What's in a Name?
Names in the Bible often have significance, telling us something about the person's attributes or circumstances. Mary named her baby Jesus, which means "the Lord saves" (Mt. 1:21). Several people in the Bible were given new names, usually after they or their situations changed. Test your knowledge of these famous biblical name changes:

- the land of Israel
- many offspring
- a son
- the land of Israel
