July 1 Bible Bee quiz
Posted on July 01, 2011
Ben Watt is hosting the July 1st Bible Bee practice quiz at 4:00 PM EDT (8:00 PM GMT). We will use this blog post for the first one. We expect the quiz to last a little over half of an hour and there will be fifteen questions. For ten of the questions (the first five and the last five), I will post a comment with the text of a Bible Bee verse passage in all five Bible Bee approved versions (NIV, ESV, KJV, NKJV, and NASB) and you will have a minute to post the reference. For five of the questions (they will be in the middle of the quiz), he will post a reference and you will have several minutes to respond with the reference at the beginning, the verse text in the middle, and the reference again at the end. Please also include your version to make it easier for scoring. For example, if he comments with Genesis 1:1, the correct response would be something like this:
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIV
If you do not include your version in each comment, it makes it more difficult for the volunteers helping to score. Omitting a reference or your version will cost you a point for each occurrence.
You can receive a maximum of 12 points for each type of question. For details on the scoring for "recitations", please see below. For the questions where you post a reference for the verse text given, you will receive four points for the correct book, four points for the correct chapter, and four points for the correct verse number. For example, if you posted 2 John 1:9 instead of 1 John 1:9, you would receive 8 points.
Over half of the questions will be Primary verses and several may be drawn from the Junior verses.
If you would like to help score, please let me know after we finish the quiz by posting a comment with the text "helpscore" in it. Otherwise, it is difficult to keep track of who is helping. If you indicate that you would like to help score, I will have information about how to score and will assign you to a few people. You can then look for their answers on the page (CTRL + F in many browsers allows you to search and find their name and comments) and tabulate them on your computer. When you have a final score for a person, you will please post it in a comment with their name. When all scores are returned, this post will be updated with that information.
If you plan to be participating in the quiz or have any questions, please indicate that in a comment below (unless you have already done so on the other blog post). I also welcome any suggestions. Hope to see you there! Thanks.
How we score recitations: The maximum score for a recitation is 12 points. Like the Bible Bee, leaving off a reference at the beginning or end of a "recitation" is a 1-point deduction, as is any one word error (one word omission, insertion, or change - like swapping "created" for "made"). You see above the correct response for reciting Genesis 1:1. Here is a 6-point recitation in NIV:
In the beginning He created the earth and heavens. Genesis 1:1
We start with 12 points, then evaluate the recitation: one point is subtracted for forgetting the reference at the beginning, another point is subtracted for using "He" in place of "God", two points are subtracted for switching "heavens" and "earth" (it was two one-word changes) and another point for leaving out "the" (second-to-last word). Additionally, we subtract a point because the response did not include the version. Please note that you cannot count more than 12 errors - i.e., no one ends up with a negative score on a passage. If you want to help score but have questions on how this works, please ask us for clarification.
We are working on a new Memverse live quiz feature with automatic scoring for use in the next few weeks.
Thanks Ben for running this quiz!
Comment guidelines: Please stay on topic as this helps everyone who scores your answers. Let's see how many people we can have participating with as few comments as possible. :) Thank you for your cooperation!
Please note: As Andy mentioned in the comments, please make sure you have 8 verses in your account (Learning or Memorized) so that your comments do not have to be approved.

What week(s) will the majority of this quiz's questions come from, if you don't mind my asking (just for the sake of knowing what to review over the next three hours)?
We'll miss those of you who can't make it this time and hope to see you next time!
Christian - Mostly this week's verses (Week 4).
Really want to do this! But I am not sure how well I will do, because we got our stuff two weeks late..... So i am not yet on week 4 for verses :) (I don't normally do the verses in order, they confuse me when I am learning them like you'll have a whole bunch of Exodus and then you just get confused. If you know what I mean)
But i will try to be there! If not.... Good luck you guys!
Kylie
Audrey and Andrew--are you related? You both are in Georgia, you joined Memverse on the same day, and you both have the same amount of verses to learn--111. :)
You're right SBG! And they both have the same amount from History and Wisdom! :) Haha! That's kinda cool!
I really hope I can make this one...I'm not sure because I might have family coming for dinner...but I'm going to try really hard to make it!
