Explanation

The rainbow was devised as a symbol of the Lord's promise never to flood the earth again. This can be understood from the passage in Genesis 9:12-17 where God establishes a covenant with Noah and sets the rainbow as a sign of that covenant. The rainbow serves as a reminder of God's promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "knowledge of good and evil." In Genesis 2:9, it is stated that God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In verse 17, God tells Adam that he is free to eat from any tree in the garden, except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, the tree that man was forbidden to eat from was specifically the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Submit
4. (Genesis 3:6-8) Adam and the woman became aware that they were naked:

Explanation

After eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and the woman became aware that they were naked but had not yet talked with the Lord God. This is evident from the sequence of events mentioned in the passage. They ate the fruit first, which resulted in their realization of their nakedness. Subsequently, they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden and hid themselves, indicating that they had not yet spoken with Him. Therefore, the correct answer is after eating the forbidden fruit, but before talking with the Lord God.

Submit

Explanation

In Genesis 1:3-5, it is stated that on the first day, God said, "Let there be light!" This suggests that God spoke and commanded the existence of light into being. This is the correct answer because it aligns with the biblical account of creation where God's words have the power to bring about creation and order.

Submit
6. (Genesis 2:7) God formed man of:

Explanation

According to Genesis 2:7, God formed man from dust. This means that God created the first human being by shaping him out of the dust of the earth. This explanation is supported by the biblical account of creation, where God is described as forming man from the dust and then breathing life into him. The concept of man being formed from dust symbolizes the idea that humans are created beings, dependent on God for their existence.

Submit
7. (Genesis 19:26) As Lot and his family fled from Sodom,:

Explanation

In Genesis 19:26, the correct answer is "because Lot's wife looked back, she was turned to a pillar of salt." This explanation is supported by the biblical account, which states that as Lot and his family fled from Sodom, they were warned not to look back. However, Lot's wife disobeyed this command and turned back, resulting in her transformation into a pillar of salt as a consequence of her disobedience.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is 40 days and nights. In the book of Genesis, it is mentioned that it rained for 40 days and nights during the great flood. This prolonged rainfall caused widespread flooding and destruction. The duration of 40 days and nights emphasizes the severity and intensity of the flood, highlighting the catastrophic nature of the event.

Submit

Explanation

In the passage from Genesis 8:6-12, it is mentioned that Noah sent out a raven and a dove to find dry land after the flood. The raven flew back and forth until the waters dried up, indicating that it did not find a suitable place to rest. However, the dove returned with an olive leaf in its beak, showing that it had found dry land. This action reassured Noah that the floodwaters had receded and it was safe to leave the ark. Therefore, the correct answer is the dove.

Explanation

The city of Babel was named so because it served as proof of the potential consequences of allowing mankind to have a common language. The Lord, recognizing the power of a unified language, decided to scatter the workers by creating different languages. This decision was made to prevent the people from achieving their ambitious goals and to maintain diversity among different groups.

Submit
12. (Genesis 4:14-15) The Lord set a mark upon Cain to:

Explanation

The correct answer is "protect him against murder." In Genesis 4:14-15, after Cain had killed his brother Abel, he expressed concern that anyone who found him would kill him. In response, the Lord set a mark upon Cain to protect him from being murdered by others. This mark served as a sign that anyone who harmed Cain would face severe consequences from God.

Submit

Explanation

Joseph's brothers made a plan to kill him because he had dreamed of dominance over them.

This revelation of Joseph's dreams threatened their position and authority within the family, leading them to plot against him.

Submit

Explanation

On the third day, God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass." This is the correct answer because according to the passage in Genesis 1:11-13, God specifically commands the earth to produce vegetation, including grass. This command precedes the creation of the great whales, cattle, creeping things, beasts of the earth, and man, which suggests that the formation of grass and other vegetation was a necessary step in the overall creation process.

Submit

Submit

Explanation

Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating of the tree of life. This is evident from the passage in Genesis 3:22-23, where God states that if Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from the tree of life, they would live forever. By removing them from the Garden, God ensured that they would not have access to the tree and thus would not be able to attain eternal life.

Submit
17. (Genesis 3:20) Adam called his wife Eve because:

Explanation

Adam called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living.

This implies that she would be the mother of all future generations and the source of life for humanity.

Explanation

In Genesis 37: 31-32, Joseph's brothers showed their father Joseph's coat, which they had dipped in the blood of a goat.

By using the blood of a goat, they were able to create a convincing illusion of Joseph's death.

Submit
