    Correct Answer

    How many cities were the Israelites to give to the Levites? Num 35:7

    • 0

    • 48

    Correct Answer
    A. 48
    Explanation
    In Numbers 35:7, it is stated that the Israelites were to give a total of 48 cities to the Levites. These cities were designated as cities of refuge, where individuals who had unintentionally committed manslaughter could seek protection from revenge. The Levites, who were the priestly tribe, were not given a specific territory like the other tribes of Israel, but were instead allocated these cities throughout the land. This allocation of 48 cities ensured that the Levites had places to live and carry out their religious duties among the other tribes.

    Moses commanded the daughters of the tribe of Mannaseh who received their father's land not to marry outside their tribe, so they married their cousins. Was this type of marriage going against God's law? (Cross reference Lev 18) Num 36:1-12

    • Yes, it was a sin to marry your cousin

    • No, God never prohibited marriage between cousins

    Correct Answer
    A. No, God never prohibited marriage between cousins
    Explanation
    The correct answer is no, God never prohibited marriage between cousins. In Leviticus 18, God provides a list of forbidden sexual relationships, but marriage between cousins is not mentioned. Therefore, there is no explicit prohibition against this type of marriage in God's law.

    • Until they could be judged in a court

    Correct Answer
    A. Until they could be judged in a court
    Explanation
    The correct answer is until they could be judged in a court. According to Num 35:12, if a person accidentally kills someone, they would be safe in a safe city until they can be judged in a court. This implies that the person would be protected from any retaliation or harm from the victim's family or friends while awaiting a fair trial and judgment.

    Correct Answer
    A. It depends on the circumstances and it is up to the court to decide
    Explanation
    According to Numbers 35:22-24, if a person kills someone accidentally, the circumstances must be considered by the court. The passage explains that there should be a fair trial to determine if the killing was truly accidental and without malice. The court's decision would depend on the specific details of the incident. Therefore, the answer is that it depends on the circumstances and it is up to the court to decide.

    • It is lawful, he may be killed

    • It is unlawful, as the court ruled he was under protection

    Correct Answer
    A. It is lawful, he may be killed
    Explanation
    According to the given answer, it is lawful for a family member of the victim to kill the person who accidentally killed their family member if the murderer leaves the safe city. This is because the court's decision to protect the person does not prevent the family member from seeking justice or taking matters into their own hands. The answer suggests that the court's ruling does not override the right of the victim's family to seek retribution.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, it is lawful
    Explanation
    According to Numbers 35:19, under God's law, it is lawful for a family member of a victim to intentionally chase and kill the murderer. This implies that the act of seeking vengeance and taking the life of the murderer is considered justifiable and permissible in certain circumstances.

    Rate this question:

    • If there were 0 witnesses

    • If there was only 1 witness

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    According to Numbers 35:30, an alleged murder should not be put to death if there were 0 witnesses or if there was only 1 witness. This implies that in order to carry out the death penalty for murder, there must be at least two witnesses to testify against the accused. If there are no witnesses or only one witness, the accused cannot be put to death.

    If a person accidentally kills someone, and they are found guilty by the court, under God's law, what can happen to that person? Num 35:24

    • They should be put in prison for the period of time decided by the court

    • They should be put in prison for life

    • They can be killed by the victim's family

    Correct Answer
    A. They can be killed by the victim's family
    Explanation
    According to the given answer, if a person accidentally kills someone and is found guilty by the court, under God's law, they can be killed by the victim's family. This suggests that the concept of "an eye for an eye" is being applied, where the victim's family has the right to seek retribution by taking the life of the person responsible for the death. This form of punishment aligns with the principle of justice and serves as a deterrent to prevent further harm.