So, do I have to have my version in the body of my answer (for the answers that I need to type in the verse) since I already have it on my profile name? Will I have a point deducted?
Looking forward to it!
Hey SavedByGrace - you're right! I am really good friends with them and yes, they ARE siblings. so cool! :)
@Zacharay McMahan - You're using NASB????!!!!! Finally, someone else with NASB too!
I will be doing the quiz again (without my brother) so I probably won't be getting first place again :)
I love NASB! Is is easy but hard at the same time :) I REALLY like that it is a word for word translation.
@Zachary Baas (Version: NKJV) - Yes, that is fine to put your bible version in your name. It serves the purpose of indicating your version for the scorers.
@David Stelzl Jr. - Thank you for volunteering to help score.
Grace Mieczkowski, you might just want to put your version in there anyway to make it easier to score.
Hope this helps.
If anybody else has a better answer, go for it!
@Grace - If you have your version in your name, you do not need to put it in the body of your answer. No points will be deducted.
@Simeon - The quiz will begin in about 10 minutes at 4:00 EDT.
I updated my looooongggggg user name to BibleBeeJunior11 (NASB) just for the quiz! :)
Ok, I just changed my profile name so it has my version. I think this will make it a lot easier for both of us based on soe on the posts I have seen.
Ben:
Thanks for holding the quiz...I'm really looking forward to it! I will be using the ESV.
Simeon - Ben will be starting in a few minutes. Not sure how that converts to Alaska time. I can check... Edit: OK, got the same time as David did: noon your time. :)
Simeon, unless I calculated wrong, you should be starting around 12:00 your time - that is if you really are 4 hours behind EDT
Simeon, if it is noon there, it is just about 4 here, which is when it starts. Just hang on. We should be starting in about 5 min.
Just keep refreshing your page!
Glad you are participating.
Hey, I just found that I actually AM going to be able to participate--at least I REALLY think so. I can't wait to get started!!
@Zachary - yeah, I met her at Nationals last year when she was entertaining or something for the primarys while we waited because we were really bored. :) and she wrote the sword study didn't she?
@Bethany (Bible Bee): yes, my little sister is a Primary this year. Her first year to do it! :)
Everyone, make sure you have add least 8 verses total (Learning or Memorized) in your account. That way your comments won't need to be approved by moderators.
Welcome to the live Memverse Bible Bee quiz for Week 4 (with three questions relating to the previous weeks).
I will begin by posting the text of a passage in all five Bible Bee versions, for which you identify the reference. Please post the reference in a comment and indicate which question you are answering. For example, post “Q #1 – Genesis 1:1.â€
The quiz will begin in one minute. There will be about three minutes between each reference question. Thank you!
P.S. – Please ask any questions you may have now.
@DSJ-- :) So that you can know who you are talking to! It is also a normal thing for commenters on practically anything. Remember, though, stay on subject! Who's running this quiz?
That is sooo cool! I was at Nationals last year too!! We probably saw each other! Yeah! She did! I love it!
Question 1
ESV: "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.
KJV: Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
NASB: “You are My witnesses,†declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. “I, even I, am the LORD,
And there is no savior besides Me.
NKJV: “You are My witnesses,†says the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.
NIV: “You are my witnesses,†declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.
Isaiah 43:10-11NIV The 11 reminds you of the 2 I's athe end of the verse which remind you of eye witnesses!
Question 2
ESV: As he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish. The king declared to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?" Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever! My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm."
KJV: And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
NASB: When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?†Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.â€
NKJV: And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?†Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.â€
NIV: When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?†Daniel answered, “O king, live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.â€
@ZMM--no, but you lose points for missing them.
Oh, sorry, Alex. I didn't see your comment. Like I've said before, I'll try to stop giving information I'm not completely sure about. :)
Zachary McMahan - Yes, you get 4 points for correct book, 4 for correct chapter, and 4 for correct verse.
I haven't got to that one yet!!! (I was studying but just haven't finished this week)I only know it's in Daniel.
Question 3
ESV: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
KJV: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
NASB: For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
NKJV: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
NIV: For I know the plans I have for you,†declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Yes, Zachary, you can get points for whatever you post, even if you don't specify the chapter or verse.
