The first number in citations is always the chapter number, and the second number is always the sentence/verse number. For example, Joshua 23:6 means the book of Joshua, chapter 23, and the 6th sentence/verse. Occasionally there will be an "a" or "b" attached to the sentence/verse number. That simply means it is the first half or last half of the sentence/verse.
The questions in these lessons are not to try to trick you up. They are designed to just help you read the Bible with a little better understanding of the theme. Therefore, we do not grade them.
