Mount Gerizim Temple

(

... that a small golden bell found at the site of the Mount Gerizim Temple, an ancient Samaritan sanctuary, is believed to have been part of the ephod of a high priest, as described in Exodus 28?

"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)
