Question 1 of 10
1. Sold as a slave by his brothers, and assumed to be dead by his father. That is perhaps not the best goodbye a family can have. However, it turned out to be one of the greatest things that could have happened to him, because he was sold into Egypt where he became second in command to Pharaoh himself.

Who was this young mistreated man?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. It might not be easy to leave with a stranger to go marry someone even stranger. However, this woman did just that. When Abraham sent Eliezer off to find a wife for Isaac, he found this woman, who decided to go with him to marry Isaac. The family did not want her to go, but her willingness to leave was a wise choice; she would become an ancestress of Jesus Christ.

Who was the woman?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Abraham and Sarah had a wonderful life with many blessings; they were well off financially. However, when God told them to travel to a land he'd show them, they did not hesitate to leave everything they had behind and live in tents for the rest of their lives. It was goodbye to their home, but they were rewarded for their sacrifice.

In what city did Abraham and Sarah live before living in the desert dwelling in tents?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Hannah was a childless woman, the wife of Elkanah. She was so upset about being barren that she went to the temple and wept, praying to God. If she were to bear a son, she would dedicate him to God. And that is exactly what she did. It's a sad goodbye for any mother to send her child away, but as her son later became a prophet, it turned out to be a beautiful goodbye.

Who was her son?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Leaving his mother and grandmother must not have been easy, especially since this young lad was doing well in his home congregation at Lystra. However, when an opportunity arose to leave his family and home and travel with Paul, this young man decided it was well worth it.

Who left Eunice and Lois to travel with Paul?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Paul was known as a traveling missionary, creating many congregations in Asia Minor as well as upbuilding existing congregations. However, he was not always an evangelizer. Before he became a Christian, Paul was known by a different name, one where he even persecuted Christians.

Hint


Question 7 of 10

Hint


Question 9 of 10

Who led the Israelites out of Egypt?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sold as a slave by his brothers, and assumed to be dead by his father. That is perhaps not the best goodbye a family can have. However, it turned out to be one of the greatest things that could have happened to him, because he was sold into Egypt where he became second in command to Pharaoh himself. Who was this young mistreated man?

Answer: Joseph

Joseph was his father's (Jacob) favorite son, which was apparent when he gave Joseph a long coat of many colors, which was not a cheap gift in those days. Joseph's brothers began to hate him, and wanted to kill him. Fortunately for Joseph, Reuben suggested instead to sell him as a slave.

They did so, and dipped his coat in blood to make their father believe Joseph had died. The brothers' mission had been achieved, but it turned out for the better for Joseph. He soon became the second-highest ranking person in Egypt, behind only Pharaoh.

The account of Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers can be read in the 37th chapter of Genesis.
2. It might not be easy to leave with a stranger to go marry someone even stranger. However, this woman did just that. When Abraham sent Eliezer off to find a wife for Isaac, he found this woman, who decided to go with him to marry Isaac. The family did not want her to go, but her willingness to leave was a wise choice; she would become an ancestress of Jesus Christ. Who was the woman?

Answer: Rebekah

Rebekah was found by Eliezer at a well, where she kindly gave him a drink, and even drew water for his camels. This was a sign for Eliezer that he would be the wife of Isaac. She took him to her home, where her family met the man wanting to take Rebekah away from them.

Their response was not so favorable, but Rebekah was willing to leave to marry the unknown man waiting for her elsewhere. She was blessed for her sacrifice, however, and became one of the ancestresses of Jesus Christ (the genealogy of which can be found in Luke chapter 3).

Her story can be found in Genesis, beginning in the 24th chapter.
3. Abraham and Sarah had a wonderful life with many blessings; they were well off financially. However, when God told them to travel to a land he'd show them, they did not hesitate to leave everything they had behind and live in tents for the rest of their lives. It was goodbye to their home, but they were rewarded for their sacrifice. In what city did Abraham and Sarah live before living in the desert dwelling in tents?

Answer: Ur

Abraham and Sarah lived in Ur before God told them to leave. They immediately left for the desert where God commanded them to go, even though they were both old in age. They could have stayed in Ur, but leaving gave them many rewards; Abraham became "father of many nations" and the promised seed (Jesus Christ) was traced through Abraham's lineage. Abraham and Sarah's story can be read in Genesis chapters 11-26.
4. Hannah was a childless woman, the wife of Elkanah. She was so upset about being barren that she went to the temple and wept, praying to God. If she were to bear a son, she would dedicate him to God. And that is exactly what she did. It's a sad goodbye for any mother to send her child away, but as her son later became a prophet, it turned out to be a beautiful goodbye. Who was her son?

