Geocache Description:

For this puzzle you must answer questions using the Bible to obtain  numbers that make up the final coordinates.

 

 

This Cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle to find the actual location.

May not be available in Winter after snow has been plowed to the side of the road.


I used the King James Version as my source.

Use the face value of the numbers. Do not attempt to convert to standard modern measurements.  i.e. 15 cubits would be 15.

I have tried very hard to avoid doctrinal issues.  The questions are merely asking for numerical information taken from verses in the Bible.

So here we go.

 

A.   What number does the Bible use to denote completion or fulfillment.  It is the traditional Hebrew number for the duration of a trial of any kind, when times are hard and a perons faith is tested?        See Joshua 5:6 and/or Exodus 34:28 and/or Matthew 4:2

B.   David reigned over Israel 40 years.  How many of those years did David reign in Jerusalem?   See 1 Kings 2:11

C.  How many Tribes of Israel are there?    See Genesis 49:28

D.   What is the sum of all the numbers (excluding the number one) that are mentioned in John 6:7-9?

E.   How many Apostles/Disciples did Jesus have?   See Matthew 10:1-5

F.   What is the length of Noah's ark?   See Genesis 6:15

G.   Matthew 1:17  tells of the genealogy of Jesus. In total, how many generations were there from Abraham to Jesus?

H   How many fishes did the disciples catch in the morning when the resurrected Jesus appeared and told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat?  John 21:vs 6 and 11.

I.   How long did it take to build Solomon's house?   See 1 Kings 7:1

J.  How many books are in the Old Testament?

K.  How many books are in the New Testament?

L.   How many were all the days of Enoch?   See Genesis 5:23

OK here's the final coordinates:

N (A)°  (sum E+C+K) . (D)

W 100 plus(H minus G)°  (sum I+J) . (Sum B+F+L)