Question 4
ESV: "Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
KJV: Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
NASB: “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.

NIV: “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
Matthew - That is helpful, but not required. If you don't mind, please do include it in the future. I should have put that in the post. Thanks.
my brother and i r doing this on the same account so....I will put my answer and then my brother's answer...
@B(BB)--it doesn't matter, really. In your case, especially--Leviticus was spelled right! :)
Question 5
ESV: It will be said on that day, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
KJV: And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
NASB: And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.â€
NKJV: And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.â€
NIV: In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.â€
Alright, I'm here now. I'm going to do my best to catch up without basing my answers on the popular opinion. I won't cheat. Whatever I answer is what I would have answered without being behind.
We will now begin recitations. I will post a reference, and you respond by typing the reference, the text of the passage (according to your memory), the reference again, and the Bible version you used in your recitation. BTW, it is helpful to those scoring to post “Pass†for a passage you cannot or do not wish to “recite.†But please also be sure to indicate which question you are passing on (e.g. Q #6 – Pass).
There will be about four or five minutes between the “recitation†questions. We will begin them now. Thank you!

Hey guys, no Bible is "better" than another. They are all translated from the direct inspiration of God!
BBJ11 I have been taking Drivers ed all wk, and I have not worked on Bible bee at all!
@ Zachary M.: This will sound weird if not accurate, but are you related to the woman who wrote the Sword Study books? Her last name is McMahan too, so I was just wondering.
Question 9
Pass
@BibleBeeJunior11 The only problem with NASB is I feel like so few people use it so it's easy to get mixed up with the NIV! But yes, it's awesome! :)
@Zachary - yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Me and Audrey and Andrew are "studying" together... or wanted to but havent had the chance! that makes 5 nasb 's now!!
do we get points if we include the correct book/chapter/verse but can't remeber the whole thing? for the verses like Q 1-5? For example, lets say Ben put this verse up "In the begining, God created the heaven and the earth." If I didn't know the refrence but knew it was in Gensis somewhere, would I still get points for that??
@Jamie :) glad you're doing timothy track
@ SavedByGrace - Hey! I just realized that both you and your brother's pictures only have one tooth! Does that run in your family? :)
Amen to that!! I hope I didn'toffend anyone. I used to be NIV and really enjoyed that version too. Sorry.
Isaiah 44:6 - This is what the LORD Almighty says, "I am the LORD, that is my Name; I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. - Isaiah 44:6 (NIV) ~ Not sure, this might be totally off. So many references to learn. But it is good. :)
Isaiah 44:6 - Thus says the LORD the King of Israel and His redeemer the LORD of hosts, I am the first and I am the last and besides me there is no god.
@Jamie: I didn't notice that! That's weird! I haven't noticed anyone else with one tooth. Nice observation.

This has nothing to do with the quiz, but how do you reset your scedule? When I click on the button, it disappers but nothing happens. What should I do?
@ Runner
It disappears, but then your schedule should be reset. That happened for me, and it worked fine.
Question #12--
Isaiah 40:28-29
Yeah, I think Q11 was skipped or this one was misnamed.
Q #12
Audrey's answer: Pass............................................ Where is question 11?
Andrew's answer: Pass. I am going to try and work harder
and 12...this is confusing... isaiah 40:28-29 do you not know... that verse for the reference :)
Question 11 (sorry! I accidentally skipped over this!)
ESV: Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.
KJV: Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
NASB: Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!†Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them. Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God.
NKJV: Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.†Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!
NIV: Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!†So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
Question 12 - know forgot to say I think it is in Isaiah
Question 11 - Daniel 3:???

Question 13
ESV: Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

NASB: He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
NKJV: He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Question 14
ESV: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD hasanointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
KJV: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
NASB: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
NKJV: “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.â€
NIV: The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

Ben is working to assign you people to help with. Thanks for your patience.
Zachary - Hopefully your score will be out here in a few hours. :)
Thank you so much for this fun quz!! I enjoyed it although I think I did better last week :)
By the way how many of you are doing Timothy Track and are in the Junior Division??? Just wondering :D
Have a wonderful evening ya'll!
