{mosimage}Every other Wednesday, a group of men gather together in my home in the wee hours of darkness to look more deeply into the Old Testament together, practicing their preaching, teaching & study skills.  As we work through the OT, they are expected to read it and to memorize key passages, themes, people, etc.

To test your knowledge of the Old Testament, here’s a replica of the test they took last week on Genesis:

1. What is the outline of Genesis?
2. Who was Enoch and how did he die?
3. Where in Genesis does it talk about Sodom & Gomorrah?  Which city did Lot live in?
4. What is the difference between chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis?
5. In what verses is the Abrahamic Covenant first described?
6. What chapter describes the fall of man?
7. Who did Jacob like better: Rachel or Leah?
8. Where does it say, ‘you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good"?
9. What does Genesis 22 describe?
10. What verse describes how a man should ‘leave and cleave’?
