Citation on Tartessos[edit]

Is this enough?:

JONAH, BOOK OF
he goes down to Joppa to take ship for Tarshish (Tartessus in Spain)

Not really...if you look at the JE's article on Tarshish, it makes clear that the existence of Tartessus at all, as a distinct locale, is disputed. Tomertalk 03:04, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

The citation from the Bible concerns Sarepta. Was Sepharad derived from it by a conscious metathesis? 37.47.205.174 (talk) 11:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. And it isn't Spain at all, it's Sardis. See here..[1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.87.143.37 (talk) 13:34, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
