Fun Thread: ABC's of Bible Names

[cherokeehippie]

I know..lol...I figured "R" was really easy one--I thought of 2 or 3 right off the bat for "R".

 

[Strong in Him]

Uzziah.

 

[cherokeehippie]

Oh wow..V is gonna be a hard one...There's no "V" in the beginning of words in Hebrew!

 

[cherokeehippie]

Vashti!

 

[cherokeehippie]

oops, W is gonna be hard, too! no such thing as W in Hebrew.

 

[cherokeehippie]

Paladin...I don't think we're gonna find a name beginning with 'W'...I suggest we move on to "X"...I'll give a hint with "X", another hard one...if you like!

 

[cherokeehippie]

Here's a hint on "X"!! It was a persian king...depending on the version of the bible his name is in...there are two names he's known by! One starts with X and the other....well, I won't say!

 

[cherokeehippie]

Okay...I'm skipping to "X"...
Xerxes!! He is also Ahasuerus! The Persian king, Esther's husband.
Are we happy now? Now...on to "Y"!

 

[ahmunmun]

For W, I would love to write my own name, but it isn't found in the Bible.

 

[cherokeehippie]

In modern Hebrew...they use two 'vavs' the v letter in Hebrew to be a W for modern names, etc....or you can look up the meaning of your name then find one in Hebrew that means the same thing!!

Well, after Cherokee has Posted 9 times (while consistently missing the point), I am a bit lost.

There are several "V" names in the Bible (contrary to what she said).

And, she ain't too Hot on "W"s either.

(the 3) Wise men.

And, for ahmunmun, I suggest that she write her name inside of her Bible, then she can use her name.

 

[cherokeehippie]

I thought we are giving personal names of people in the bible.

 

[cherokeehippie]

Okay, I'll prove to you!! NO "w's in names in the bible.

and...I was wrong about the V's...there's only 5 names beginning with V in the bible..
But I took Hebrew when I was in Israel...so I know what I'm talking about about Hebrew letters, etc.

 

[Strong in Him]

Xerxes!! He is also Ahasuerus! The Persian king, Esther's husband.

Hey - that's not fair!! You've been posting all my answers while I've been in bed!

We are. And just to be pedantic, wise men is our title for them; Matthew just says they were Magi.
I suppose you could cheat and have woman at the well.

Yeshua.

 

[cherokeehippie]

Forgive me for hogging the thread I tend to love getting into bible trivia stuff! Okay...I'll let everyone else get in...sorry..

The OP set-up the Rule: "This game uses only names (person or place) from the Bible."

Strong said (incorrectly, I think) that any names were supposed to be personal names.
She responded to Cherokee, who claimed that was the Rule here.

I call on the OP to clarify his Rule.
And, which Version are we able to use? King James? NIV?

And, anyway, we have full use of place names.

So, where are we NOW?

Y . . . I think.
To get things back-on-Track, I give yokefellow.

Strong also incorrectly identified the "Magi."

I don't know what Version of the Bible you are using, but the King James Version never uses the term "Magi."
Matthew 2:1 says: "behold, there came wise men from the east."
And, Verse 7 uses only wise men.
And Verse 16 uses wise men too.

Sorry - the NIV says Magi and I didn't check any other versions as I was just about to go to church. I'll steer clear of theology and just play the game.
