message: Consider the name Yisraeli. It might mean the father of the biblical Israelites, ie Jacob, thus singular when used in this manner but with a plural verb. Eg, Yisraeli is our patriarchal father. But identifying their ethnicity will be plural. Eg, We are Yisraeli. Another way is 'Yisraeli(singular) is for Yisraeli(plural).'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pat254 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay, my reasoning is: in 2000 BC the Israelites did not exist, the Hebrew language (or anything like it) did not exist, the Hebrew alphabet (or anything like it) did not exist. So Torah manuscripts could not exist either, in any meaningful sense. tgeorgescu (talk)  20:40, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

The file you recently added has a question mark on the very title of the file. As much as I look at it, and try to expand it to see the details, I can't see the Hebrew letters there that would make up the word "Elohim" (אלהים) in it. Maybe the caption should be changed to say something like "that some argue (who?) bears the Hebrew inscription "Elohim."? Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 16:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a photo I myself took, I put the question mark in. It's probable that the carver had little knowledge of Hebrew (I've seen similar bad Hebrew carving elsewhere in Dublin) and you can just about make out  Sheila1988 (talk) 19:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you . If so, I believe that a note should be added to the caption of the picture, explaining what you explain above. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 20:05, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

text: P.S.- By the way, the correct Hebrew spelling of the word is אלהים. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 20:08, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but I don't think the carver knew such intricacies as the terminal mem Sheila1988 (talk) 20:10, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: So what model from real life do you think the carver may have used, when he tried to carve the work אלהים? He just carved it out of his own mind/memory? There is no text written in Hebrew that would spell the work as you spell it. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 20:29, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

text: I am sorry, but try as I may (and I have been trying the best I can), I cannot see the word carved there. To me it just looks more like a random carving. But in any case, you would need some other reliable source that says that the word is carved there. According to Wikipedia guidelines just you saying that the word is indeed carved there would look to me like WP:OR. I won't remove it, but someone else might. Thanks for your efforts.
