Parsha Quiz - November 13th

In ancient times, making a vow or oath by placing one's hand under the thigh of another person was a common practice. This gesture symbolized a solemn promise and was seen as a way of showing respect and submission to the person being sworn to. In this case, Eliezer swore to Avraham by placing his hand under Avraham's thigh, indicating his commitment and loyalty to his master. The word "thigh" is translated as "yerech" in Hebrew, which is why all the given options are correct.

The question is asking about the time of day when Eliezer arrived in Charan. The answer options "evening," "late afternoon," "in the evening," and "the evening" all indicate that Eliezer arrived during the evening hours. Therefore, any of these options can be considered as the correct answer.

When Rivka first saw Yitzchak, she had a strong reaction and fell off the camel. The multiple variations of the answer emphasize the same action of falling off the camel, whether it is mentioned as "she fell off the camel," "fell off the camel," or "fell off camel." Additionally, the answer also includes the possibility of Rivka jumping off the camel, which indicates a sudden and spontaneous reaction to seeing Yitzchak.

The correct answer is ketura/keturah.

Avraham lived for 175 years. This is stated in the answer itself.

Sarah was 127 years old when she died. This is indicated by the numerical value "127" as well as the written form "one hundred twenty seven" and the Hebrew letters "קכ"ז". All three representations convey the same age, confirming that Sarah was indeed 127 years old at the time of her death.

The correct answer is "חיי שרה" (Chayei Sarah). This is the exact name of this week's parasha in Hebrew. "Chayei Sarah" translates to "The Life of Sarah" in English. In this parasha, the narrative focuses on the life and death of Sarah, the wife of Abraham, as well as the events surrounding the search for a suitable wife for their son Isaac.

The correct answer is Yishmael, Ishmael, ישמעאל, yishmel. These are all different spellings of the same name, which was the name of Avraham's oldest son.

Avraham bought Me'arat Hamachpela from Efron.

Avraham paid 400 silver coins for the cave.

The correct answer is "I will go" because it directly responds to Betuel's question and indicates Rivka's willingness to accompany Eliezer. The other options, "Yes" and "I want to go," also convey her agreement, but "I will go" specifically addresses the question and provides a clear response. The option "Nothing" does not relate to the question and is therefore not a suitable answer.

Rivka's brother's name was Lavan.

Eliezer did not give earrings to Rivka.

Eliezer took 10 animals.

Betuel is the correct answer because in the biblical narrative, Betuel is mentioned as the father of Rivka (Rebecca). He is also described as the father of Laban and the grandfather of Rachel and Leah. Betuel plays a significant role in the story of Rivka's marriage to Isaac, as he is consulted by Abraham's servant and gives his consent for the marriage to take place. Therefore, based on the biblical account, Betuel is the name of Rivka's father.

Yitzchak and Rivka were not first cousins.

Eliezer ate nothing when he first came into Betuel's house.

At the end of this week's parasha, Yitzchak lived in Beer Lachai Roi.
