31) What did the Ark of the Covenant contain?


HEBREWS 9:4: This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

32) What was the first bird Noah sent out from the ark?


GENESIS 8:6-9: So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth.

33) How tall was Goliath?


1 SAMUEL 17:4: And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. (Taking a cubit to be approximately eighteen inches and a span to equal six, this figures to a height of approximately nine feet, six inches.)

34) What did God ask Abraham to sacrifice to him on Mount Moriah?


GENESIS 22:9-10: Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

35) How did Rahab let the invading Israelites know to spare her house?


JOSHUA 2:17-19: So the men said to her: "We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household to your own home. So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

36) Who was known as "the weeping prophet"?


Jeremiah was the son of Hilkiah, a Jewish priest from the Benjamite village of Anathoth. The difficulties he encountered, as described in the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, have prompted scholars to refer to him as "the weeping prophet".

37) Who succeeded Moses as leader of the Israelites?

40) How many times did Laban change Jacob's wages?


GENESIS 31:4-7: 4 So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to the fields where his flocks were. 5 He said to them, "I see that your father's attitude toward me is not what it was before, but the God of my father has been with me. 6 You know that I've worked for your father with all my strength, 7 yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times.
