Test Oldtament

[dreamer_easy]

One of these JW mags quotes a guy who says that "knowledge of the Old Testament is fading fast among Christians and has virtually vanished in popular culture". So! Test yourself, Christians and others on my flist - without peeking at other comments, see if you can comment with five events from the OT. (If you actually do Bible study, you're disqualified! :-)

I'm sure that at least the Joseph one is canonical (except for the musical part). Was pretty sure Jonah was in the approved version, too. They certainly made us draw the whale a lot at Hebrew school.

Yeah, I was being strictly canonical there in my list. Otherwise it'd be 'Judith cuts off Holofernes' head' and stuff. :D

Ah, sorry, I thought you were aiming for apocryphal - which shows how much I know for doubting the other incidents ;-)
