Tower of Babel: To edit in the portion about the pun of "babble" that occurs in both Hebrew and English:
- Under Etymology at the end of the paragraph-> The pun with the word 'Babel' exists in both the Hebrew and English versions, and the author intended it to be this way. Wordplay (though not etymologically correct) was a characteristic of the authoring J source. <Coogan, Michael David. The Old Testament: A Historical and Literary Introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures. THIRD ed. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2014.="" />
Proposed edit to Wife Sister Narratives: (right before the main heading 'Jewish and Christian interpretations.')
- In the past, the first (A) and third (C) narratives have been attributed to the Yahwist source (or J source), and the second narrative (B) has been attributed to the Elohist source (or the E source) via source criticism. However, it has also been proposed that similarities between these narratives is because they are oral variations of one original story. Some scholars more recently believe that sources B and C were based on the knowledge of account A.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Vestus Tentamentum: Are the Wife/Sister Incidents of Genesis Literary Compositional Variants?|last = Alexander|first = T.D.|publisher = |year = 1992|isbn = |location = |pages = 145}}</ref>
