A puzzle was submitted to our youth department. They gave us no answer. This puzzle was written by a lady in California in 1890. Can you figure it out for us?
- What is one word and five letters that only appeared in the King James Version four times.
- Adam, God made out of dust but thought it best to make me first, so I was made before man to answer God's most holy plan.
- A living being I became and Adam gave to me my name. I from his presence then withdrew and more of Adam never knew.
- I did my Maker's law obey nor ever went from it astray. Thousands of miles I go in fear but seldom on earth appear.
- Hint: For purpose wise which God did see, He put a living soul in me. A soul from me God did claim. And took from me the soul again.
- Hint: And when from me the soul had fled, I was the same as when first made. And without hands, or feet, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole.
- I labor hard by day, by night. To fallen men I give great light. Thousands of people, young and old will by my death great light behold.
- No right or wrong can I conceive. The scripture I cannot believe, although my name therein if found. They are to me an empty sound.
- No fear of death doth trouble me, real happiness I will never see. To heaven I shall never go or to hell below.
- Now when these lines you slowly read, go search your Bible with all speed; for that my name is written there, I do honestly to you declare.
- The answer is one word and appears only 4 times in the King James Version of the Bible.
I hate to give the children this riddle and not know the answer.
God Bless
