Let’s solve this Scripture Crossword step by step. We’ll go clue by clue, using Bible knowledge to fill in the answers.

DOWN Clues:

1. Grace shown to sinners → Mercy (5 letters)
2. Righteous man who saved his family from flood → Noah (4 letters)
4. Son of Rachel and Jacob → Joseph (6 letters)
7. Being calm and trusting the Lord → Peace (5 letters)

ACROSS Clues:

1. Brother of Ephraim in the Old Testament → Manasseh (8 letters)
3. Assisted Moses in the Exodus → Aaron (5 letters)
4. A time for forgiveness and freedom in the Old Testament → Jubilee (7 letters)
5. Joseph’s master → Potiphar (8 letters)
6. What the Promised Land bordered → Sea (3 letters) — likely Mediterranean Sea, but “Sea” fits crossword space
8. Old Testament figure with 700 wives → Solomon (7 letters)
10. Old Testament woman who gave birth to twins → Rebekah (7 letters)
11. A positive outcome caused by God’s favor → Blessing (8 letters)

18. Bible word for extreme anger → Wrath (5 letters)

Now let’s check if these fit into the grid based on letter counts and intersections.

For example:

- Down 1: Mercy (5 letters) → starts at top left? Let’s assume it fits vertically.
- Across 1: Manasseh (8 letters) → must cross with Down 1 at first letter ‘M’ → matches.
- Down 2: Noah (4 letters) → crosses Across 3 (Aaron) at second letter? Aaron is 5 letters, so position matters.

Actually, since we don’t have the exact grid layout numbered, we rely on standard crossword logic and common Bible terms.

But wait — let’s double-check some clues that might be tricky:

Clue ACROSS 6: “What the Promised Land bordered” — could also be “River” (Jordan River), but “Sea” is more general and shorter. In many puzzles, “Sea” is accepted.

Clue DOWN 17: “Negative effect caused by God” — “Curse” is correct (e.g., curse on Cain, or curses in Deuteronomy).

Clue ACROSS 18: “Bible word for extreme anger” — “Wrath” is perfect (e.g., wrath of God).

Clue DOWN 14: “Patriarch of Israel” — Abraham is the father of Isaac, grandfather of Jacob — yes, he’s considered the patriarch.

Clue ACROSS 10: “Old Testament woman who gave birth to twins” — Rebekah had Esau and Jacob — correct.

Clue ACROSS 12: “Elijah’s successor” — Elisha — correct.

Clue ACROSS 15: “Slew a giant with a stone” — David vs Goliath — correct.

Clue ACROSS 16: “His name means ‘Yahweh remembers’” — Samuel — yes, from Hannah’s prayer.

All seem solid.

Now, let’s write out the final answers in order as they would appear in the puzzle — but since the user didn’t ask for the filled grid, just the solution, we can list them by clue number.

However, the instruction says: “Solve the problem accurately.” Since it’s a crossword, solving it means providing the correct words for each clue.
