    Correct Answer
    A. To set them up in their temples as captive gods.
    Explanation
    The Assyrian conquerors carried away the idols of the nations they subdued to set them up in their temples as captive gods. This was a common practice in ancient times, as it was believed that by capturing and displaying the idols of conquered nations, the Assyrians could demonstrate their dominance and control over those nations and their gods. Additionally, it allowed the Assyrians to incorporate the conquered gods into their own religious practices, further solidifying their power and influence.

    By sending Nehemiah an unsealed letter, Sanballat may have been indicating that:

    • He regarded Nehemiah to have been equivalent to royalty.

    • He regarded Nehemiah as a near relative.

    • He saw Nehemiah as a person of inferior position.

    • He felt Nehemiah was no better than a dog.

    Correct Answer
    A. He saw Nehemiah as a person of inferior position.
    Explanation
    By sending Nehemiah an unsealed letter, Sanballat may have been indicating that he saw Nehemiah as a person of inferior position. An unsealed letter suggests a lack of respect or importance, as it can be easily opened and read by others. This action implies that Sanballat did not consider Nehemiah to be on the same level of power or authority as himself. It also suggests a lack of trust or regard for Nehemiah's position, as a sealed letter would have shown more formality and respect.

    Fasting was not permitted during the Feast of Wood-Carrying.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During the Feast of Wood-Carrying, fasting was not allowed. This implies that people participating in the feast were not allowed to abstain from eating for a certain period of time. This could be because the feast was a celebration and a time of abundance, where people were encouraged to indulge in food and enjoy the festivities. Fasting would have contradicted the purpose and spirit of the feast, hence it was prohibited.
