1. What event began with the East Wind and ended with the West Wind.
2. Two mitzvos in this parsha are described as "אות." What are they. What other two mitzvos in the Torah are described as אות
3. What mitzva requires that you wear shoes while doing the mitzva.
4. There are certain words that appear only once in all of Tanach. Yes, I know what they're called by scholars. There is one exceedingly rare word that appears hundreds of times in Tanach, and its meaning is well know, but is used to mean something entirely different only once in all of Tanach. What is that word.
5. We all know that we do the Seder because of Mitzrayim. But we do Matza because of Sukkos. Why is that true?
UPDATE:
I found these in an old email from Harry Friedman. They're from Aish.
Who besides Moshe is a son-in-law of Yisro?
In Parshas Va'era, the Torah states that Elazar the son of Aharon married a daughter of Putiel (6:25). Rashi lists Putiel as one of the seven names of Yisro (Rashi - Exodus 18:1).
Name two people in the Torah - one male, one female, one Jewish, one not - who have similar names that mean the same. One of the people is in this parsha
Tziporah the wife of Moshe, and Tzipor the father of Balak (Numbers 22:2), have similar names that mean a bird.
1. Arbeh. Another way of asking the question is, Name an event that began with the East Wind, proceeded to the West Wind, and ended with a great mass drowning in the Yam Suf.
2. Dam on the machkof, Tefillin. Shabbos and Milah.
3. Eating the Pesach in Mitzrayim.
4. נא. When I asked the question, I repeated that "the word is very, very, rare" or "exceedingly rare" about five times, and it did not help.
5. 12:37-9
