Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Monday, February 13, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: It begins with God saying, “Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Netanel Paley, a senior at Yeshiva University from Teaneck, New Jersey
Esteban Fernandez, a freshman at San Francisco State University from Coronado, California
Lilly Chin, a senior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from Decatur, Georgia

Interestingly, the beginning of the Book of Exodus, “Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt” was an $800 clue on Wednesday, February 8, in AND SO IT BEGINS.
Moving onto today’s Final, Numbers concludes the story of Israel’s exodus from Egypt and their journey to take possession of The Promised Land. It takes its name from the two censuses taken of the Israelites.
Now also seems like a good time to remind people that on Jeopardy!, contestants and game material are selected randomly and independently, and yes, sometimes, a Yeshiva student gets a Bible category in Final Jeopardy, just like sometimes an English professor gets a literature category.
