    In this verse from Genesis 12:17, the Lord afflicts Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. This means that the Lord brings upon them various troubles and hardships as a punishment or consequence for their actions. The word "afflicted" indicates that they are suffering or experiencing distress, while "plagues" suggests that these troubles are severe and widespread.

    Correct Answer
    A. A wealth of cattle, silver, and gold

    The correct answer is "believing God." In the passage, Abram expresses his concern about not having any children and that his heir is currently a member of his household. However, God reassures him that his own son will be his heir. Abram believes God's promise and it is counted to him as righteousness. This shows that Abram's faith and trust in God's word is the reason for the correct answer.

    A. Believing God
    Explanation
    Believing God is the correct answer because in Romans 4:2-8, it is stated that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness. This passage emphasizes that righteousness is not obtained through works or actions, but rather through faith and belief in God. It highlights the importance of trusting in God's promises and having faith in His ability to fulfill them. Therefore, believing God is the key action that leads to righteousness.

    • Egypt

    • Haran

    • Ur of the Chaldeans

    Correct Answer
    A. Haran
    Explanation
    In Genesis 15:7, God is speaking to Abram (later known as Abraham) and stating that He is the Lord who brought Abram out from a certain place. The correct answer is Haran. This is significant because Haran was the place where Abram and his family initially settled after leaving Ur of the Chaldeans. It was from Haran that God called Abram to continue his journey to the land that He would give him. Therefore, the mention of Haran in this verse emphasizes the faithfulness of God in leading Abram from one place to another, ultimately leading him to the land that would become the promised land for his descendants.

    13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. 14 But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. 16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for __________.” -Gen 15:13-15

    • The iniquity of the Amorites was not yet complete

    • I want to reveal myself to the Egyptians

    • A reason you are not to understand

    Correct Answer
    A. The iniquity of the Amorites was not yet complete
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet complete". This answer is supported by the context of the passage, which states that Abram's offspring will be sojourners and servants in a foreign land for four hundred years. However, God assures Abram that he will bring judgment on the nation they serve and they will come out with great possessions. The reason given for the delay in their return to the promised land is that the iniquity of the Amorites, the current inhabitants of the land, was not yet complete. This implies that God had a specific timing and plan for the fulfillment of his promise to Abram's offspring.
