Exodus 30:23
Delete. This appears to simply be a quote from Exodus. &#38738;&#12356;(Aoi) 10:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Exodus under the heading Chapters 25 to 31 . Delete. Megan1967 10:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I apologize for not doing the search before voting, but I'm fairly sure that the Book of Exodus is on Wikisource. Consequently, that particular verse is on Wikisource, so delete.  However, if I am wrong and Wikisource doesn't yet have the whole Bible (several KJV Bibles are already flat coded and out there as public domain), then, really, this is a thing Wikisource should address.  In either case, it's not appropriate to have an article that's a PD quote, nor for the article on Exodus to be picking verses hither and thither (and yon). Geogre 13:54, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's not an article. Merge into Wikisource if it's not there. Mgm|(talk) 17:06, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Shiny Wikisource:Religious texts contains a KJV translation of the Bible, alongside others, with all of the verses you could want. Wikipedia is not a repository for the contents of religions' holy books.  Wikisource has a whole area for that, with many major religions' holy books already present. Delete.

 * Delete, no merge. Wikipedia is not a collection of source text fragments; otherwise adherents would simply insert sentence after sentence until WP contained the entire source text, whether in one file or as hundreds of separate article stubs.  Wikisource has the material as Uncle G noted, and the article has external links to every chapter.  No need to redirect this title and every other book/chapter/verse combination.  No indication that this verse has widespread individual significance (cf. Ten Commandments).  Barno 19:03, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Del per Barno.  &mdash;msh210 21:19, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a Bible. No merge, don't put in Wikisource, as it is probably already on there. Stancel 00:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
