Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Before Joshua could decide on taking Jericho, he sent two

men to spy it out. Where were these men from?

Answer: Shittim

Joshua 2:1. Though these men's identities weren't disclosed in

this verse, their homeland was given here. Aside from that,
Pithom is a city in Egypt, Sorek is a valley where Samson met
Delilah, and Nebo is the name of the mountain where Moses
died and was laid to rest by God.

2. What kind of plants did the two spies hide in on therooftop

of Rahab's house?

Answer: Flax

Joshua 2:6. The two spies and Rahab had anticipated that the
king of Jericho was going to conduct a search for the spies
themselves. With that, Rahab lied to the king's henchmen who
came for them, by telling them that she didn't know where the
spies were, thus leading them away from her house.

3. Before she hid the men, what did Rahab already know
about the children of Israel?

Answer: All of these

Joshua 2:10. These are all reasons why she did what she did
with the spies. Rahab had fear of the Lord and, for that,
received honorable mention in Hebrews 11:31.

4. What was the sign of the deal the spies made with Rahab?

Answer: a scarlet thread hanging out the window

Joshua 2:18-23. Rahab and the spies made a deal: If Rahab's

household were to exit the house and enter the streets by the
time Israel raided Jericho, whatever happened to them
wouldn't be their fault. If they staid inside the house along with
Rahab, anything that happened to them would be their fault.

The sign used to mark Rahab's house was the same scarlet
thread used to help the spies escape Jericho.

5. Who approached Joshua with a strategy to captureJericho?

Answer: the captain of the host of the Lord

Joshua 5:13-15. He first told Joshua to remove his shoes

because, like Moses, Joshua was standing on holy ground. The
idea given to Joshua was to have the children of Israel walk
around the city one time a day for six days. Then on the
seventh day they would walk around the city seven times.

6. As well as marching around the city for seven days, what

were the children of Israel also supposed to do after they
were done marching for the final time?

Answer: Shout

Joshua 6:5, also 6:16. It was told by the captain of the Lord's
host that the walls shall fall down when their walking is
complete, and it happened as it was foretold.

7. What did Joshua tell the children of Israel about the spoils
of Jericho?

Answer: All of these

Joshua 6:18-19. These were very simple instructions given by

Joshua. As we go along, we learn of someone in the camp of
Israel that didn't heed the word of Joshua about taking the
accursed things for themselves.

8. What was the name of the city where Joshua took up three
thousand men and failed to capture it?

Answer: Ai

Joshua 7:3-5. He ended up losing thirty-six men out those three

thousand he took up to Ai, all because of Achan's sin.

9. How many shekels of silver did Achan take out of Jericho?

Answer: 200

Joshua 7:21. Achan admitted to Joshua that he taken the 200

shekels of silver. He also took a Babylon-like garment, and a
golden wedge of 50 shekels weight.

10. What was Achan's punishment for taking accursed things

out of Jericho?

Answer: His sons and daughters were to be stoned along

with him

Joshua 7:23-26. Achan's punishment for stealing and covetous

behavior was highly extreme. Not only was he put to death, but
so were his children, his oxen, his donkeys, and his sheep. All of
these died, and his home tent was burned away and buried
under a heap of stones.
