Too many problems. Essentially a cut-and-paste from various sources over 100 years old, done by someone with an uncertain grasp of written English (I had to correct a basic grammatical error in the 2nd sentence). The sentence "By soldiers of to-day pointed shoes are worn over the sandals, affording protection to the toes in mountainous districts." comes direct from s.5 of an entry in the Schaff–Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge of 1914 or earlier. The "religious clothing" section mixes up modern and ancient usages without saying which is which. The article did not make it clear that it deals only with the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, which I will alter. No secondary sources dating to later than 1915 are used on the main subject. Far too few links exept biblerefs and pronunciation respelling key ones. A difficult subject for sure, but this is not ready to go on the main page. Johnbod ( talk) 11:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
It is not gibberish is useful information--called phonetic spelling-- from a cited source. You may not remove text just because of personal opinions or WP:OR.

Since these respellings follow the web source exactly, you cannot claim they "fail verification." This is not a case of substituting foreign pronunciations with English pronunciations. They are not English words and don't have any "real" English pronunciations, so English phonotactics don't apply. They are merely simulating or approximating Hebrew pronunciations with English letters.
If you think there is a Wikipedia policy against showing foreign pronunciations that a non-linguist can understand, then feel free to show it to me. tahc chat 05:34, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
The current version is filled with errors and references that do not support the claim they are meant to. For example, it claims that "The present custom in the Middle East to veil the face originates with Islam.", which is false, since veiling was required under Assyrian law circa 1000BCE. Similarly, it cites Genesis 12:14 and 24:15 to say women did not wear veils, which are, at best, ambiguous. I've cut much of the paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.150.58 ( talk) 08:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
To whom it may concern: I was able to fix the broken links in the section Israelite priests by replacing the old links with this one: (e.g. Numbers 19:6 [Go into edit mode to view the template's format]. We need a volunteer to make the same changes in all the other links in the other, respective sections, by copying the template and pasting it in those places where the link is broken, but being careful to also carefully write out the designation of the Biblical passage in the link (example: Exodus, Leviticus, etc., with its specific chapter and verse.
