I believe there is an error with the article, but it is locked so I am unable to edit and correct it.
In the subsection "Patristic era" it says:
Christians have traditionally interpreted the unnamed serpent in the Garden of Eden as Satan due to Revelation 12:7, which calls Satan "that ancient serpent".
Satan is incorrectly referenced as a subordinate to "Yahweh" in the Hebrew Bible in the introduction section. This confuses modern (or more recent ancient) religious belief with the scholarly reconstruction of the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton in ancient times, which would not have been in common usage by the time the Hebrew Bible was written. "Yahweh" is a reconstruction of the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton, which modern Judaism, Islam, and most Christian denominations do not accept as correct, and which no Hebrew holy text states or implies is correct. No indication of the correct usage of vowels is ever given in the Hebrew Bible. I suggest to clarify usage of "Yahweh" and the time period which it applies to, and replace it with "God" throughout the article, or "YHWH" when giving a direct translation of a passage in which the Tetragrammaton is used in the original Hebrew.

"modern Judaism, Islam, and most Christian denominations do not accept" And why should we care what they think on a matter of archaeology? The main article on the Iron Age pagan god is Yahweh.Dimadick (talk) 22:58, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
