Corrections

Posted Friday, June 30, 2006, at 6:44 AM ET

In the June 28 "Blogging the Bible," David Plotz misspelled the name of God's favorite subcontractor. It's "Bezalel," not "Belazel."

In a June 28 "Explainer," Daniel Engber used "Abd al-Allah" as an example of an Arabic name. "Allah" never takes the definite article. The "Abd al-" construction is used with the attributes of God—as in "Abd al-Karim" (the servant of the Generous) and "Abd al-Jabbar" (the servant of the Mighty).

In the June 23 "Today's Pictures," Magnum misidentified La Casa Mila as the Sagrada Família.
