Build Expanded Paraphrase

Click within the CBC to insert an expansion. A textbox will appear. Type in (or copy into) the textbox and push ESC to cancel or ENTER to save.

Alternatively, you may edit the CBC/insertions alternation directly at Data/24/expanded-paraphrase.json for a final draft. If you're viewing a paraphrase from the wiki, save it as a draft and then modify.

If there is an extra space between two parts...

, you'll need to modify the json file directly. For example, to enable plots: 

	{
		"verse": "1",
		"cbc": "plot",
		"Index": 6,
		"suppressFollowingSpace": true
	},
	{
		"verse": "1",
		"insertion": "s",
		"WordsBefore": 6,
		"Index": 7
	},

If a Google discourse sheet exists...

You may import the Expanded Paraphrase from the sheet by following these instructions.

Prepare the discourse sheet

  1. Open the Discourse Google sheet for this Psalm.
  2. Go to the tab named "Public-Text" (which is likely already made). If it doesn't exist, follow these instructions (you'll need it all by the end of this).

Prepare

To enable this, you must:

  1. Open the Discourse Google sheet for this Psalm.
  2. Add a new tab named "Public-Text" (the name isn't actually critical)
  3. Use as the formula in the top-left cell: ='Discourse Master Sheet'!A:A (or whatever the appropriate code is to select the first column of the master sheet).
  4. Drag the formula over to Column C and down as far as needed to get all the rows.
  5. File > Share > Publish to Web
  6. Instead of Entire Document, choose sheet Public-Text
  7. Instead of Web Page, choose Tab-separated values.
  8. Copy the link starting from after /d/e until before the &single, e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279&single=true&output=tsv
  9. Edit the base Psalm page, e.g. Psalm 19
  10. Add the DiscourseSheet property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279
|Banner Image=Psalm 19 banner image.jpg
  1. In D2, type "Expanded Paraphrase" as the new header. (This, like the one below, will be used by code to ensure this is what is intended.)
  2. In E2, type "Expanded Paraphrase as JSON" as the new header.

Get the spreadsheet ID

  1. Now you'll need to save the Google spreadsheet ID. This will be used to generate the JSON within the Google environment. (The Google sheet URL, which is likely already stored, will be used to extract the JSON into the Resource Site.)
  2. From the URL, copy the link starting from after /d until before the /edit?, e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/24Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD24kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70224424086#gid=70224424086

Save the spreadsheet ID

(This step can be skipped if you'll only ever manuallly populate this; this goal permits us to bulk populate all discourse spreadsheets.)

  1. Edit the base Psalm page, e.g. Psalm 249
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=24Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD24kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-24vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70224424086
}}

Populate the Public-Text sheet

  1. Actually extract the bold & italics from the main sheet into the Public-Text sheet. This involves running an Apps Script. First open this: https://script.google.com/u/0/home/projects/247TAMP24KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-24srgJTWns6bLRD_l6eNSj9zy4Bxzc/edit.
  2. Now add your discourse sheet id to the end of the list of spreadsheetIDs at the top, remembering to enclose it in double quotation marks and ensuring everything is comma-delimited.
  3. At the top of the page, ensure "extractBoldFromMultipleSpreadsheets" is in the menu bar.
  4. Click Run.
  5. If the Execution Log at the bottom of the page doesn't show "Execution started" and then "Execution completed" then ask Elizabeth for help...

Extract the Public-Text sheet to the Resource Site

Follow the above instructions and refresh the page. The Discourse Sheet properties have not yet been set.

Use the Save current draft button at the bottom of the page to save.

לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמ֥וֹר לַֽ֭יהוָה הָאָ֣רֶץ וּמְלוֹאָ֑הּ תֵּ֝בֵ֗ל וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ 1 By David, a psalm. Since YHWH alone created everything The earth and its fullness belong to YHWH, the world and the inhabitants in it, so he doesn't lack anything that we could offer him, nor can we manipulate him as we tried when we brought the ark into battle at Aphek,
כִּי־ה֭וּא עַל־יַמִּ֣ים יְסָדָ֑הּ וְעַל־נְ֝הָר֗וֹת יְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ 2 because he founded it, the world, upon seas and established it upon oceans, thereby establishing the waters' boundaries and his sovereign authority .
מִֽי־יַעֲלֶ֥ה בְהַר־יְהוָ֑ה 3 In previous attempts to unite his ark and his temple, however, we have tried to manipulate the ark's presence, and we saw how Hophni, Phineas, the men of Beth-Shemesh and Uzzah suffered the consequences of doing so according to their own understanding. As we now bring the ark into Jerusalem, we are determined to do it rightly this time. So, Who may go up on the mountain of YHWH? And who may stand within his holy place?
נְקִ֥י כַפַּ֗יִם וּֽבַר־לֵ֫בָ֥ב וְלֹ֖א נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לְמִרְמָֽה׃ 4 Unlike the Israelite army who tried to manipulate the ark's presence being carried by Hophni and Phineas, the answer to who may enter his presence is: only One with clean hands and a pure heart, and in contrast to the actions of Hophni and Phineas, who were morally corrupt and unfit for priestly worship of YHWH as they treated their duties with contempt, the answer is: one who hasn't taken delight in falsehood, nor taken an oath deceitfully- falsehood and deceit being euphemisms for idols. So, clean hands and a pure heart represent ethical purity, and rejection of idolatry is part of proper worship.
יִשָּׂ֣א בְ֭רָכָה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה 5 As for this person with moral and religious integrity He will receive blessing from YHWH just as Obed-Edom was blessed after inhabiting with the presence of the ark and privilege from the God of his salvation- that is, the right standing to form part of those who will accompany YHWH's ark, just as Obed-Edom participated in the ark's procession.
זֶ֭ה דּ֣וֹר דֹּרְשָׁ֑יו 6 Previously Israel tried to manipulate YHWH's presence and did not respect his boundaries of holiness Such, that is, with moral purity and the ability to accompany the ark and enter YHWH's presence, is the generation of those now seeking him, of those who seek your face, the generation of Jacob. Selah.
שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים ׀רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וְֽ֭הִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עוֹלָ֑ם וְ֝יָב֗וֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃ 7 This true Jacob, those now seeking him in right worship, are those qualified to enter his presence as they bring the ark of YHWH to his temple-mountain - an image of the entire cosmos. After subduing anything chaotic in creation, he is like a returning victor from battle entering his capital city, just as the ark was returned victoriously from the Philistine territory and the people of Beth-Shemesh lifted up their eyes and rejoiced, so Lift up your heads in expectation and hope, gates, you true worshippers who seek YHWH's face, and be lifted up to open and welcome him, eternal doorways, so that the glorious king might enter to be enthroned, victorious, over his cosmic temple!
מִ֥י זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫ב֥וֹד יְ֭הוָה עִזּ֣וּז וְגִבּ֑וֹר יְ֝הוָ֗ה גִּבּ֥וֹר מִלְחָמָֽה׃ 8 Who is this glorious king? The one who created and sustains the world, YHWH, has shown himself to be a mighty one and a warrior, superior over any other god, assuming his rest in the cosmic temple after establishing order in the cosmos. YHWH is a battle warrior, whose special presence is manifested by the Ark having returned from battle to enter his temple-mount.
שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים ׀רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וּ֭שְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עוֹלָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃ 9 Lift up your heads, gates of creation, indeed, of all his created subjects, and lift up to open and, eternal doorways, so that the glorious king might enter!
מִ֤י ה֣וּא זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫ב֥וֹד יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֑וֹת ה֤וּא מֶ֖לֶךְ הַכָּב֣וֹד סֶֽלָה׃ 10 Who is this glorious king? The Lord of all creation who has revealed himself as YHWH of armies, sitting enthroned between the cherubim on the ark, and established his special presence on Mount Zion, He is the glorious king, to whom belongs the worship of the whole world. Selah.