Answer: Samuel

When Hannah prayed at the temple, the priest Eli thought she was drunk. However, he realized later she was genuine, and when Hannah bore her son Samuel, he was given to Eli to raise in the temple. Samuel became a prophet as well as a leader of Israel. You can read about Samuel's account in 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel (Hannah can be read about in 1 Samuel 1).
5. Leaving his mother and grandmother must not have been easy, especially since this young lad was doing well in his home congregation at Lystra. However, when an opportunity arose to leave his family and home and travel with Paul, this young man decided it was well worth it. Who left Eunice and Lois to travel with Paul?

Answer: Timothy

Timothy was a young man who was well-spoken of in Lystra. When Paul arrived there on his second missionary journey, he invited Timothy to join him in his travels. Timothy accepted, leaving his mother and grandmother behind to join Paul. The story can be read in Acts 16.
6. Paul was known as a traveling missionary, creating many congregations in Asia Minor as well as upbuilding existing congregations. However, he was not always an evangelizer. Before he became a Christian, Paul was known by a different name, one where he even persecuted Christians. He left his former life, and it was a beautiful goodbye. By what was he known before he became Paul the Apostle?

Answer: Saul of Tarsus

Saul of Tarsus was not at all friendly towards Christians. As a well-respected Jew of Tarsus, Saul did everything he could to rid the land of Christians. However, Saul was converted to Christianity, and as a follower of Christ, he became known as Paul the Apostle.

He left his life of luxury to travel, preaching to many along the way. His story can be read in much of Acts, and his letters to the congregations can be read in the following thirteen books of the Bible.
7. This woman was a Moabitess who married into the family of Naomi. When Naomi's husband and two sons died, she told her two daughters-in-law that they could return home if they wish. Orpah did so, but this woman did not. She was rewarded for staying with Naomi; she became an ancestress of Jesus Christ, one of only two women to be mentioned by name in his genealogy, and also became one of only two women to have a Bible book bearing her name. Who is she?

Answer: Ruth

Ruth married into the family of Elimelech and Naomi, but when Elimelech and his two sons all died, the three women (Naomi, Orpah, and Ruth) became widows. When given the chance to go back home, Orpah left, but Ruth remained with Naomi. She was blessed as later marrying Boaz, becoming one of the direct ancestresses of Christ Jesus.

In fact, only her and Rahab were mentioned by name as ancestresses in Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1. She is also one of only two women with a Bible book named after them (the other being Esther). Ruth's story can be found in the book of the Bible bearing her name.
8. Leaving the city you love is not always an easy task, but sometimes it is the only way to save your family's lives! Wickedness was found in this man's home, and the two cities were to be destroyed with fire and sulfur. The man and his family did not have much time to leave, and could bring nothing with them. If they were to look back, as his wife did, it would not end well. However, this man, as well as his two daughters, were able to flee, and their lives were saved because of it. Who was he?

Answer: Lot

Lot fled from Sodom when it as well as the neighbor city of Gomorrah were both to be destroyed. Lot was able to escape with his two daughters, though his wife was not so lucky. She turned back towards the city, with a longing for what she was losing, and turned into a pillar of salt. After escaping, Lot's daughters seduced him so as to bear children; so the lineage would continue.

Lot's fleeing Sodom can be read about in Genesis 19.
9. Leaving Egypt is not easy, when there are cucumbers and leeks and all sorts of wonderful foods, and all you are left with is manna and quail. However, this man led all of Israel out of Egypt anyway. They were no longer slaves to Pharaoh, which was definitely a blessing. They lived in the wilderness, but they were headed towards a Promised Land. Who led the Israelites out of Egypt?

Answer: Moses

Moses was told by God to demand that Pharaoh let the Israelites out of Egypt so they may be free. When he declined, ten plagues swept across Egypt. After the tenth plague, they were released. Moses led them out, but they were chased by the Egyptians. Moses parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could cross, but when the Egyptians caught up and were in the sea bed, the water wall collapsed and destroyed them all.

They wandered in the wilderness for years, but they were fed and free from Pharaoh.

Unfortunately, Moses was unable to enter the Promised Land, though he led Israel to it (Jacob led the Israelites into the land). Moses can be read about in Exodus, and the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt can be read beginning in chapter 12 of Exodus, which tells of the Ten Plagues.
10. Leaving your father and your mother is not always an easy thing to do. However, according Ephesians 5:31, it is something that must be done if one wishes to do something. Why would a man leave his father and mother, according to Ephesians 5:31?

Answer: Marriage

Ephesians 5:31 says that a man will leave his father and mother to go with his wife, where the husband and wife will become one flesh. Similar Scriptures can be found at Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:5, which both give the same principle of marriage.
