Animal Riddles From the Bible
rhyming riddles / animal acrostics
Among the creatures serving God’s purpose
Wrought was I to wipe out the shade.
On a hot day, a vine sprung up high
Received blessing for being made.
Meanwhile I ate my lunch. Who am I?
An animal to ride, what is my name?
Noticed I an angel, standing still,
Avoided it three sep'rate times.
Seen not by my master until
Shrewdly I spoke of his crimes.
Lo, we’re strong beasts, we kept our mouths shut,
Ignored a tasty treat all night long.
Order from our King calls, “About-face!”
Now the jealous take their turn with the strong.
Starved, our mouths open, should we say grace?
Becoming skilled with these questions?
Experts, name the animals which
Attacked forty-two rude boys who
Repressed not their covetous itch?
Scorning a prophet, as kids will do.
Surely the most mentioned beast in God’s Word.
His own Son is called by our name
Except He wears our caretaker’s shoes.
Errors of mankind -- we bore the shame
Pardoned by our blood were all loyal Jews.
answer key: check the first letters of each lines in a stanza.
