Correct response: What is Exodus?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, describes what is known as the Exodus (the return of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to their homeland in Israel), and has generally been ascribed to Moses.
Some notes about this clue: The show, unless it specifies otherwise, generally defaults to the King James Version of the Bible; the specific quote in this Final Jeopardy! comes from Exodus 40:38, “For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.”

Often the final jeopardy clues are not random given when the air date will be. Any synagogue going Jew knows that this week we start reading the book of Exodus (we read the opening paragraphs this morning). So, I’m guessing this clue airing today was not by chance.
I’m getting to this late, but if you happen to look back at these comments, Mark, I agree with you. The Jan 9 clue on fingerprints had the category title Law Enforcement. That just happened to be National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
Is it just me or did Katie look a little like Janel Moloney (The West Wing, Donna Moss)?
It’s you…
LOL!!
Did you ever see “The West Wing”?
This reminds me of the episode where Donna is concerned that the White House staff think she and Ainsley Hayes look alike.
We keep hearing how more women than men are graduating college these days. Wonder if this is finally trickling down to Jeopardy.
Anyone know which “Caitlin” Daniel was talking about during his interview?
