Bible Trivia

The Bible is on of the most read books in the world. There is so much information in the Old and New Testaments, you may have missed some of this bible trivia.

The Bible says, “Before there was anything, there was God,” but do you remember what was created on the fourth day? On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and stars. Almost everyone knows that Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, but do you know what type of wood Noah used to make his ark? Noah used gopher wood, as God instructed. How did Noah know when the floodwaters had resided enough for dry land to be available? At first, he sent out a raven. When the raven returned with nothing, Noah knew the floodwaters were still too high. He later sent out a dove. When the dove returned with an olive branch, Noah knew there was dry land. You may remember that Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den. But how was he protected from harm? If you know your bible trivia, you know that Daniel was protected from the lions by angels that came down and shut the mouths of the angry lions.

There is quite a bit of Bible trivia about cities that still exist today. Do you know the name of the town where Jacob was living when Joseph sent for his family to move to Egypt? It is Beersheba, which is known as the “Capital of Negev.” There is one city from the Bible that is now referred to as the oldest continually inhabited city. Do you know which one it is?
