 * Comment: While mentioned, there's really not a lot of RS that gives an in-depth discussion of the phrase. So far the best I've found is this bit in a Bible commentary and this part in a dictionary. Don't we have a list page about terms and concepts mentioned in the Bible? If more can't be found then I'd support a merge and redirect to there. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah. I was thinking of List of plants in the Bible. That list article seems to refer to actual plants, so I don't know if a merge would be appropriate here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:43, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep It appears in sermons and Bible commentaries, albeit more often in older ones since this translation has gone out of recent translations. Going back years, you can see that 5-20 people a day come to Wikipedia ot identify this odd phrase. Phrases found in the King James Version, like this one, take on a life of their own, separate from the identification of the plant.  A fuller article seems more useful than a redirect to the List of Bible Plants, since it is a phrase that is referenced and discussed by theologians, in addition to being a plant.  So, keep this one,  just as we keep, Stumbling block, Suffer fools gladly, et al.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:44, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
