What is the normal English name for this subject in WP:RS? btw, please we don't write "G-d" unless in quote of a text that actually does so. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Done some editing, translating into English awkward terms, grammar that seem to have come from he.wikipedia. The article is still badly in need of modern English sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Mitzvah of sanctifying the Kohensomething more in accordance with WP:EN and WP:RS – Current title is in breach of WP:EN, (and WP:CAPS), and unsupported by WP:RS per Google Scholar and Google Books searches. The origin of this article/essay appears to be in part translation of he.wikipedia "sanctification of the seed of Aaron" (Hebrew מצוות קידוש זרעו של אהרן), so tentatively propose perhaps sanctification of the priesthood (Judaism), or similar, would be more in line with how this subject is treated in Google Scholar and Google Books.

I'm not sure, I think "sanctify" rather than "honour" is there both in the he.wikipedia title. It only came to mind because of sources such as: Hauge The descent from the mountain: narrative patterns in Exodus 19-40 p195 "the sanctification of the priests implies that Aaron too must be present for the new set of instructions in 11.1." Jacob Neusner A rabbi talks with Jesus 2000 p161 "The Pharisees lay heavy stress on teachings of the priests in Leviticus and want Israel to live now, here and everywhere, in accord with those rules that the Torah of Moses set forth for the sanctification of the priests." Papyri, Ostraca, parchments and waxed tablets F. A. J. Hoogendijk, P. van Minnen, Willy Clarysse - 1991 "Nowhere in Leviticus 9 it is explicitly said that the priests washed themselves or put on their robes, ... were assumed to be present every day in the temple to attend the sanctification of the priests and the daily offerings. ..." etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Based on In Ictu's poor presentation (cherry picking?) of sources supporting his attempted move of B'rov am hadrat melech (see the move request on the discussion page), I recommend that his presentation of sources here be taken with a grain of salt until someone else has had the time to check the sources independently with Google Book Search. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 17:05, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

NOTE This same duplicate paragraph above seems to have been posted on over a dozen article Talk pages, in almost all cases where Lisa has deleted WP:RS - including Nosson Scherman, Maimonides, Rashi etc, - that use English terms. This isn't germane to the page RM discussion here, however as regards the charge of cherry picking anyone can run Google Books search on Talk:B'rov am hadrat melech and see if they get a different result to 1x vs 2,770x. But even if the results were reversed, MOS:COMMONALITY requires following the English. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:46, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
