ANSWERS to "Bible Trivia for 600, Alex" posted on July 25:
Jeopardy (Basic): Who is Benjamin? (Joseph and Benjamin are the two sons of Rachel. Jacob, their father, openly favored them over the sons of his other wife, Leah, and the sons of his wives' handmaids, Zilpah and Bilhah.)

Double Jeopardy (Advanced):  Who is Potiphar? (Not to be confused with Polycarp, second century bishop of Smyrna. In the Genesis story of Joseph, Potiphar recognizes Joseph's abilities and comes to rely on Joseph to manage his large business. Potiphar's wife tries to seduce Joseph and then accuses Joseph of rape. That's how Joseph winds up in prison.)
