"The Greek text of Judith"?

[edit]

"The city is called 'Chellous' (Χελλοὺς) in the Greek text of Judith." Very vague, and the wikilink is probably wrong. I guess Greek = Septuagint, and Judith = the Book of Judith. I have modified the wikilinks accordingly, I just hope there's no other meaning to it. Please, do not just copy & paste from academic sources, or consider everyone to be scholars in the field. Thanks. Arminden (talk) 18:29, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bible (Genesis) and science mishmash

[edit]

"In the vicinity, according to the Targums, was the desert of Sur with the well at which the angel found Hagar (Genesis 16:7) (see Revue Biblique, 1906, 597)."

Elusa isn't a biblical site, so how is it identified as being near the desert of Sur/Shur? Genesis, modern geography and archaeology don't mix well. At least explain the deduction, or offer a link to the 1906 (!) source. Arminden (talk) 19:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
