“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” — John 5:39
A note of commentary stands before you — Jamieson, Fausset & Brown (1871, public domain) on a verse of Proverbs or of the Psalms — and a bank of verses stands beneath it. One of them is the verse the note explains. Match the commentary with its verse. “To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.” — Proverbs 1:6 (KJV)
The fullest, plainest notes in the book — long explanations that quote the very verse they explain — and a bank of four verses drawn from across the whole book. Light and easy, for the youngest soldiers: learn to hear which verse a wise note belongs to.
30 notes in the pool
Play this level ›A bank of five verses from the same book, and the notes a little shorter. An honest step up: you must read the note itself, not just recognise a famous verse.
29 notes in the pool
Play this level ›Six verses in the bank, drawn from the chapters round about the note’s own, and the notes grow terser. A minister must know the Book well enough to set a comment where it belongs.
29 notes in the pool
Play this level ›Eight verses from the chapters nearest the note’s own, and the decoys chosen because their words run close to the note’s words. Rather difficult: only the sense of the note itself will place it.
29 notes in the pool
Play this level ›The cliff. Eight verses — from the very same chapter wherever the pool allows — and the shortest, subtlest notes in the book, set against verses that share their very words. Another scale entirely.
