Talk:Mess of pottage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entry on Esau uses the phrase "mess of pottage" (and defines it). This illustrates something interesting about the phrase: it is not actually a Biblical phrase, but it is widely thought to be. It further adds some information about the production of the King James translation, i.e., that it incorporates material from the earlier Geneva Bible, and, as an aside, that doing so went beyond the translators' mandate.

This article seems (to me) to be more like the "better" articles than the "questionable" articles in Writing your first article.
