Spelling

[edit]

The Baháʼí faith section begins with 'Baháʼís consiered', please add the 'd' to 'considered'. I can't edit the article 136.169.55.159 (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inheritance to Abraham, or just descendents?

[edit]

I see in the lead it says "which God now promises to Abraham and his progeny." As far as I am aware, and I briefly rechecked the story, the land is only promised to Abraham's descendants. This makes sense as Abraham himself never inherited the Land of Canaan that was promised to his descendants in Gen 12:7.

Please advise if I am incorrect about this. If not, I will change.

Thanks! XZealous (talk) 06:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham's Appearance

[edit]

This sentence, "The Bible describes him as an "older" person, and beardless" is attributed to one source. However, I think this statement is unfounded. The author of the source says that the Bible describes Abraham as beardless. This, in fact, is not the case. The Bible does not say either way. I also do not find the "beardless" claim in other sources. Any idea where the author got this from, and is it appropriate to include here in the article?

Taking a second look at it, the author states "He was said to be clean-shaven." She is not attributing this to the Bible. The sentence in the article makes it seem as if the Bible calls Abraham beardless. Either way, this sentence should be changed or removed. XZealous (talk) 09:18, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
