message: The article mentions Samaria as the location of Shiloh. This may have been the name of the area in biblical times, today it belongs to either the Occupied Palestinian Territories or to the Republic of Palestine, whatever you prefer. Describing the location as Samaria without further specification is misleading.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.86.141.34 (talk) 20:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I just checked the Biblical Concordance (sorry not online) the etymology of the word "Messiah" comes from the Hebrew "masiach" from the verb "limshoach" or to anoint.  A Masiach is an anointed one.  If there are other theological connotations placed upon the word I admit I'm unaware from the simple meaning is not "peaceful one" but "anointed one".

replies: text: Quite true that Messiah means "anointed one" - but Hebrew words, unlike English ones, don't come from verbs. (They come from trilateral roots - three consonants, around which vowels are added to make up different parts of speech). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PiCo (talk • contribs) 09:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: " It could be a figure, perhaps the Messiah,"  There is an external link associated with this which points to a Christian site.  The verbage should say "there are Christian interpretations of this as the Messiah" so as not to confuse people who might not realize that there is a specific POV behind the term "the Messiah" as used in the external link.

message: "One of the more intriguing finds was that of a heap of pottery outside the city wall before the advent of the Israelite culture (c1000 BCE). "
The most commonly accepted date for Israelites  to enter  the Holy Land, AFAICT, is prior to 1200 BCE; the Merneptah stele identifying Israel as living in the same overall region as the  Canaanites is 1207 BCE.  Since the  Egyptians could distinguish  the  two cultures well enough  to give them separate names requires that the  Israelite culture  existed when the  stele was put up, in the absence of evidence that Merneptah's troops performed an ethnographic survey while stealing grain during a period of dessication.
So the date here is wrong.
Second, other material in the article provides radiometric dating.  If there's no radiometric dating to back up this statement, then how was the  dating established?  What's more, there's no citation of the  source of the  statement.  Just because  the next paragraph refers to Finkelstein's  radiometric dating  doesn't  mean it applies to the  paragraph I'm talking about.
