As a 'way in' to our service, we had a little quiz, undertaken in groups where we sat, on the life of Joseph. It proved very interesting (and I think it went down OK). No Bibles or smart phones were allowed, but as I'm not going to post the answers, you, gentle reader, are free to look in a Bilbe or online!. (Apologies for formatting having fun and games with this platform!)
Joseph ben Israel – A Quiz

Benjamin
Dan
Dinah (sister)
Gad
Issachar
Joseph
Judah
Levi
Naphtali
Reuben
Simeon
Zebulun
