Many years ago an elder in my church asked me where something was in the Bible. I told him Hezekiah 4:3. He thanked me and scurried off to look it up.

He came back laughing and kind of sheepish. He actually was quite the Bible scholar.

The Hezekiah gag works because it sounds just so darned natural as an OT book. I never fell for it because I learned in school what Abraham Lincoln once said: “Never believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it comes to the Bible.”

In my resources, I do include a few selected verse passages that have been translated by ELSIE.

I’ve been tricked in a similar way too, usually chapter or verse is too high.
