Oops, I forgot to say they are all related to each other. Though, mordechai and haman are correct

They teach kids all sorts of random medrashim these days.
My son came home saying that Sichon was born in the Teiva. I never heard that and I would love to know a source for it. His rebbe said that one of the daughter in laws of Noach was carrying Sichon from before marrying into Noachs family. Anyone ever heard this?

I learned the thing about Noach being the first with fingers many years ago from one of those card games, forget what it's called, where they have people of Tanach and they list facts about them. So it seems like before Noach people were born with webbed hands. And somehow the name Noach is connected to the fact that he has fingers, though I don't remember what the connection is. Can anyone help me out here?

Distance runner is Naftali.
Didn't he run back to Eretz Yisroel when Yaakov Avinu was niftar to retrieve the contract where he bought the bechora from Eisav.

But not connected to Purim.

The answers I have are ppl related to each other. Though mordechai and haman were correct (not the answers I thought if)

Naftali is correct
Someone else is a linguist
Another had 10 sons
One I named a weights lifter

Distance runner- the achashdarpenei hamelech? But I think they went on horses.

Oh, I see. They are correct, but not THE correct answer.

Another linguist is Yosef. (He knew all the languages when Pharoah tested him.)
Binyamin had ten sons.
Naftali is a distance runner.
I guess the weights lifter is another one of the shevatim, just not sure who.

Wait. Yaakov was able to lift the stone off the well with one finger. Is that it?

Eta. I just remembered. One of the shevatim lifted a big rock and said he would destroy Mitzrayim when the mishne lemelech (Yosef) refused to return Binyomin. Was that Yehuda?

Well, was Shimon a weight lifter?
Shimon and Levy were certainly strong; they managed to kill out the whole city of Shechem, as retribution for raping their sister. (Where are OUR Shimon and Levy who can go into Gaza and wipe out Hamas??)

But at the time of the incident with Yehuda threatening Yosef, Shimon was emprisoned.

I remember learning that he threatened to destroy the city while imprisoned, I took it seriously

Hmm. Maybe your right, and it was Shimon, not Yehuda? I have to check tomorrow.
