Verse 12

[edit]

The page says "Verse 12 is part of Havdalah. Yemenite Jews include it as part of Yehi Kivod." but everywhere I looked the psalm ends with Verse 11 (eg KJV "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.") - is it a typo or is there an additional verse in Judaic tradition? --Thrissel (talk) 20:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Note that the KJV skips the first verse in the Hebrew. So under the Judaism section, we're citing the verse number in the Hebrew. Yoninah (talk) 21:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shakespeare

[edit]

I have been told, but don't currently have the means to check, that in at least one older English translation of the Bible, the 46th word is shake, and the 46th from the end is spear (in whatever spelling was used). That would make this a merely a strange coincidence. Before I heard this, I had been guessing that Shakespeare interpolated himself in 1610, when not only did he turn 46, but 1610 = 35×46. I don't know how much a mathematician he was. Koro Neil (talk) 11:04, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
