Bible Trivia: Not Your Typical Golden Oldies

In 1st Samuel 6: 4-7, the Hebrews tell the Philistines to return the Ark with guilt offerings of:

A:  golden doves

B:  golden rats

C:  golden calfs

D:  golden hemmeriods



 Datte Phuge loves gold too, he made a shirt out of it.

 ANSWER:  B & D

The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?”
They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your rulers. Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land. Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When Israel’s god dealt harshly with them, did they not send the Israelites out so they could go on their way?

 Ok, that is perhaps the nuttiest request that a jeweler will ever receive.

 well, ok.  other than that...
