Quotation Problem[edit]

Due to a mistake in the placement of quotation marks, it's not completely clear what parts of this sentence are quoted. If someone has access to the original, I would be grateful if you could clear this up. I've got my own personal idea about where the quotation mark is missing (after the word "Psalter") but I'm not going to mess with it since I haven't personally seen the source.

Patrick D. Miller suggests that Psalm 1 "sets the agenda for the Psalter through its "identification of the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked as well as their respective fates" as well as "its emphasis on the Torah, the joy of studying it and its positive benefits for those who do."[7] Alephb (talk) 02:11, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

I am rather leery of the Greek and Hebrew text that has recently been inserted by @Evrey9:. There is no citation for where the text was copied from: is it copyrighted? There were substantial matches in online Greek Bibles. Also, some of the "references" I removed were not references at all. A reference is a link to a reliable secondary source and not a little explanatory blurb. So let's be a little more careful around here. There is plenty of good Biblical scholarship to be had out there. Elizium23 (talk) 16:31, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've made translation myself thus it is free from copyright. What caused your question? Do you reject that Hebrew "Esher" is "happiness" and that is plural? All you need just to look into the reference I brought.Evrey9 (talk) 16:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You personally translated ancient Hebrew into Koine Greek and then into Modern English? Impressive! (It is not "free from copyright", because when you added it to Wikipedia, you agreed to release your contribution under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license and the GFDL.) The "references" you provide are not reliable secondary sources but glib explanations and do not count as references at all. We require everything on Wikipedia to be verifiable.
