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/45/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/45Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD45kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70245445086#gid=70245445086

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 459
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=45Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD45kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-45vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70245445086
}}

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/457TAMP45KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-45srgJTWns6bLRD_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.

לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ עַל־שֹׁ֭שַׁנִּים לִבְנֵי־קֹ֑רַח מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל שִׁ֣יר יְדִידֹֽת׃ 1 For the director. According to the tune “Lilies.” By the Korahites, who serve in the temple as singers and gatekeepers. A maskil for giving wisdom. Also An ode in praise to the king on the occasion of his wedding.
רָ֘חַ֤שׁ לִבִּ֨י ׀ דָּ֘בָ֤ר ט֗וֹב אֹמֵ֣ר אָ֭נִי מַעֲשַׂ֣י לְמֶ֑לֶךְ לְ֝שׁוֹנִ֗י עֵ֤ט ׀ סוֹפֵ֬ר מָהִֽיר׃ 2 My heart has been stirred with strong, positive emotion by a good theme about the king, and this good theme has prompted me to action, to speak about him; I, a court poet am about to recite my verses which I have composed to the king for his wedding. My tongue, my tool for producing excellent work, is like a pen of a skillful scribe, so just as a scribe's pen produces beautiful written words for the elite, I will produce beautiful spoken words for the king, who deserves only the best poetry that can be written.
יָפְיָפִ֡יתָ מִבְּנֵ֬י אָדָ֗ם ה֣וּצַק חֵ֭ן בְּשְׂפְתוֹתֶ֑יךָ עַל־כֵּ֤ן בֵּֽרַכְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ 3 You, king, are the most attractive of all people; in accordance with the royal ideal of wisdom, kindness has been poured out by your speech, which allows all people under your leadership to thrive. Therefore, based on these ideals of royal perfection that you embody, I conclude that, God has commended you forever.
חֲגֽוֹר־חַרְבְּךָ֣ עַל־יָרֵ֣ךְ גִּבּ֑וֹר ה֝וֹדְךָ֗ וַהֲדָרֶֽךָ׃ 4 In accordance with the royal ideal of military power, Strap your sword upon (your) thigh to prepare for action, great one, in your splendour and your majesty.
וַהֲדָ֬רְךָ֨ ׀ צְלַ֬ח רְכַ֗ב עַֽל־דְּבַר־אֱ֭מֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶ֑דֶק וְתוֹרְךָ֖ נוֹרָא֣וֹת יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ 5 And in your majesty, victoriously ride for the cause of the things you love: truth and humility, righteousness, and let your strong right hand, which represents your unsurpassed military strength, show you awesome things.
חִצֶּ֗יךָ שְׁנ֫וּנִ֥ים עַ֭מִּים תַּחְתֶּ֣יךָ יִפְּל֑וּ בְּ֝לֵ֗ב אוֹיְבֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ 6 Your arrows are sharp, prepared to fire at the enemy. Peoples will fall under you; in the heart of the enemies of the king, and you emerge as the victor.
כִּסְאֲךָ֣ אֱ֭לֹהִים עוֹלָ֣ם וָעֶ֑ד 7 Your throne which represents your reign, O king who shares divine attributes, so I will address as God, is forever and ever; the sceptre of your kingdom is the sceptre of righteousness, which means that your rule is righteous.
אָהַ֣בְתָּ צֶּדֶק֮ וַתִּשְׂנָ֫א רֶ֥שַׁע עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ מְשָׁחֲךָ֡ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֱ֭לֹהֶיךָ שֶׁ֥מֶן שָׂשׂ֗וֹן מֵֽחֲבֵרֶֽיךָ׃ 8 In accordance with the royal ideal of maintaining justice, You love righteousness, and you hate wickedness which means that you are just and righteous. Therefore, God, your God, has anointed you with oil, which is rejoicing, more than your companions, because you are remarkable and uniquely anointed as the king.
מֹר־וַאֲהָל֣וֹת קְ֭צִיעוֹת כָּל־בִּגְדֹתֶ֑יךָ מִֽן־הֵ֥יכְלֵי שֵׁ֝֗ן מִנִּ֥י שִׂמְּחֽוּךָ׃ 9 As part of your joy given by God, All your clothes are myrrh and aloes [and] cassia, richly perfumed like King Solomon in preparation for his royal wedding. From luxurious ivory palaces, stringed instruments have caused you to rejoice.
נִצְּבָ֥ה שֵׁגַ֥ל לִֽ֝ימִינְךָ֗ בְּכֶ֣תֶם אוֹפִֽיר׃ 10 Princesses are among your treasures which you have in your wealth; a queen, the queen mother has taken a stand in the place of honour at your right hand in the particularly pure and fine gold of Ophir, as is appropriate for such a formal, royal occasion; things are as they should be.
וְשִׁכְחִ֥י עַ֝מֵּ֗ךְ וּבֵ֥ית אָבִֽיךְ׃ 11 Hear, daughter, and see and incline your ear to this advice, and forget your past loyalty to your people who are not part of your husband's family and your father's household in loyalty to your new people, husband, and his family,
וְיִתְאָ֣ו הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ יָפְיֵ֑ךְ כִּי־ה֥וּא אֲ֝דֹנַ֗יִךְ וְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוִי־לֽוֹ׃ 12 so that your new husband, the king, will desire your beauty, which is appropriate because he is your husband, and bow down to him in reverence and loyalty,
וּבַֽת־צֹ֨ר ׀ בְּ֭מִנְחָה פָּנַ֥יִךְ יְחַלּ֗וּ עֲשִׁ֣ירֵי עָֽם׃ 13 and as a result Daughter Tyre, the richest of people and your place of origin, will seek your favour with a gift given as a wedding gift as part of a successful political marriage alliance because they also want the favour of your husband the king.
כָּל־כְּבוּדָּ֣ה בַת־מֶ֣לֶךְ פְּנִ֑ימָה 14 The princess is in her chamber with all kinds of valuable goods including the fine jewellery that was part of the dowry that came with a princess upon her marriage; her clothing [is made] from gold settings.
לִרְקָמוֹת֮ תּוּבַ֪ל לַ֫מֶּ֥לֶךְ בְּתוּל֣וֹת אַ֭חֲרֶיהָ רֵעוֹתֶ֑יהָ מ֖וּבָא֣וֹת לָֽךְ׃ 15 In embroidered cloth she will be led to the king, given as an official Tyrian "tribute" to him;

young women after her, her (female) companions, being brought to you as part of the royal wedding procession.

תּ֭וּבַלְנָה בִּשְׂמָחֹ֣ת וָגִ֑יל 16 They will be led with joy and gladness; they will go into the king's palace.
תַּ֣חַת אֲ֭בֹתֶיךָ יִהְי֣וּ בָנֶ֑יךָ 17 In the place of your ancestors, your sons who are born as a result of this marriage will be [princes], reigning after you; you will appoint them as princes over all the earth, continuing your royal line, as every king hopes will happen.
אַזְכִּ֣ירָה שִׁ֭מְךָ בְּכָל־דֹּ֣ר וָדֹ֑ר 18 I shall profess your name in all generations, making your honour and reputation endure into perpetuity. Therefore peoples in addition to Israel/Judah will praise you forever and ever.
