Grade 2 | SCRIPTURE STUDY

WEEK 2 • TEACHER GUIDE AND ANSWER KEY • DAYS 6–10

Read each full passage beforehand. Read the passage aloud with the child, model the worked example, then let the child practice. Keep this key out of sight during practice. On Day 10, read aloud if needed but give no hints.

The KJV writes LORD for Yahuah, God for Elohim, Jesus for Yahusha, and Holy Ghost for Ruach HaQodesh. Scripture quotations are printed exactly as they appear in the King James Version.

Day 6: The Serpent’s Question

Read aloud: Genesis 3:1-5 (KJV)

Practice verses: Genesis 3:1

Worked example: Genesis 3:2. What did the woman say they may eat? Worked answer: Of the fruit of the trees of the garden.

Any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Yahuah said they could freely eat of every tree except one. The serpent’s question made it sound as if they could not eat of every tree. He changed Yahuah’s words. Accept any answer that shows the serpent changed or twisted the command.

Teaching note: Model comparing two texts side by side: Genesis 2:16-17 and Genesis 3:1. Keep to what the verses say.

Day 7: Hiding Among the Trees

Read aloud: Genesis 3:6-8 (KJV)

Practice verses: Genesis 3:7; Genesis 3:8

Worked example: Genesis 3:3. Which tree did the woman say they must not eat of or touch? Worked answer: The tree which is in the midst of the garden.

Fig leaves.
Amongst the trees of the garden.
They had eaten of the tree Yahuah commanded them not to eat of, and then they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God. Accept any answer that connects their hiding to what they had done, such as shame or fear (Adam says in Genesis 3:10 that he was afraid).

Teaching note: Children often understand hiding after doing wrong. Let the child share a simple example, then return to the text.

Day 8: Where Art Thou?

Read aloud: Genesis 3:9-13 (KJV)

Practice verses: Genesis 3:12; Genesis 3:13

Worked example: Genesis 3:9. What question did the LORD God ask Adam? Worked answer: Where art thou?

The woman whom thou gavest to be with me.
The serpent.
Each admitted eating, but each also pointed to someone else: the man to the woman, and the woman to the serpent. Taking responsibility means owning what we did without shifting it onto others. Accept any answer that notes both the admission and the pointing to another.

Teaching note: Beguiled means tricked. Point out that both verses end with I did eat. Keep the lesson on taking responsibility, using the verses.

Day 9: Thorns and Thistles

Read aloud: Genesis 3:17-19 (KJV)

Practice verses: Genesis 3:19

Worked example: Genesis 3:18. What would the ground bring forth? Worked answer: Thorns and thistles.

In the sweat of thy face.
He was dust, and he would return unto dust.
Genesis 2:7 says Yahuah formed man of the dust of the ground. Genesis 3:19 says Adam was taken out of the ground, that he was dust, and that he would return to dust. Both verses say man came from the dust. Accept any answer that connects the dust in both verses.

Teaching note: Return unto dust refers to death. Answer questions simply and calmly, keeping to what the verse says.

Day 10: Independent Check: Coats of Skins

Read aloud: Genesis 3:20-24 (KJV)

Practice verses: Genesis 3:21; Genesis 3:23

Worked example: Genesis 3:20. What name did Adam give his wife? Worked answer: Eve.

Coats of skins.
From the garden of Eden.
Yahuah made coats of skins and clothed them. Even after they disobeyed, Yahuah cared for them and provided what they needed. Accept any answer that names the coats of skins and Yahuah’s care or provision.

Teaching note: Independent check: read the verses aloud if needed, but do not give the answers.
