I'm providing the Biblical basis for the article, since I feel this isn't a subject addressed much or that well elsewhere on the web. There might be more to add as addressed outside the Bible, I'm just not familiar enough with such references to provide them, and am sure others can fill in anything I miss. Hopefully this serves as a starting point for a solidly-based article. --Joshua Zambrano 07:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
