Answer: A music leader appointed by David

Asaph, the writer of Psalm 81, was a music leader appointed by David, according to notes in the NKJV Study Bible. Asaph is credited with writing twelve of the one-hundred and fifty Psalms that appear in the Old Testament. The Psalms are numbered 50 and 73 through to 83. According to Wikipedia, a specific time period is not known to be associated with these Psalms of Asaph. Here's how Psalm 81 reads in the NKJV: "Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob. Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute. Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob. This He established in Joseph as a testimony, When He went throughout the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language I did not understand. 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets. You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you'."

From Quiz One and The Only -- As in the Bible -- #4

Answer: Othniel

The correct answer is Othniel, the first judge of Israel. According to the website Christiananswers.com, Othniel is the only judge mentioned in Scripture connected with the tribe of Judah. Under him the land had rest forty years. Othniel was the younger brother of Caleb and his father was Kenash. His wife was Achsah. Othniel served for 40 years after overthrowing Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; or Aram Naharaim in the NIV Bible.

He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died."

Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day."

Answer: Miriam

The first woman to have leprosy in Scripture is Miriam. (In fact, she is the only named female leper in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament and New Testament of the Christian Bible.) She was afflicted with leprosy by the LORD due to her grumbling about Moses because he had taken an Ethiopian wife, as per Numbers 12:1-15 in the NKJV. (In the NIV, she is described as a Cushite wife.) However, Scripture states later Miriam was cured of the dread disease by the LORD and she was re-instated into the Israelite camp. According to Scripture, the grumbling about her brother Moses' selection of an Ethiopian woman as his wife caused serious problems for Miriam. (This even though Aaron was also grumbling.) Numbers 12:5 tells of Miriam and Aaron stepping forward and the LORD coming down in a pillar of cloud. When the pillar of the cloud had disappeared, Aaron noticed his sister Miriam was leprous and "as white as snow". After Moses pleaded to God to cure Miriam of her leprosy, she was healed and reinstated into the Israelite camp after a seven-day absence.

Notes in the NKJV Study Bible state it is believed Moses wrote Genesis in the wilderness of Sinai.

Answer: Rebekah

The correct answer is Rebekah. Genesis 24:65 states Rebekah covered herself with a veil when she met Isaac.

The servant said, 'It is my master.' So she took a veil and covered herself." Isaac and Rebekah would go to become husband and wife and they would be the parents of twins -- Esau and Jacob.

Answer: Deborah

There's no doubt Deborah was a spark plug who made things happen. Her story is told in the fourth and fifth chapters of Judges. In addition to being the only female judge of pre-monarchic Israel, Scripture reports she was a prophetess. She is remembered for a spectacular military victory over Jabin and Sisera. According to Judges 4:2, Jabin king of Canaan ruled over the Israelites who were cruelly oppressed by Sisera, the commander of his army. Things changed dramatically, however, when Deborah rose to power. The Israelites, led by Deborah and her general Barak, scored a decisive military victory over Sisera and their freedom was gained. According to Judges 4:16, "all Sisera's troops fell by the sword; not a man was left."

From Quiz They Finished Second -- Can You Finish First? (#8)

Answer: Mordecai

The correct answer is Mordecai, the cousin of Queen Esther. Esther 10:1-3, in the NKJV, states: "And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea. Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen." Mordecai figures prominently in the book of Esther. He teamed with Queen Esther to comprise a dynamic duo that saved the day for the Jewish people. In fact, had it not been for this duo, there's a very real possibility Haman would have had his way and arranged the execution of all the Jews in the region ruled over by Ahasuerus. After Haman was thwarted, he ended up being hanged on the gallows he had rigged for the intended execution of Mordecai. The story of Esther, Mordecai and Haman is told in the book of Esther.

Answer: Rebekah

Rebekah is the second woman specifically named in the Bible who is described as "beautiful". Bear in mind Genesis 6:1-2 makes reference to beautiful women, but no one is specifically mentioned. The verses in question states: "When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose." In Genesis 24:16, in both the NIV and the NKJV, Rebekah is described as "very beautiful." The same words are used in both the NIV and the NKJV to describe Sarai.

From Quiz Third Time is a Charm -- As in the Bible (#2)

Answer: Levi

Levi was the third son, as per Genesis 29:34. The boy's mother was Leah, the older sister of Rachel. According to Scripture, Jacob loved Rachel and Leah felt unloved. Genesis 29:32, in the NKJV, states, "when the LORD saw Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren." Verse 34 states: "She conceived again and bore a son, and said, 'Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons'. Therefore his name was called Levi." According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Levi literally means 'attached'. Levi was a founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Levi is perhaps best known for avenging the defilement of his sister Dinah by going on a mass killing spree against the men of Shechem. He was accompanied by Simeon in the bloody avenging. (Genesis 34:25-31)

Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.'"

Answer: Donkey

The correct answer is donkey. According to Numbers 22:21-41, a donkey owned by Balaam started speaking to him when he was beating the helpless animal. Scripture states that after the donkey spoke, Balaam saw an angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. Apparently the reason Balaam beat the donkey was the fact it saw the angel and refused to proceed. Balaam, at the time, did not see the angel and took his anger out on the helpless donkey.

Yes, Genesis 4:20 is the hundredth verse in the Old Testament. The first chapter of Genesis has 31 verses while the second chapter has 25 verses and the third chapter has 24, giving a total of 80 verses. Twenty verses into the fourth chapter, you find the 100th verse. It's a rather innocuous verse. In the NIV Bible, it simply states: "Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock." Incidentally, apart from Eve, Adah is the first woman to be mentioned by name in the Bible.
