I scored only an 8/10, but that was because I allowed myself to be distracted by an unnamed person who was physically near me Reply

Dear Rabbi,

Great quiz; I scored 9/10. Question 7 was
tricky and may had two answers; especially knowing or remembering the full story of Zapporah. So, I selected the first answer which was incorrect and correct, right? Reply

I think that Shemot in this context means Names Reply

in response to Yulanda :

I found that confusing too. I assumed that Shemot was a plural of Shema, which should mean "Hear." Are they actually different words? Reply
