Talk:Tzrufa

Origin of the name
The article stated "Some writers opine that it was named after the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Sarafand on whose lands it was built. Others point to the inscription at the village entrance which states ""The word of the Lord is pure [tzrufa]; He is a shield to all them that take refuge in him" (Psalms 18:30)." " This suggests that the third source disagrees about the origin of the name. However, this source actually states "A biblical text is inscribed on the sign at the entrance: “The word of the Lord is pure [tzrufa]; He is a shield to all them that take refuge in him” (Psalms 18:30). But the name of this cooperative community is not taken from Psalms. It derives from the name of the Palestinian village, Al-Sarafand, on whose ruins it was built." This is misleading editing, and I have edited the text to reflect the consensus that Tzrufa took its name from Sarafand. RolandR (talk) 16:43, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
