In preparation for Passover, five children at Hebrew school
(Bernice, Carl, Debby, Sammy, and Ted) have been chosen to
present different parts of the story of the Exodus from Egypt
(burning bush, captivity, Moses's youth, Passover, or the Ten
Commandments). Each child is a different age (three, five,
seven, eight, or ten), and the family of each child has
recently made its own exodus to America from a different
country (Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Morocco, or
Yemen). Can you find the age of each child, his or her
family's country of origin, and the part of the Exodus story
each related?
1. Debby's family is from Lithuania.
2. The child who told the story of the Passover is two years
older than Bernice.
3. The child whose family is from Yemen is younger than the
child from the Ethiopian family.
4. The child from the Moroccan family is three years older
than Ted.
5. Sammy is three years older than the child who told the
story of Moses's youth in the house of the Pharaoh.
6. Carl related the story of the captivity of the Israelites
in Egypt.
7. The five-year-old child told the story of the Ten
Commandments.
8. The child who told the story of the burning bush is either
two or three years older than the one whose family came
from Kazakhstan.
