Talk:Bethel (god)

Major re-write complete

Greetings Wikipedians! After searching through Teixidor's book, The New Oxford Annotated Bible (college edition) and the Etz Hayim Torah and commentary, I managed to cobble together what I hope is an adequate number of citations to reliable sources. I believe we now have enough citations to merit removing the "original research" template. This I have done. I am far from being an expert on this subject, but it was a great learning experience. I welcome comments from all. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 19:32, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's one big issue with this page IMO which is that it confuses "Bethel is always a god" with "Bethel is a god at least once". No one (cited, at least) denies that Bethel is at least almost always a place. So content about uncontroversial verses in Genesis or Samuel doesn't really belong.

@GordonGlottal Thanks. I don't disagree. Suggest we wait a bit and see if anyone has further comments before diving back into this obscure topic. BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 10:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