David - Ben posted the text for other versions. Can you do them, or still no? Either way is OK.
Simeon - We're getting there! Ben is a bit overwhelmed at the moment!
@ Bethany: Yep!
@ Rachel: It's up from seven, and beside Backspace, on the right side of your keyboard. Hope I helped~ :D
Alex, If Rachel has Reference pass Reference version, does she get 2 points for putting the reference in?
I REALLY appriciate all that you guys are doing here on MemVerse and in the Bible Bee!
Thanks for an awesome quiz and I hope to be able to attend the next one.
I look forward to seeing the scores but don't rush it; we can wait.
Thanks Again and God Bless,
Zach
@ Elisabeth: Press the numbers on the right side of the keyboard (not the top) And hold down Alt and press three. Let go and you have a ♥
@ Rachel: Use the numbers to the right side of your keyboard.
David - Thanks for asking. Remember that you start with 12 points and then subtract. If the verse part was only 10 words long then she would still get 2 points (start with 12 - 10 word omissions = 2). Likely, however, there will not be any points awarded. Thanks.
oh okay then I can't do them because I'm using a laptop to I couldn'tt do them :( :(
Audrey, I've been trying to figure this out, but I don't have a num lock key on this keyboard!!
Ditto, Rachel Crosswhite!
@Christian Alexander - Thank you for volunteering but I think that everybody is being scored now. Sorry for my late response.
@RC: Yeah, I can't do it on my laptop, but on our larger, older desktop computer, it is possible. There are a bunch of cool symbols you can do.
@ Ben: Alrighty then. That's easier for me. :D I'll hopefully be here to help next time.
@ Rachel: Use the numbers to the right side of your keyboard and hold down Alt and press any of the numbers. Press the number beside the sign while holding Alt, and you'll get it: 1,☺ 2,☻ 3,♥ 4,♦ 5,♣ 6, ♠7,• 8,◘ 9, ○ 10, ◙ 11, ♂ 12,♀ 13,♪ 14,♫ 15,☼ 16,► 17,◄ 18,↕ 19,‼ 20, ¶ 21,§ 22,▬ 23,↨ 24,↑ 25↓ 26,→ 27,↠28,∟ 29,↔ 30,▲ 31,▼.
ALEX: What do you do, when the person makes lots of mistakes, that it doesn't exactly match with the verse. She put "Thus says the LORD" when it is this: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:" She does the end of the verse pretty perfectly though.
How many would I take off?
Yay oh Yay!!! I just did my verse review for today and memorized my first two verses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! :D
@Simeon - Thank you for volunteering to help but I believe that everyone who participated has already been assigned to a judge. I apologize for the mistake.
@Alex,
For Questions 6-10:
Rachel Crosswhite; 35
Elizabeth Sinclair; 0
Jamie; 0
Joshua Harrell; 47
I assume you will add their scores from 1-5 and 11-15
Forget the num lock. Just hold down Alt, press some numbers on the right side of any keyboard, and when you let go of Alt after you've pressed the numbers, you will get the sign.
@Rachel: I am using a laptop too. Forget the num lock. I'm not the best explainer XD
oh yes - this is a question for the moderaters - what do "Level" on Memverse mean? Because I go on profiles and it says they are on "level one" or whatever :)
Rachel, you move up a level when you complete various assignements...like tagging verses, memorizing verses in specific categories, etc.
Does anybody know if you can like send friend requests or post on profiles or anything like that?
Rachel - Levels are a somewhat new feature to encourage everyone to understand how Memverse works and to memorize verses from various sections of the Bible. To pass each level, you must complete more "quests". If you go to your own Dashboard (under Account), you can see what you need to get to the next level.
David Stelzl Jr., that is interesting about the levels! That is neat that your scored me on 6-10 because I've been corsponding with your sister Sarah about the Bible bee. BTW we are in ATI as well :)
@BibleBeeJunior11
My sister Melody made it to Nationals and Finals (at Nationals) last year - that would be where you saw the name!
