Bible Quiz) Like father, like son in Old Testament

[Bible Quiz]
Like father like son
in the Old Testament

Everyone, do you know all about the saying like father, like son, right?

I also found this saying in the Old Testament of the Bible.

Shall we go into the Bible story <like father, like son> through Bible Quiz?


Bible Quiz) Who are the characters that correspond to "like father, like son" in the Old Testament?


Abraham and Isaac in the Old Testament


Both father(Abraham) and son(Isaac) lied their wives as their sisters because they feared they would die?

I can't believe it.

How good was the faith of Abraham and Isaac, how could that be?

Then, shall we check directly in the Bible whether that word is true or not?


  • Gen 20:1-11 (Abraham: father)
    Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while, he stayed in Gerar,
    and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.
    But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman."
    Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?
    Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister,' and didn't she also say, 'He is my brother'? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands."
    Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
    Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all yours will die."
    Early the next morning Abimelech summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid.
    Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said, "What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done."
    And Abimelech asked Abraham, "What was your reason for doing this?"
    Abraham replied, "I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.'

  • Gen 26:6-9 (Isaac: son)
    So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
    When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah because she is beautiful."
    When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
    So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac answered him, "Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her."


This father and son really resemble each other, right?

Why is that? 

Perhaps because human genes (DNA) are the same, right?

Also, his son Isaac's faith was the same as his father Abraham's.
Like father like son.

  • Heb 11:17-19
    By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."
    Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.

Next time, let's meet with a Bible quiz about God's gene (seed: word)~> like father, like son.

  1. It's beautiful understanding how valuable God's promise was in the eyes of Abraham and Isaac. All glory to God that this can be made known today.
