Welcome, Josh. Thank you for your edits to our wiki.

I see that you added extrabiblical material in the etymology of the name Helel for the adversary, Satan. While this is interesting, it is not from a Biblical point of view, so I am tempted to remove the references to the ancient pagan deities that shared the titles of Helel and Lucifer.

But I myself use outside sources to back up interpretations sometimes. It is not unusual for words to be used in other contexts to describe different things. It is quite instructive that Helel can be tied to a contemprary pagan god. The tidbit about "Lucifer" may have influenced the early translators as well.

Keep up the good work. SouthWriter (talk) 15:37, April 21, 2018 (UTC)
