Bible Bee Quiz Questions

Hmmm….D? or maybe B…. I have no clue…

Good one…I'm pretty sure it's D?

Goes to look it up

(but I won't post what I find, don't worry.)

Hello Devin,

Welcome to Memverse! Yes, I can see your posts. The first time a new member posts, it takes a couple days to show up, since it has to be manually approved. But now you should be good to go.

Yes, people are quizzing each other on the materials that we are studying for the Bible Bee. Are you in the Bible Bee?

It's funny that you asked about Tarsus and Tarshish. I used to think they were the same place too. But actually, Tarsus was a city in Cilicia, at the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea. (As you probably know, that was where Paul was from.) But the location of Tarshish is uncertain. It was probably a distant coastland settled by descendants of Japheth. Some speculate it was located in present-day Spain. If this is the case, it would have seemed like the very end of the earth to Jonah, and we get a glimpse of just how far he wanted to go to get away from God (and Nineveh).

I hope this helps!

can u see my posts?
