Unfortunately, this Quiz will not be able to receive a prize:
Missing explanations.
E.g.: #q49, #q40, #q37 etc
An important part of study includes checking that the references/sources given are really reliable and correct. This Quiz teaches students to check for the references instead of just accepting the correct answer as stated.
My goal in producing this Quiz was to help students get interested in the Bible and read it, as so many do not really do that today. Therefore the explanations provide only references to correct verses and when the students read them they will add much to their knowledge of the Bible. That is educational in my opinion!
The original verdict was confirmed to be correct.
In addition to the above issues:
Missing explanations. All explanations simply refer to the source. E.g.: #q1, #q5, #q10, etc.
>>It would have been better if you added what the Bible says in that particular chapter and verse number in the explanations and then refer to the Bible readings. Simply referring to the Bible verse and chapter numbers as the explanation is not convenient as not everyone is close to a Bible or memorized the Bible readings while taking the quiz.
>>Also the explanation of the question about 5th plague [No.13] is misleading as the 5th plague itself was described in exodus 9:3 not 9:5
>>The question about if somebody stole a bull [No.17] has an error in the question as the Bible did not refer to a bull but an ox and the two things are different.
>>The question about Aaron's precious stones in the second row [No.20] has a typo of "brestpiece" instead of "breastpiece".
>>The same question [No.20] also has two correct answers: Sapphire and Emerald were found on the second row basing on the Bible read.
>>The question about a man eating a holy thing by mistake [No.29] has typo in the answer: "Fifth of it its value" instead of "Fifth of its value"
>>The question about Moses making a snake replica [No.38] has a typo in the question: "put in on a pole" instead of "put it on a pole"
>>The same question [No.38] also has a wrong accepted answer because the snake replica was made out of Bronze not copper
I did not include the quotations from the Bible verses in the answers because different people prefer to use different Bible translations. As you look some of my answers below you will understand my point.
Also Bible is readily available nowadays, for example as an app on a phone. If someone does not have the time or chance to check the references to the verses, then taking a screenshot would solve this problem. This is a just a question of preference but I can understand your point that some would prefer to see the verses quoted in the answers.
Question 13. You are absolutely correct. I don’t know what has happened but this was my mistake.. :(
Question 17. You are right that many Bible translations use the word ’ox’ instead of the ’bull’. However, the original Hebrew word is being used in the Bible in different ways. It has been translated for example in the following manner: ox, bullock, cow, bull, wall. And using the word ’bull’ in this question instead of the word ’ox’ would not prevent in any ways to pick the correct answer from the 4 options given.
Question 20. Thank you for spotting the typo!
About the precious stones: you are right about the confusion. Some Bible translations use the word ’emerald’ in the first row whereas other translations use it in the second row. I should have chosen another option to avoid the confusion.
Question 29. Thanks for spotting the typo!
Question 38. Thanks again for spotting the typo!
Again the issue is how the different Bible translations translate the word and how the original Hebrew word could be translated.
Also as you know bronze is mainly made out of copper. As bronze was not one of the options given for this question, one could conclude the correct answer.
I must thank you very much for scrutinizing the quiz and spotting the mistakes and I hope you enjoyed it after all! Your score was also fabulous, congratulations!
4. How long time did Noah spend in the ark altogether?
"time" should be omitted.
24. In comparison to giving birth to a male, for how long time was a woman to cleanse herself after giving birth to a female?
Again, "time" should be omitted here.
Also the answer "Double amount of the time" is better written as "double the amount of time". Same applies to triple. While the first option should be, "the same amount of time"
31. To serve in the army in Israel, man had to be at least how many years old?
You omitted "a" before "man".
41. Should be "struck down", not "stroke down".
43. At which of the following places the Israelites did not provoke God to anger?
Should be better written as "At which of the following places did the Israelites not provoke God to anger?"
46. The answer "Man who had started a business and had not made profit of it"
Should end with "profit from it"
Please note: These are minor typographical and/or grammatical errors which in my opinion does not diminish the overall fun, usefulness or educational purpose of the quiz.
Great work!
