Well you really do learn something new every day. I always assumed the neck was stretched over time. Good question

The answer I'm looking for is not what scholars might surmise, but what the Bible says. According to Matthew, wise men came from the East and brought presents. How many were there (wise men, not presents) according to the author of that book?

Correct. One of the three questions has been answered.

If I had asked the question without using the word Mitzvah, I'd be tempted to give this one to you, but no. That answer might suffice for the majority of Christians, but Jews have a different take on what constitutes a "commandment." CLUE: According to Rabinnic Judaism, the Hebrew Bible (which is fairly identical with the protestant Old Testament) contains 613 commandments, and "Thou shall have no other Gods before me!" is far from being the first.

Now, I did not know that. It would have made a good trivia question in its own right. It would have stumped me!

OK... Then based on what my Grandmother used to say, it must have been either;

"Put on a sweater. I'm cold!" or "Don do that, dalink. It could put your eye out!" Perhaps "Have just a little more. What could it hurt?"

Googling is cheating, but it's okay to look up the answers in a Bible. Only 2 unanswered questions.

And no, it isn't running with scissors.

Bible for one, perhaps. Wouldn't the answer to the mitzvah question need to be looked up in the the Torah?

Stitchawl
The Torah (known to Christians as the Pentateuch) consists of the first five books of the Bible, and yes, the answer to "What is the first commandment?" is found in one of those books. Care to guess which one?

As for the number of wise men who followed the star to the Christ child (according to the Bible), I've already indicated the answer can be found in Matthew. Hint: Probably every Christmas Play you've ever seen has it wrong.

Only one of the three questions has been answered so far. Let's make short work of another one.

Quick! Somebody! Anybody! Tell me what you know:

According to Matthew, how many wise men followed the star to see Jesus?

Don't look up the answer, just tell me what you know.

Correct! Everyone assumes since three types of presents were given ("gold, frankincense, and myrrh") that there were three wise men, but the author of Matthew never specifies the number.
