2. Did you know that sheep (including lamb) is the most mentioned animal in the Bible ? (Depending on the version...sheep are mentioned in the Bible, some say more than 500 times, making them the most frequently mentioned animal. This prominence stems from their importance in ancient life and their symbolic use to represent God's people. Specific search results vary on the exact count, with some stating 413 or 187 mentions, but all sources agree that the number is in the hundreds and they are the most common animal.)

4. Did you know in the Bible, a shade of blue called tekhelet was God's chosen color for the ancient Israelites ? (Tekhelet drapes adorned Solomon's Temple, and tekhelet robes were worn by Israel's high priests.)
