Delete[edit]

This was a Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:2 in 2005 as a VfD

Please reconsider deleting this article. Thanks, — Jasonasosa 03:36, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't consider deleting this as reasonable, the goal of Wikiproject Bible is emphasised in this article to delete it would be a disaster in our goal. This makes it easier to understand the Bible and it doesn't need that. As some need it to better understand the Bible Logawinner (talk) 19:02, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Logawinner, you're responding to a comment from nearly seven years ago in connection with a deletion discussion that was held at that time, which concluded with the article being kept. Also, it was useless for Jasonasosa to post his request here as such commentary, in the case of an article that has been submitted for a deletion discussion, is considered only if posted to that discussion Largoplazo (talk) 21:29, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

bohu or vohu?[edit]

Shouldn't it be "tohu va-vohu", since there is no dagesh on the letter bet/vet? --91.115.11.41 (talk) 16:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Raise to B quality[edit]

Should we raise it to B quality I don't think it's a C Logawinner (talk) 19:01, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Logawinner: For assessment, we follow this quality grading scheme to determine it is B or C. Peace. JohnThorne (talk) 22:30, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Transliteration[edit]

Could someone please possibly look at the method used for transliteration at the top of this article please? I understand the need for tonal changes, etc, but the transliteration for someone who has never read Hebrew before, is near impossible to understand. I saw the example on the top of Genesis 1:1, and it was simple, easy to read...a whole world away from this one. It would be helpful to find a way to standardise transliteration across these articles, if you don't have an agreed standard already. Shalom to you all, Dane|Geld 10:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