@Rachel: I would tell you because she's my real life friend, but the thing is that I don't even know Lol
@Grace Mieczkowski
I remember watching Melody at Nationals! I was sad when she got out because I made that exact mistake every time when I was practicing!
@Rachel Crosswhite: Melody took 6th place in Finals (there were six places because Seth Lehman was added back in due to a judging error in the Semi-Finals).
Here are the scores for questions 6-10 for the people I scored:
David-- 0
Sarah Stelzl-- 41
BibleBeeJunior11-- 24
Grace - Thanks for volunteering. Ben got everyone covered with assigning... I think he was giving everyone three or four people and before he knew it, all the bases were covered. Sorry about that.
Scores for questions 6-10
Andrew: 12
Audrey: 4
Carissa (Bible Bee): 59
Zachary: 46
Bethany (Bible Bee): 36
Matthew Sinclair: 0
@Alex and Ben - No problem :)
Thank you so much for this quiz! I'm looking forward to future ones...
I am still tentatively available on these Fridays to run a quiz: July 22nd, August 12th and 19th. Let me know if it would work for any of those days and then I can confirm with the family schedule!
Could we do a Bible Bee quiz every Friday at 4:00? That would be fun!
Scores: question 6-10
Nina:
Total: 28 points
Christian Alexander:
Total: 48 points
Alex Watt:
Total: 36 points
GREAT JOB ALEX, CHRISTIAN AND NINA {and everyone else too=)}
I love those little signs, Audrey! My sister taught me how to do them! ☼
BEN - (or Alex) do you know when all the scores will be posted?
@BibleBeeJunior11: *Jumps* O_O Hold down Alt, and press three in the numbers on the right side of ur keyboard. Hold down Alt, while your doing that press three at the same time as your holding alt, and then let go and you have a ♥
Jamie - Probably they will be posted by 8:00 PM EDT, hopefully sooner (like the next half of an hour).
@BibleBeeJunior11: That would be so much fun!!!
And Btw, nobody has answered my question. Can you like send friend requests and post on people's profiles and stuff???
Alex - Thanks, I'll look for them every now and then.
Ben - Thanks for hosting the quiz. I'm already looking forwards to the next one even thought I did really bad on this one!
EVERYONE - Great job!
@ Jamie: Ik right? ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙♂♀♪♫☼►◄↕‼¶§▬↨↑↓→â†âˆŸâ†”▲▼ XD
Audrey - No, you cannot send friend requests or post on people's profiles, because sites like FaceBook allow you to do that, if you have your parent's permission to use them.
@ Alex: Oh............. Oh well. I don't have facebook or anything like that.
ALEX: I need help with this one:
She put: Q8: Psalm 70:4 - May all who see your salvation rejoice in you! May those who seek you say evermore, "God is great!." Psalm 70:4 ESV
The correct one: May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, "God is great!"
How would I do that one??
Bethany, it looks like you would subtract 9 points from that one because she messed up 9 words
@ Jamie: K, bye!
Gotta go as well. Bye everyone and have a blessed day and stuff! XD C ya! ☼
Here are the scores for Simeon and Saved by Grace (questions 6-11) (still working on the others) -
Simeon-
total - 24
Saved by Grace-
total - 47
Hey, I just figured out how to do that ALT, NUMLOCK, number on the side thing! Unfortunately, it was on a desktop without Internet, not a laptop. But there are much more than just thirty-two symbols. You can go so far as to write in Greek, Thai, Hebrew, Chinese, and more! It's amazing!
Yeah, take *at least* 9 off, Bethany :)
Thanks for your patience with my very mixed up recitations!
ALEX: Sorry, I have another question:
She put: Psalm 70:4 But may all who seek you be glad in you;and may they rejoice saying "Let God be exalted!"Psalm 70:4 NIV
It really is: NIV: But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say, “Let God be exalted!â€
How did she do on that -- what would her points be? Sorry, I'm asking lots of question :(
Oh, it's fine, Grace! You did better than I, because I passed a LOT of mine....at least you answered :)
Thank you, SBG, for your help....Here's the question:
She put: Psalm 70:4 But may all who seek you be glad in you;and may they rejoice saying "Let God be exalted!"Psalm 70:4 NIV
It really is: NIV: But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say, “Let God be exalted!â€
How did she do on that -- what would her points be?
