Jubilee names

Hi, it would be better to explain in the article body "According to the Book of Jubilees, his mother was n. instead of the infobox since not everybody accepts Jubilees... Also see Wives aboard the Ark, there are competing traditions for Arphaxad's mother... Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 22:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Ιησους

I read your comment on an archived talk page for Jesus (from, I think, Nov. 2013) about the pronunciation of the Greek name of Jesus. I wanted to tell you that your comment doesn't seem to make sense. The first three letters of the name are Iota Eta Sigma. These are pronounced "yee-ays." In Greek, an initial Iota followed by another vowel is always a "consonantal iota," being pronounced something like a vocalized soft J or a Y. "Yeh-" Greek words demand one syllable per vowel or diphthong, and here we have three: I-e-sous. There is no "T" or theta sound present in the word, so I don't understand why you would say "ethos" is a proper pronunciation of it.
