"Perhaps the most fascinating discovery is a small gold bell with a silver clapper from the fringes of the high priest’s ephod (Exod 28:33–35; fig. 13) ... Note the small bells hanging from the fringes of the ephod. The small golden bell (above) was found in the area of the sacred precinct."

  • This looks really interesting! I will review this nomination in the coming week. WatkynBassett (talk) 13:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
  • The article was created on 27 September 2024 and nominated on 30 September 2024. It is thus new enough.
  • The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
  • QPQ done. Will continue this review later. WatkynBassett (talk) 13:53, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Spot-check of references: The references are of (very) high quality. I checked four citations, three checked out, one had an (imo) wrongly identified page number (34 instead of 24, I fixed that, please double check).
  • Earwig picked up the names of the sources. This is, of course, entirely unconcering. My spot-check revealed no close paraphrasing.
  • Hook review: I like the hook, but I would strike the half-sentence ", an ancient Samaritan sanctuary,", which is not needed. The wlinking of Samaritan High Priest struck me as a bit surprising: Should not the High Priest of Israel be linked, as he is the subject of Exodus 28?
  • Overall: Mariamnei Thank you for this excellent piece of work, which I liked very much. The very best of free knowledge; you should nominate it for GA! I will approve the hook, if you agree with the suggested shortening and the issue with the linkage of "high priest" is cleared-up. Happy to discuss. WatkynBassett (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
@WatkynBassett: Oh wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm totally okay with leaving the sanctuary part out; I was debating whether to wikilink Samaritan High Priest if we went with the connection to the Samaritan sanctuary or to go with High Priest of Israel, like you suggested, and align it with the mention in Exodus. Honestly, I think both could work, so I'll go with your recommendation! Mariamnei (talk) 09:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
@Mariamnei: Perfect, then I approve the following hook as ALT1. Nice work!
ALT1: "... that a small golden bell found at the site of the Mount Gerizim Temple is believed to have been part of the ephod of a high priest, as described in Exodus 28?"
