Answers To Name Quiz

For everyone that took the Name Quiz in the March issue [previous page], I have provided the answers here.

The answers are listed in the language of the Scripture references (i.e. Gen. = Hebrew/Matt. = Greek), actual Greek appears in [ ], pronunciation, the Strong’s Concordance reference number, and a brief descriptive meaning of the word. If there is a Hebrew root for a Greek word available it is included in { } brackets. The Greek nouns have variable endings for the same word depending on the context. These endings are generally -s, -n, or -ou. The answers listed reflect the actual Greek text even though Strong’s shows only the -s ending of the words normally.

Question 24 answers will show both the Hebrew and Greek side-by-side, except for the New Testament Books where some Hebrew words are not shown. Also, only the Strong’s number for the Hebrew words are listed.
