2. What was the name of Adam and Eve's third son?

Answer: Leah and Rachel

Jacob worked for his uncle Laban for seven years in order to marry Rachel. Laban tricked him and, on the wedding day, put a veil on Leah acting like she was Rachel.

Genesis 29:15-30

4. What got Joseph out of jail?

Answer: His correct dream interpretations

Joseph interpreted the baker's and the cupbearer's dreams correctly. They had both been put into jail. The baker would be put to death and the cupbearer would be put back into his position. Both dreams came true and quite a while later, the cupbearer told the Pharaoh, who had hard interpretations, that Joseph had correctly interpreted his dream. Genesis 40:8-41:25

Rebekah did this, and the servant brought her home to Isaac. Genesis 24
