Whoa! Whoa! @stillness,
This is Bible Trivia, NOT Bible Discussion Forum......
We simply ask questions that are plainly and easily answered in the Bible scriptures, NOTHING that requires "interpretation" of the scriptures.
Our questions are just to cause each other to go back to our Bibles and search the scriptures..........we might actually read our Bibles more and find them and each other enjoyable.
After someone answers a question they are free to give any insight or their personal thoughts about the scripture BUT, the answers HAVE TO BE FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
Here's an example of an ACCEPTABLE Question:
Q: How many disciples did Yeshua/Jesus have?
A: 12
Here's an example of a NOT ACCEPTABLE Question:
Q: Why did Yeshua/Jesus choose 12 disciples and not 22?
The answer to this question is NOT in the Bible, although it is very interesting.
So, if you have insight about why 12 and not 22, then ask the ACCEPTABLE question first and then feel free to give your insight about why 12 and not 22 disciples.
Please keep playing Bible Trivia with us, just be sure to ask ACCEPTABLE questions. All are welcome and encouraged to play!!!

12 appostles, 12 diferant personalities, 12 tribes, 12,000×12 in the Government of God, 12 planets according to Joseph who saw 11 and the sun and moon bow down to Him. One may be the asteroid belt. Just as the tribe of Benjamen had rebelled, and an apostle betrayed the Lord. Replaced by Paul from the tribe of benjamen.

Hello Magenta,
Interesting question......
So, is the answer that the 30 pieces of silver that Judas received for betraying Yeshua/Jesus Christ were significant that it fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet had spoken and that the silver coins were cast to the potter in the house of the Lord which describes what Judas also would do with the 30 pieces of silver..... cast the coins at the feet of the Pharisees in the house of the Lord and they would buy the potter's field?
Matthew 27:4-7 King James Version (KJV)
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
Matthew 27:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
Zechariah 11:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.

Okay some 6 Months ago or so l was doing a study in the garden of Eden. I don't recall what started the study but this i found, and thought it was amazing!
Genesis 3:22, ...and God said, behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:....
Sometime later i end up in John ch 6, where Jesus is speaking of Himself as the living 🍞 bread; ie His flesh:...in vs 51 ....he shall eat and live for ever...
So i leave this for you to judge; there seems to be no mistake without saying the actual phrase the'tree of life', that He's using the living bread (His flesh), is fruit of that 🌲 tree that one may eat and live for ever!?
So is Christ Jesus the tree of Life in the garden of Eden, that one may eat of His fruit (His flesh and blood) ...and live for ever...
Is it enough for God to say in the scriptures, to eat of the tree of Life and live for ever; and Jesus to say in the scriptures, eat of my flesh and blood and live for ever??

I was going to mention in the lead up, that Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver...
Because it is the actual amount I am asking the significance of
In responce to references of Jesus being the Tree of Life, verses that point to Him: "Wisdom is a Tree of Life." "Christ is made to us wisdom from God."
"Hope difered maked the heart sick but the desire fulfilled is a Tree of Life." Why desire fulfilled is refered as the Tree of Life, another verse explains, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will fulfil the desire of your heart."
As for the tree of knowllege of good and evil, "We aĺl have knowlege, knowlege puffs up but Love builds up." We have knowlege in the mind of the flesh. In the top center of the brain there is a small brain called the reptilian brain. Research has evidence that people who are in drug adiction are traped in this reptillian brain: where people become full of themselves and dont have a life.

Abigail's, in 1 Samuel 25
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground. 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent. 26 And now, my lord, as surely as the Lord your God lives and as you live, since the Lord has kept you from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal. 27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
28 “Please forgive your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember your servant.”

The thirty pieces of silver is the fulfilling of Zechariah's prophecy on the price of a man:
Zec. 11:12,13 "And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD."
Which had the same fate as Christ's 30 pieces.
Zec. 11:12,13 "And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD."

'A' is probably the closest answer:
Exodus 4:10-13 NAS
"10 Then Moses said to the LORD, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” 11The LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12“Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.” 13But he said, “Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will.”
Exodus 4:10-13 NAS

Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind?

Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver because that was the cost of a live slave. 30 pieces of silver was the penalty cost for killing a slave. Jesus was basically sold as a dead man. That is the answer I was looking for
What was the name of Saul's Father?
