Lesson 3 | Ask Questions

Be Curious

Let’s introduce the topic of asking questions with a comical sketch. Take the risk and be inquisitive!
in⦁quis⦁i⦁tiv⦁i⦁tis   noun
A relentless curiosity that leads to asking many questions. Contrary to urban legend, does not cause physical paralysis.
I am quite sure that in the previous lesson, while you were making observations in Genesis 15 and Isaiah 55, at least a few questions came to mind.
  • Why did God ask Abram to cut the animals in half (Gen 15:9–11)?
  • What is the significance of the smoking fire pot and the flaming torch (Gen 15:17)?
  • What is the “nation that you do not know” in Isa 55:5?
  • Is there a special significance to the cypress and myrtle (Isa 55:13)?
The aim of this lesson is to help you capture and sharpen such questions. The Questions lens in the Markup tool is designed to facilitate such inquiry.
