. The question "am I my brother's keeper?" was asked by Cain in Genesis 4:9, when Scripture says God wanted to know the whereabouts of Abel. Cain's statement is often used to reflect the view no one should be responsible for the welfare of others. However, the statement has also been turned around and has given birth to the term 'my brother's keeper'. The term 'my brother's keeper' has been incorporated into everything from the title of a movie to a Christian organization involved in helping the impoverished.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'B'

Answer: Bathsheba

Bathsheba, of course, is the correct answer. Her bath took place in 2 Samuel 11. She would go on to have an adulterous affair with David and then end up becoming his wife. Later, she would become the Queen Mother when her son Solomon assumed the throne. As a result, she would be the most powerful woman in the land.
