Hallelujah! Thank you to my creative friends for all these great Biblical math problems. They’ll really help the Oklahoma school superintendent’s goal of inserting biblical content into math and science! I’ve collected a multitude of the problems into one post for ease of reading:
1) Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3).
If he lay with one wife or concubine every night, but took off one day per week for rest, how many days would it take him to lay with all of his wives and concubines?
2) David captured the foreskins of 200 Philistines (1 Samuel 18:27).
If David split those foreskins into baskets of 40 foreskins each, how many baskets would he need? (continued)
