2. I am quite short. One day, Jesus passed by nearby, but the crowd did not allow me to see. I had an excellent idea: I climbed a sycamore tree! I was able to see Jesus, he saw me, spoke to me and even came to my house. What joy! Who I am?
3. God chose me as a spokesman for my brother who was the leader of the Hebrew people in their pilgrimage through the desert. He also appointed me high priest. I made some big mistakes, like when I fashioned a golden calf for the people to worship. Who I am?
4. I am a dreamer! My own brothers sold me into slavery, but God helped me and I got over it. I even became governor of Egypt! I forgave my brothers and helped my family. Who I am?
5. I was the first king of Israel. Because of my pride, God turned away from me and an evil spirit began to torment me. The Philistines surrounded me and my end was very sad. Who I am?
6. I was born into a noble family, but during my adolescence I was deported to Babylon along with other young people. My friends and I decided not to contaminate ourselves with the customs and foods of our new imposed culture. We stayed true to God and that’s why we were thrown into the lion’s den. Calm down, God protected us! Who I am?
7. Although during my time it was not common to see women leaders, I became a judge and prophetess in Israel. Quite an achievement! My office was very humble, under a palm tree, but it had a beautiful view. Who I am?
8. I am very stubborn and did not want to obey God. I tried to run away and hide, but to no avail. In the end I ended up inside the belly of a big fish. Who I am?
9. One day I went to a meeting where the apostle Paul talked and talked and talked until midnight. I went to sleep! But not only did I fall asleep but I fell from the third floor window where I was sitting. The blow was very strong and I fell dead. But Pablo came, hugged me, I came back to life, and he continued preaching until dawn. Who I am?
10. I was barren. I asked God for a son and he heard my prayer. My son’s name is Samuel. Who I am?