I'll try!
I'm pretty sure that you would take off 10 points, between the omissions, additions, and substitutions :)
BTW, are you the Bethany that's on the Accountability Forum? Or, I should say, on it in spirit?
Thank Alex! I appreciate your help. My question is right above this one...as you probably already know :) What would her score be?
ALEX....you told me to take off 12 and others to take off 10.
Should I just take of 12 or what?
Kind of confusing, sorry.
@SBG: Thanks for trying to help. It is appreciated.
@Grace: Yes, that is me :) Ashley is very kindly posting them under her name.
Alright Grace. It was kind of confusing having lots of different answers :) Thanks, Alex!
@DAVID. Sorry, Sorry, I was just saying it was little bit confusing have three different people telling me different answers, and I wasn't sure who to go by.
I wasn't trying to be mean, and thank's SO much for your help, it is appreciated!
Here is Rachel's score
Rachel
total - 22
BTW - I have to go now for supper. Thanks for doing the quiz Ben Watt and anyone who helped. I can't wait to see what my score is!!
I have to leave for a little bit also. Thanks Ben for holding the quiz. And thanks to Alex, Grace, SBG and David who helped answer my question :)
Grace - On doing upcoming quizzes, thanks for asking! Why don't we take it a few weeks at a time... Would you be able to confirm July 22 at 4 PM EDT? Thanks. We're going to check to see if we can do one next Friday or the following Friday... We also would rather not run another quiz until the new feature is out :) but we might anyway.
Congratulations Carissa, on the highest score! And congratulations to everyone who participated in this week's Bible Bee Quiz.
How'd that sound?? :) LOL
Hey Andrew. Yep, I think THEY met Audrey...she's popular! :) LOL But I've met both of you in real life... ha to the rest of you! jkjk lol :) just kidding :)
Was that meant to sound like you were advertising the restaurant with the two yellow arches, Jamie?
(jk)
Awww, Man! Too bad I missed it this time... :-( Does anybody know when the next one is?? Thanks!
@SavedByGrace: I looked back at your comment that said Are you two related? and yes we are. He's my brother. ^_^
Alright, Simeon, then I'll just call it "the place with the golden arches." I tried to edit the comment, but I couldn't.
@Audrey--what on earth does "XD" mean?!
@SavedByGrace: XD is a laughing face. Tilt your head to the left and you'll see the eyes and the mouth.
Ohh... I see. That's got to be one of the wierdest motocons I've ever seen. :)
@Hunter McMahan--quizzes will be on Fridays at 4:00 EDT time. All of them have been on blog post comments for the past three weeks, but it's probable that the next one will be on a new Memverse feature specifically meant for quizzes like these.
this is neat! I got one one point less than I did on the last quiz! Thanks so much Ben for having this quiz
Yeah, thanks a bunch, Ben! I hope we didn't presure you with the scores or anything Lol ♫ :D
I missed it too!!!! Zach came and said "I didn't see you on the quiz" and I freaked out!!!
@Carissa: Oh, and I forgot to tell you something... Congrats! You won! But of course we all won because we have the word of God memorized in our hearts!
@SavedByGrace: Why thank you, thank you very much~ :>
Great job,Carissa! I got 82 points... and I left early!!!!! How exciting!! By the way, I was going to a baseball game where there were fireworks at the end. That's why I had to leave. It was fun! Wish I could have finished the test though. *tears* : )
Rachel: My little brother is 10 and is a Primary, but he doesn't have an account on Memverse.
BEN: Yes, thanks for doing the quiz! You did a wonderful job doing it! Hmmm....maybe you would let me do a quiz one day. We'll see though, I'd have to talk to my parents.
Sorry, no, Matthew Sinclair. I'm from Ohio and probably will be for quite a while. :) Why do you ask about Louisiana?
Also, if you want to see if anyone else on Memverse is from either of those states, brush over the "Leaderboards" tab and click on "State Leaderboard." Then you can see if Louisiana or Mississippi is included there. Click on a state to see the people from Memverse that are in it.
