Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which river is described as the "great river" in the book of

Joshua (NIV)?

Answer: Euphrates

After Moses had died, God gave the authority to Joshua to

bring the Israelites into the land of Canaan. God told Joshua,
"Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and
from the great river, the Euphrates-all the Hittite country-to the
great sea on the west" (Joshua 1:4). The great sea here is the
Mediterranean.

2. When the Israelites marched around the city of Jericho,who

led the procession?

Answer: The armed guard

"When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests

carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward,
blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lords covenant
followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of the priests
who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark."
(Joshua 6:8, NIV) Then they marched around the city 13 times.

The priests blew their trumpets and the people shouted, and
the walls came tumbling down.

3. Where did Moses instruct the Israelites to build an altar to

the Lord when they had entered Canaan?

Answer: Ebal

Joshua 8:30-35 of the NIV tells us that Moses instructed the

Israelites to build an altar to the lord on Mount Ebal. They were
to use stones, coat them with plaster, and not use any iron tool
on them, and to write on them very clearly all the words of the
law.

Afterwards Joshua read all the blessings and curses of the law,
then half the people stood on Mount Ebal and pronounced
curses, while the other half of the people stood on Mount
Gerizim and pronounced blessings.

4. Over what land did Joshua ask God to make the sun stand
still?

Answer: Gibeon

"On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua
said to the Lord: in the presence of Israel: 'O sun, stand still
over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun
stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself
on its enemies." (Joshua 10:12-13, NIV)... "There has never been
a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a
man. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel."

5. After entering Canaan, how many kings did the Israelites

defeat?

Answer: 31

The Israelites defeated the kings of Jericho, Ai, Jerusalem,

Hebron, Jarmutht, Lachish, Eglon, Gezer, Debir, Hormah, Arad,
Libnah, Adullam, Makkedah, Bethel, Tappuh, Hepher, Apnek,
Laharon, Madon, Hazor, Shemran, Meron, Acshaph, Taanach,
Megiddo, Kedesh, Jokneam, Dor, Goyim, and Tirzah. Joshua
12:9-24 lists them and counts them as "Thirty-one kings in all"
(NIV).

6. Which city did Joshua assign to Caleb?

Answer: Hebron

When Moses sent out the twelve spies to spy out the land of
Canaan, Joshua and Caleb were the only two spies who
brought back a good report. For their faith in God, God
promised them land in Canaan, and this was fulfilled in the
Book of Joshua. "Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh
and gave him Hebron as his inheritance." (Joshua 14:13, NIV)

7. Whose daughters were named Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah,

Milcah and Tirzah?

Answer: Zelophehad's

Zelophehad had no sons, only daughters. So when it came to

handing out the land, they made sure they got their share.
They went to Joshua and the leaders and said, "The Lord
commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our
brothers." So, Joshua 17:4 reports, "Joshua gave them an
inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to
the Lord's commands."

8. Where was the Tent of Meeting placed when the Israelites

first settled in Canaan?

Answer: Shiloh

Joshua 18:1 of the New International Version tells us that The

Tent of Meeting was placed at Shiloh when the Israelites first
entered Canaan. However, after many years and many major
wars, in the time of King David the Tent of Meeting was placed
at Gilgal while the Ark of the Covenant was placed at
Jerusalem. Maybe this signified division in later years.

9. Who was the high priest when Israel entered Canaan under
Joshua?

Answer: Eleazar

Eleazar was the son of Aaron. He took over the duty of high
priest when Aaron died. He lived to see the Israelites enter
Canaan, then, "Eleazar son of Aaron died and was buried at
Gibeah, which had been allotted to his son Phinehas in the hill
country of Ephraim." (Joshua 24:33, NIV)

10. Who was stoned in the Valley of Achor?

Answer: Achan, son of Zerah

After the Israelites had taken Jericho, they were defeated while
attempting to take Ai. The reason was that Achan had kept
some of the plunder for himself. His entire family was stoned
along with him, and then burned. They heaped a large pile of
rocks over Achan and called that place, "The Valley of Achor".
(Joshua 7:25-26)
