(A) The answer is C, The Law Books. Pentateuch is derived from the Greek which means “Five Rolls.” This would be the first 5 books of the Bible known as the Torah which is defined as “Law” or Teaching.” The books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The word Pentateuch can be found in the dictionary.

• E. None of the above.

(A) The answer is A, The Book of Exodus. The word Decalogue is derived from the Greek, dekalogos : deka, ten + logos, word. So the Decalogue is the Ten Commandments, found in Exodus 20:1-17. This word can be found in the Dictionary.

(3) (Q) Who was the father of Abraham?

• A. Adam

• B. Moses

• C. Terah

• D. Midian

• E. None of the above.

(A) The answer is C, Terah. This is found in Genesis 11:26-27. “And Terah lived seventy years and begat Abram.” Keep in mind his birth name was Abram. Then in Genesis 17:5, God changed his name to Abraham which means father of many nations. For the complete concept of the name change, interesting reading would be Genesis the 17th chapter.

(4) (Q) The great grandmother of King David was a women of color. What was her name?

• A. Queen Esther

• B. Naomi

• C. Ruth

• D. Deborah

• E. None of the above.

(A). The answer is C, Ruth. The scripture is Ruth 4:13, 17. Ruth was a Moabite from Moab. Moab is an ancient kingdom east of the Dead Sea in present-day southwest Jordan.

The Moabites were close kin to the Hebrews (people of color). Ruth was converted and went to Bethlehem. She married a man by the name of Boaz. Their son was named Obed. Obed is the father of Jesse and Jesse is the father of David. It can be read this way. King David’s father was Jesse, his grandfather was Obed, his great grandfather was Boaz and great grandmother was Ruth, a woman of color. Ruth was one of the parental ancestors of our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 1:5 "And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;"


(5) (Q) What Day of Creation did the Lord make the sun, moon and stars?

• A. Second Day

• B. Fourth Day

• C. Sixth Day

• D. First Day

• E. None of the above.

(A) The answer is B, Fourth Day. This is found in Genesis 1: 14 – 19, with emphasis on verse 16 & 19.

• (16) “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.”

• ⁽¹⁹⁾"And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."

The “greater” light is the sun , the “lesser” light is the moon.

The Bible is not a book of astronomy, however we can use the science of astronomy to show the magnificence of Almighty God.

Moses under the inspiration of God stated the greater light (the sun) is to rule the day. If you look at the sun, it is approximately 865,400 miles in diameter. The lesser light which is the moon is approximately 2,160 miles in diameter. That equals to 863,240 mile difference in diameter. Moses is right on target. The sun is so much bigger than the moon, science agrees that the sun could hold six million moons.
