Genesis Quiz

Ten questions, one book

The 10 questions here stay inside a single book, running its full span from creation to Joseph, with the ark chapters included along the way. Genesis carries more familiar narrative than any comparable stretch of the text, and the questions follow that narrative in the order the book gives it rather than skipping about.

Some readers arrive here having searched for a Noah quiz. Those chapters belong to this book, so the questions that touch them live on this page rather than on a page of their own.

How the answer key was checked

Two readers filled in the answers to these questions independently, each working from the text against the same fixed list, and their entries were compared one value at a time. Across the whole site that check ran to eighty-three comparisons, and all eighty-three agreed. The questions ask what Genesis itself says — according to Genesis, not according to any tradition built on it — and where a detail is told differently across accounts, the quiz leaves it alone.
