	I added a bit saying that some states still restrict the sale of alcohol on Sundays to the 4th commanded in US law section. I'm pretty sure this is still true in some places; at least it was as of recently. Massachusetts did not permit liquor stores to be open on Sunday last I heard (though bars can be), and in New York I still think you can't buy alcohol before noon. If I'm wrong and these laws have changed feel free to revert, although I'd like a source.

	Trouble is that an encyclopedia is supposed to ''refer to'' the evidence, not quote it verbatim. It would be a nice idea to quote ''all'' the translations (there are dozens), but IMO PhilipB's proposal is the best, not because the KJV is always the most accurate (it isn't) but because it is the most literal (sometimes absurdly so), and therefore tends to preclude all 'interpretations'. It is also out of copyright. Given the tendency around here to quote the NIV (!) that would seem to be a wise precaution!--[[User:Petrus\|Petrus]] 13:25, 17 March 2007 (EDT)		Trouble is that an encyclopedia is supposed to ''refer to'' the evidence, not quote it verbatim.
