Vermilion in the Old Testament
I am sorry if I have upset you - that was not the intention. I do not "keep undoing" this edit. I removed it once (in September 2009), with a lengthy explanation on the Talk:Vermilion page. When someone (if it was you, you did it anonymously) recently reverted this change without any justification I re-reverted it.

For a detailed explanation of the reasons for change, please read Vermilion in the Old Testament on the Talk:Vermilion page. In summary:
 * Your edit talks of "...the earliest description of the process... ", but the biblical passage contains no description of any manufacturing process.


 * The article (or at least the main body) is about the mercury-based vermilion dye, which is not the dye refered to in the quoted passage. There is no evidence that the ancient Hebrews used or were aware of the mercury-based vermilion dye.

If you want to include this content, I suggest that you remove the (incorrect) assertion about description of a process, and make it clear that the vermilion in this context is not the mercury-based dye to which the main part of the article refers. FredV (talk) 09:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