One more thing. We all need to remember that adding extra comments can slow the Memverse system down, as Andy has said, so we should try to stay on topic. It's fun to chat, but here is probably not the best place to do it. :) Thank you!
I live in MS but have Bible Bee meetings in Monroe, LA. Thanks for the tip. Sorry about the chat.Ü Thanks a bunch.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!
Every time I add something into a comment it doesn't show it until I write another comment!!!! In the first comment I only wrote the first paragraph. When I tried to add the last two, it didn't seem like it had put it on the comment, so in the second comment I wrote that I had tried to add the last two paragraphs but it wouldn't let me. Then I proceeded to write the last two paragraphs. But when I had done this, I saw that it HAD added the last two paragraphs, so I tried to go back and delete the comment. It didn't seem to let me do that, either. So I wrote that last comment as an apology for writing the same thing twice, then I saw that the second comment HAD been deleted. So now I'm writing this comment as an apology for the confusion. Sorry!
SavedByGrace - Actually, it may have to do with a new feature Andy implemented related to caching to reduce the load on the database. In any case, don't panic if an edit doesn't show up for a few minutes. Thanks.
Okay, Alex. Man, I really need to stop answering questions! I guess I don't know as much as I thought! Sorry again!
@SBG A few days ago you asked about the people on memverse and what they wee doing and so on..... so here's my answer: My name is Rachel Ledford and I'm 10 years old in Primary. (Why I asked, Bethany) I just finished 5th grade and am homeschooled. It was exciting to see all these homeschoolers in the Bible Bee! My birthday is on November 17th.... extremely close to the date for how old you will be to see what catergory your in! I was nearly in Junior but just missed the deadline. : ) My younger sister is also in the Bible Bee doing Timothy Track and is 8. My older sister would be in Junior (at 13) but is not doing the Bible Bee. My younger sister does not use memverse and this is both of our's 1st year participating. I met President Bush (while he was still president) and his wife at 7. I am very good at spelling. My dad is a pastor at Westminister Church PCA. I'm very excited about the Bible Bee. I live in Butler, PA. I hope to meet some of you some day. Is anybody else around my area? Thanks!!!!!!!!!
@Rachel: I'm also in Butler County. Are you going to the Watt's Local Bee? I'm specifically in Cranberry in Butler...
Hey Rachel, I'm not near you but I saw you were in the Bible Bee and were almost a Jr. I just became a Jr. But it's fun! Do you like the Sword Study?(My mom wrote it!!!)
Hey guys, looks like you had a great quiz! I was really sad I missed it as I was at camp.
Alex, are we going to be doing another one this Friday, the 8th?
Sarah and Alex: I don't think I will be able to make it on this quiz or the next one. We are going to see family this Friday and next Friday were going to the Scriptoruim in Hannibal (sp?). Has anyone heard of it?
I would really like to lead a quiz...I would have to talk to my parents and I don't even now if you need any people to help with them. We'll see, though.
Rachel - It was great to have you in the quiz! Since you are also in the Southwest PA Bible Bee, just like Josiah and several others on here, maybe you can change your church/group in your Profile (under the Account tab) to "Southwest PA Bible Bee".
Sarah - I have to check and should have an answer tomorrow.
Bethany - That sounds like a great opportunity. Phil Walker has spoken well of it. If you ever would like to lead a quiz with your parent's permission, let us know. Thanks.
Alex: I will have to talk with them and see if it works. Yes, we are really looking forward to going to the Scriptoruim...it is in just over a week away! We are all quite excited...and it has been wonderful to memorize more of God's precious Word! Have you ever been there before? This is our first year to be doing it...and hopefully, we'll do it again next year! My family and I are memorizing some of the end chapters of 1 Samuel...21-28 :)
Ashley, your mom wrote the Sword Study?!?!?!
Alex, if no one is willing to host a quiz on the 8th, I will. I don't want anyone to miss out on a week though.
