Pronunciation

I have changed dʒā-rĕd to dʒā-rĕd, dʒĕ-rĕd\rəd to dʒĕ-rĕd\rəd and yĕ\yā́-rĕḏ to yĕ\yā́-rĕḏ by using Template:IPA, though I'm sure more work is needed before the right IPA symbols are in place. Once I'm certain which sounds ā, ĕ etc represent I'll change them (if someone hasn't already). LewPotT 12:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dinah

I have removed the link for Dinah, Jared's mother. It was pointing to Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah. This was not Jared's mother as Jacob was descended from Jared. Jared's mother does not have her own wikipedia page. Mellie107 (talk) 07:18, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Longevity

What on earth is this section doing here? It has nothing to do with Jared in particular. A simple link to "Biblical longevity" would do the trick. Languagehat (talk) 20:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
