Review For Test On Hebrew Scriptures

(If you weren't sure about this one, you might want to reread Exodus 2 before the test. If you chose the answer about the rabbit, you should get some sleep NOW.)

(See Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.)

(See Exodus 20.)

(See Exodus 3.)

(See Exodus 3.)

(God created humans on the SIXTH day, after creating land animals. Evicting Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden is in the OTHER creation story.)

Hagar was Sarah's slave. In the Bible, Hagar was an Egyptian servant who belonged to Sarah, the wife of Abraham. When Sarah was unable to have children, she gave Hagar to Abraham as a surrogate mother. Hagar became pregnant with Abraham's child, Ishmael, which caused tension and conflict within the family. Eventually, Sarah became jealous and mistreated Hagar, leading her to flee. Hagar's story is often seen as a symbol of oppression and mistreatment, as she was a slave who was used for reproductive purposes by her mistress.

(Exodus is the SECOND book of the Old Testament. Matthew is the first book of the NEW Testament. Revelation is the LAST book of the NEW Testament.)

The Covenant of the Jews refers to the agreement between God and the Israelites. This covenant is a central concept in Jewish theology, where God promises to protect and bless the Israelites as His chosen people, and in return, they agree to follow His commandments and worship only Him. This covenant is believed to have been established with Moses at Mount Sinai and is a foundational element of Jewish identity and faith.

(See Genesis 17.)

(See Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.)

(If you weren't sure about the answer to this one, you might want to reread Genesis 22:1-19 before the test.)

(See Exodus 2.)

(See Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.)

The correct answer is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. This is the correct order of the books of the Torah, which is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Genesis is the first book and it tells the story of creation and the early history of the Israelite people. Exodus follows, recounting the story of the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. Leviticus focuses on laws and rituals for the Israelites. Numbers describes the Israelites' journey in the wilderness and their organization as a community. Deuteronomy is the final book and contains Moses' final speeches to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land.

(See Exodus 2.)

(The entire Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, contains 24 books. The Torah is just the first 5 books of the Tanakh.)

(God created Adam, then the plants, then the animals--which Adam got to name but which were not suitable partners--and then Eve. God created light on the first day in the OTHER creation story.)

(See Genesis 22.)

God created Adam by forming him from the dust of the earth and breathing into his nostrils. This explanation is based on the biblical account of creation in the book of Genesis. According to this account, God formed Adam's body from the dust of the ground and then breathed life into him, giving him a living soul. This act of creation demonstrates God's power and intentionality in creating the first human being.

(The Bible doesn't say the fruit was an apple. Yes, Adam and Eve did use fig leaves as clothing, so there were apparently fig trees in the Garden of Eden, but the Bible doesn't say the fruit was a fig. It's just the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden before they could eat from the tree of life and become immortal.)

Isaac was the son of Sarah and Abraham. He was born to them in their old age, fulfilling God's promise to give them a child. Isaac is an important figure in the Abrahamic religions, particularly in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is considered one of the patriarchs and is known for his willingness to be sacrificed by his father Abraham, a test of faith. Isaac went on to father two sons, Jacob and Esau, and is seen as a key figure in the lineage leading to the establishment of the Israelite nation.

In Genesis, God called the dome separating the waters above from the waters below as "Sky." This is supported by the biblical account where it is mentioned that God called the expanse "sky" and it separated the waters above from the waters below. The term "sky" refers to the atmosphere or the visible heavens above the Earth.

Ishmael was the biological son of Sarah's servant, Hagar. In the biblical story, Sarah was unable to have children, so she gave her servant Hagar to her husband Abraham to bear a child on her behalf. Ishmael was born as a result of this arrangement. Later, Sarah herself miraculously gave birth to Isaac, who became Abraham's heir and the father of the Israelite nation.

Before God renamed her, Sarah's name was Sarai.

(They appear twice in the Torah: in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.)

(Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.)

(See Genesis 16.)

(I really want you all to get this point: Catholics do NOT read the Bible as if it contains "scientific" information.)

The Pentateuch refers to the first five books of the Bible, which are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books are also known as the Torah in the Jewish tradition. They contain important narratives, laws, and teachings that are foundational to both Judaism and Christianity. The Pentateuch is considered to be of great historical and religious significance, as it provides the basis for understanding the origins of the world, the Israelite people, and their relationship with God.

(Catholics do NOT read the Bible as if everything in it is literally or historically or scientifically true. Catholics read the Bible for RELIGIOUS, spiritual, ethical, existential truths.)