@Alex:
I talked with both my parents and they said that it would be fine if I led a quiz. So far, other than these next two Fridays, any Friday would work. I don't think we have anything going on in them. Just tell me, if it will work; and if so, what date to plan. Thanks! :)
Bethany - Can you do a quiz on Friday, July 22 or 29, at 4 PM EDT? Grace may be doing the 22nd, so perhaps you can do the 29th, or be open to doing the 22nd if she is not available. I only expect you to do one or the other. :) If we are sure that the 22nd will be taken care of, I will update the latest blog post about upcoming quizzes. Thanks!
Sarah - I think I got this week covered, but if you would like to host next week's quiz (July 15 at 4:00 PM EDT), please let me know.
@Alex:
I belive that the 22nd or the 29th would work...anything but these next two quizzes :( I wish I didn't have to miss them...oh well! I will enjoy looking through the answers when we get back :) Just tell me what day, and I'll plan to do it! Thanks.
Also, we live in MO and our time zones aren't the same. What time, would it be here, when it is 4:00 PM EDT there? At first, I thought we were half an hour behind you, and then next time a whole hour...so I wasn't sure. Where would I go to find out? Or, if you knew right off you could tell me =) Thanks.
Bethany, what time zone do you live in? I live in Central, and I think you do too, so 4PM EDT is 3PM for me, and maybe for you. Hope that helps.
Alex, the 15th sounds great! :)
Bethany - Like Sarah said, I think you are in Central time, meaning it would be 3 PM. BTW: To my knowledge most/all time zones, at least in the U.S., are whole hours apart. I can't think of an example of where two time zones would be half-an-hour apart... But there may be a case. :) Thanks.
@Alex:
I think we are in Cental time...but I'm not sure. So, I would start the quiz at 3 PM my time, to be the right time for you all? Is that right?
Oh, I didn't know that *blushes* I wasn't sure, because one time I came in late...and I thought I had calculated that I was 30 minutes late. I guess I was a little off. Thanks for telling me, so that I can know next time :)
Ok, so, yes, you would start the quiz at 3PM EDT. With me, I posted about 5 minutes before hand saying that we would start in 5 minutes, but then I waited about another 5 minutes to make sure everyone who wanted to participate was there. Just a suggestion. :)
@Sarah: Ok, thanks for the suggestion!
@Alex: Please let me know what date I get...so I can chose verses. Also, do I chose from the week that we're on, or just any week?
@Ashley The Sword Study is pretty cool, but some things I can't answer. Like: Where do you feel different because you believe in God? My Answer: Nowhere. I guess for most people they would feel strange, like in school, but I just don't feel strange anywhere.
@Rachel--I kind of feel the same way. You're right when you say that some people might get teased for being a Christian at school or something, but I've never really encountered persecution any worse than a face from an unbeliever that says, "You're a Christian? So much for this friendship..."
Well, my Dad's a pastor so I'm always helping with tons of things and not usually at many places. But swim team would be my best answer for where I feel uncomfortable. I actually have a meet tonight at five.
Good luck, Rachel! Nah, just kidding. There's no such thing as luck--just providence. I'll pray that God will be with you! And see if any of them are willing to hear about your faith, if you are able to find a time to talk with them.
Rachel,
I have a swim meet at 5:00 tonight as well!
What is your team name? Mine is Barracuda.
Where do you live?
BibleBeeJunior11 (NASB),
Yes, and hunter is my brother as well. (that was to you and SBG).
And how old are you?
Alex, if Bethany can plan on doing the 22nd, that would probably work best. Our planning for that week has been a bit topsy-turvy, so I will most likely be able to participate in the quiz, but I'm not 100% sure of where I'll be as far as my internet connection, so I feel like I shouldn't commit to running the quiz. Thanks for understanding, and let me know which of the other weeks I could help : )
@Ashley Bible Bee Jr 11 (NASB)--were you asking me, BibleBeeJunior11, or both of us when you asked for ages? Anyway, I turned thirteen in May.
Sarah's Bible Bee account KJV
Yes, do you like it?
Sorry it took to long to answer I Didn't see you! sorry:(
Ashley, it is amazing! God is really showing me things through it! Tell your mom a special thank you from me. Did she write the whole thing, or just some? She really has a gift.
A real quick Q I have for you, Ashley: Since you're a contestant, did your mom have to keep the study a secret from you all school year? I thought that family could not participate. hmmmm....
