#### Step 1: Match the Son/Daughter-in-Law with the Correct Mother
We need to identify the correct mother for each son or daughter-in-law listed on the left side. Here are the matches:

1. Solomon → Bathsheba
- Solomon was the son of King David and Bathsheba.

2. Isaac → Rebekkah
- Isaac was the son of Abraham and Rebekkah.

3. John → Elizabeth
- John the Baptist was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth.

4. Moses → Jochebed
- Moses was the son of Amram and Jochebed.

5. Timothy → Eunice
- Timothy's mother was Eunice, and his grandmother was Lois.

6. Ruth → Naomi
- Ruth was the daughter-in-law of Naomi.

7. Jacob → Rebekkah

9. Cain → Eve
- Cain was the son of Adam and Eve.

10. Jesus → Mary
- Jesus was the son of Mary.

11. Boaz → Rahab
- Boaz married Rahab, making her his mother-in-law in a genealogical sense.

#### Step 2: Match the Clues with the Correct Mother
Now, we match each clue with the appropriate mother based on biblical stories:

1. "An angel told me I would have a baby Who would be the Son of God." (Luke 1:34-35) → Mary
- This refers to the Annunciation, where Gabriel told Mary she would conceive Jesus.

2. "I put my baby in a basket." (Exodus 6:20, Exodus 2:1-3) → Jochebed
- Jochebed placed Moses in a basket on the Nile River to save him from Pharaoh's decree.

3. "I laughed when God promised me a child in my old age." (Genesis 18:9-14, Genesis 21:1-3) → Sarah
- Sarah laughed when God promised her a son (Isaac) in her old age.

4. "I used goat skins and a tasty meal to help my son trick his father." (Gen. 27:15-17) → Rebekkah
- Rebekkah helped Jacob deceive Isaac into giving him the blessing intended for Esau.

5. "Both my sons died, but my daughter-in-law stayed with me and blessed me." (Ruth 1:16-20) → Naomi
- Naomi lost her sons, but Ruth stayed with her and became an ancestor of King David.

6. "My mother, Lois, and I faithfully taught my young son God’s truth." (2 Timothy 1:5) → Eunice
- Eunice and her mother, Lois, raised Timothy in the faith.

7. "My son became a wise and wealthy king of Israel." (1 Kings 1:28-30) → Bathsheba
- Bathsheba's son, Solomon, became a wise and wealthy king.

8. "I promised to give my son back to the Lord which is why he grew up in the house of the Lord." (1 Sam. 1:20) → Hannah
- Hannah promised to dedicate Samuel to the Lord if he were born.

9. "My baby leaped in my womb when Jesus came near." (Luke 1:13, 41-45) → Elizabeth
- When Mary visited Elizabeth, John the Baptist (in Elizabeth's womb) leaped for joy.

10. "After protecting some Israelite spies, I became the great, great grandmother of King David." (Joshua 6:25; Matthew 1:5-6) → Rahab
- Rahab protected Israelite spies and later became an ancestor of King David through Boaz.

11. "I was called the mother of all living." (Genesis 3:20, 4:1) → Eve
- Eve is called the "mother of all living" because she is the first woman and the mother of humanity.
